One picture, but it took dozens to get it to here… but it does not have any inpainting, no Photoshop beta… nothing but reference, prompt, zoom, re-prompt, re-zoom, until I got what I was trying for.
(1) This started as an idea… I wanted a super modern trolley that felt like MOSTLY glass. I wanted it to have a golden glow, and the ground to be reflective (so – wet).
• photograph of a circa 2300AD hyper-modern glass and steel trolley in the future modern city of San Francisco. Interior golden glow. Wet pavement that is highly reflective. modern architecture background. Overcast sky. People walking about shopping. –ar 16:9 –s 500
This is the prompt I started with… while I thought it looked super neat, it was not ‘modern’ enough – yet.
(2) I found a really cool reference render that was moving me in the right direction… so I uploaded this to Midjourney to play around with… Image I used is attached… this was how I modified the prompt:
•[ reference image ] photograph of a hyper-modern glass and steel trolley bus in the future modern city of San Francisco. Interior golden glow. Wet pavement that is highly reflective. modern architecture background. Overcast sky. People walking about shopping. –ar 16:9 –s 250
Getting better – but it still felt too here-and-now. I wanted to push it further into the future.
This is the reference image I called on…
And this is where I was moving… MUCH better!
But.,.. I wanted to step back and zoom out from the original image.
