"A boutique store, interior view, an architectural sketch, with a detailed play of light and shadow, the store has an ornate, classic style, the drawing is made using ink and watercolor, a dynamic and creative effect, the contrast of light and dark shades, loose brush strokes, perspective representation, 3D, HDRi"

With the release of the latest AI Visualization update, recalling prompts and setting is now possible. I just wanted to share this artistic style that is very appealing to me. I am including a screenshot and the vectorworks file so you can recall the prompt and apply it to your projects. Let me know how it works for you. A night cafe.vwx

Object Level Visibility - How are you using it?
Luis M Ruiz replied to Neil Barman's topic in General Discussion
For my daily projects I need a custom workspace, and I added this feature to my "right mouse click". For me, It is faster and convenient. -
Something I knew would work well: Futuristic city, inspired on blade runner movie, intricate architecture, glass and metal facades, sunset, low lights.

I am digging deeper into the quality differences between available AIs. Here is my test for today: AI Visualizer > Veras > Flux. They all produce a different approach.

@E|FA Water under the bridge. Let's all move on and keep helping each other.

Excuse me @E|FA, but was your question truly intended on learning the difference between an external app and this latest tool? or you just wanted to voice a personal discomfort/opinion on how our personnel is assigned to different areas/research? I'd suggest you find a different avenue to get your opinion across. You asked me a direct question and I tried to help, please do not take advantage of my time in that way. I share my findings to contribute with our Vectorworks society as I am also a long time user.

@E|FA I’d like to share my personal experience with the emergence of AI image generators. When these tools first started appearing in our browsers, many of us had a wake-up call. Our peers were grappling with questions: What exactly is a prompt? How do you compose one effectively? What if the generated image isn't quite what you had in mind? Or, what if you liked the image but needed something slightly different? These were all valid and common concerns. Over time, it became clear that we wanted our 3D models to serve as the foundation for these images, rather than relying on randomly generated, albeit impressive, fictional project images. Thankfully, other applications began offering solutions that allowed us to create images based on screenshots of our models. Some even included tools for editing parts of the image, such as adding furniture, changing textures, or adjusting props—almost like a quick Photoshop. This was a step forward, but there were still limitations. For instance, if I wanted a different view of my model, I had to take another screenshot, upload it, and start the process over. While this wasn’t a huge problem, it did become a bit tedious. Then, AI Visualizer was introduced—a game-changer. Integrated directly into our workspace, this tool allowed us to transfer whatever view we had on screen into the AI window effortlessly. The concept of prompts and creative expression was already familiar by this point, but the convenience of applying the same AI style across multiple views was a major benefit. Saved views became essential for organizing presentations. As for the editing features, I do miss them. However, I’m confident that the Vectorworks team is taking note of what can be improved. In the meantime, using this AI visualization tool as an assistant is quickly becoming second nature. If I need an image for a PowerPoint presentation, I no longer browse the web—I simply create it.

And since we are here, recently I found one of Bill's tutorial videos (Veras) and decided to follow the steps using Vectorworks and subdivision as my base geometry. I guess I learned something new about the use of seed/similar with Interesting results. AI Cybercity interpolation.mp4

I am testing some AI video makers and they all give different results. Here is one with Runway. Gen-2 1021514263, enhanced landscape i, M 5.mp4

@jbtroostThank you for that prompt. I used it, gave me a nice image, then I ran an AI enhancement and here is the result:

@jbtroost Currently the aspect ratio is set by the request of image by text only or based on vwx screen. Try this: Open a blank Vectorworks page, select Vectorworks as your base image (totally empty white space), type your prompt and create your image. That'll give you a match of your screen proportions. If you only select text only, then you'll get a square. But a very high res square. Give it a try.
