Ha, sorry for adding to your project list! If someone sponsors me a powerful computer that can handle this kind of computing, I’ll jump right into it with my AI agent! If you try it first, definitely let me know how it turns out.
Quick update, @Tindallh — you started something! Turns out I didn’t have to wait for that sponsor after all. I found a way to do it without a powerful computer, so I’ve already jumped in. The first results look promising. I’ll show more once it’s worth showing!
This rose relief was computed with open-source AI on a small 2-core virtual machine — no GPU, no paid generation service, no credits. My AI agent runs it for me in its own workspace (my own laptop is too old for this). The AI estimates the shape and the surface details from the image, and some good old math puts it together into a height map. The source image is my own from ChatGPT, and I finished it in Blender.
I’m really happy with how the overlapping petals and the leaf veins came out. Next I want to try it on other subjects to see if it holds up.
