MidJourney: create art texting to an AI Imagine, write and create. I’ll tell you more about my first encounter with an AI using MidJourney, a new AI-powered tool that can turn any imagination into digital artwork. Following the posts of Chris Do on Linkedin, who I’ll always thank for the content he brings online, I came across some digital artworks that he created thanks to a sort of a digital bot that I would call revolutionary and brilliant, a digital innovation. The Founder of The Futur tried to create art with MidJourney, artificial intelligence that helps create visual arts.  How MidJourney work? The process is very simple: write down what you imagine, and AI will suggest digital arts in 60 seconds. The more specific you are in the description, the more precise Midjourney is, and will try to create in detail what you have written. In MidJourney each creation is unique and unrepeatable and, in a few seconds, it can help you improve your projects or give life to artworks that can inspire your creativity. MidJourney for creatives I can’t describe with words how this encounter, between my mind and Midjourney, through the power of words combined with AI, has been so immersive and special, to the point of wanting to implement it completely in the creation of future content including it in my future projects. Testing MidJourney Here I show you the first results I obtained by testing MidJourney indicating only some detached words.  The words that produced these pieces of art are: gold, marble, cinematic, and 4k. Then I added the words “gold, marble, cinematic” some more specific: “woman, portrait” and the results were outstanding. MidJourney is a drug for those witgiveh a creative mind, and after a little practice it can help many creatives to produce unique and form undescribable content or simply take their idea to a visual level, shaping it concretely. Curious about what would happen if you write down something more specific? Check the new video on my Youtube Channel where I do a full guide to how MidJourney works and how to use this extraordinary AI to create digital arts like these: Latest Articles: MidJourney: crea arte scrivendo ad un’IA MidJourney: create art texting to an AI.

The Explosive Creativity in Horizon

The Explosive Creativity in Horizon’s Video Games When Horizon Zero Dawn launched in 2017, industry critics raved about the visual spectacle offered by the vast open-world world created by Guerrilla Games, but they weren’t the only ones. On an artistic and creative level, the video game immediately conquered not only the Gamers. Horizon’s large, colorful and bright views were something to be admired and explored continuously, and the Sony studio exploited the full potential of its PlayStation 4, pushing technical boundaries to the fullest and offering a world full of details. Fiction, characters, nature, sounds… all elements that have led to the production and creativity rarely seen in the field of video games. The world of Aloy is a starting point for the field of video games and a masterpiece for what we now call Creativity. The technical results of Guerrilla have improved the general narrative and visual identity of the game to the point of wanting to want to find and stay inside the game to admire the evolution of nature itself, in this case, associated with a robotic metallic nature: the element that in my opinion has greatly affected the creativity factor. Just look for some images online, even if you have never played it, to enrich your mind with something truly unique. Personally, I would have loved to be part of the development team to follow the creative flow that led to this result. Because it is precisely in the creatures that dominate this world that we see the maximum expression of creativity. Machine, robots, behave like animals, living creatures in wild and prehistoric nature. And these machines are constantly evolving and producing, there is also genius in giving a naturalness to “iron machines”. A list of these amazing machines can be found on Fandom. For this aspect, Horizon Zero Dawn is to be considered an absolute masterpiece of what human genius can produce. And that’s not enough! Soon the second chapter of this fantastic video game will also be released! Rightly, the prospect of a sequel can be daunting. How do you improve the graphics of a game, when those images already push the limits of what is possible? Guerrilla replies that all this can be achieved by improving and expanding what was already great. Judging by the first gameplay videos shared by Guerrilla, Horizon Forbidden West will bring us the same visual spectacle, but also improve in detail, in addition to the creation of new robotic creatures that the female protagonist Aloy, will meet during this new adventure. The list of flashing villains is greatly expanded, introducing new threats such as Tremortusk or Shellsnapper, huge mechanical nightmares. Horizon Zero Dawn had a great art style, but it’s the technology that makes pop art in-game: things like the detailed time of day system, a dynamic weather system, or volumetric light wells (discussed at length in the Digital Foundry video, below) work wonders in the way we perceive the game world in the new chapter as well. You come across a machine and come across a gesamtkunstwerk of creative expression, 3D modeling, animation techniques, audio and visual effects, and a lighting system that calculates in real-time how light plays on metal objects. And so the creativity and graphics of the new Horizon Forbidden West are more or less the same, but even more explosive. The world of Horizon is a pure creative art, but in this case, enclosed in a video game. Do you want to look out at a unique museum? Play these two titles by Guerilla Games. I am sure it will satisfy and surprise every creative taste.
