hi it's Ray from Pro shaper Workshop in
0:02
child Massachusetts we haven't been on
0:03
in a long time we've got plans to have
0:06
some more videos we got a whole bunch of
0:08
stuff planned for 2024 but the big news
0:11
is you've probably seen all those
0:12
pictures and the content of this video
0:15
is how to design AI cars and um I had
0:18
Mark put up a whole bunch of of the AI
0:21
designs that he had made last week and
0:24
it's an interesting um history of how
0:26
that all came about is that I'm I'm on
0:30
Facebook quite a bit a Brazilian uh
0:32
friend Paulo
0:35
POA started posting some really nice
0:38
designs of of sports cars and that and
0:40
everything and I uh private messaged
0:42
them I says say hey where you getting
0:45
those pictures from he says oh this guy
0:46
on Instagram Modo muzi m o t o m u zi is
0:52
putting these pictures up and he's got a
0:54
I don't know 300,000 followers or
0:56
something like that so I go over on
0:58
Instagram and I'm blown away the stuff
1:00
is amazing so I started cutting and
1:03
pasting the pictures and posting them
1:06
some of them on on my Facebook page and
1:09
and and mark came in one day and he's
1:11
sitting at the the the laptop computer
1:14
and I says hey do do you know anything
1:16
about this mid journey I found this guy
1:18
on Instagram who has this this this
1:21
incredible account with all these
1:23
beautiful AI design cars and he says in
1:26
in the comments I I found out he uses
1:28
mid journey.com
1:30
which I didn't know anything about I
1:31
says Mark do you know anything about
1:33
that oh yeah I've been using it for six
1:34
months I says you're kidding I says well
1:37
maybe we can design some cars Mark is
1:40
going to explain how to do the whole
1:42
process right after I get done with with
1:45
my little talk here so Mark started
1:47
designing cars I says see what you can
1:49
do and it's it's it's pretty simple as
1:53
Mark will show you you got to put these
1:54
verbal commands in and his his cars were
1:58
horrible I just did is like oh my God
2:01
there's got to be some secret sauce or
2:02
something that Modo mu's got to be doing
2:05
some post- production work on the
2:07
pictures or something and I read
2:09
somewhere in his comments on Instagram
2:11
that he was a designer for the last 20
2:13
years so I says oh we'll we'll never
2:16
succeed on that so I said to Mark I says
2:18
well maybe you can do some furniture
2:20
designs so I had him do some furniture
2:22
designs just for to see what he come up
2:25
with and um the furniture designs were
2:27
absolutely amazing so I say why don't he
2:30
try the the the car designs again and
2:33
every day he got better and better and
2:35
now I think he's surpassed mod of music
2:37
I don't know how he's done it but uh
2:40
he's an amazing uh Helper and employee
2:43
and he comes up with some as you can see
2:45
those designs he's done probably 300
2:48
designs now it's it's just rocked my
2:50
whole world because I want to build
2:52
these cars the there's some of the best
2:54
designs out there for hot rods for
2:56
sports cars for super cars for like 30s
3:00
Indie Cars any genre of of collectible
3:04
car is possible with this AI so we're
3:07
we're going to actually kind of swerve
3:08
the whole business around this AI
3:11
potential which is going to get better
3:12
and better so thanks for watching this
3:16
Ray from Pro shaper Workshop in Charon
3:18
Massachusetts and now Mark is going to
3:20
give you the the Insight on how to use
3:23
mid Journey so it's Ray from Pro shaper
3:25
thanks for watching all right so Ray
3:28
said I was going to show you how to use
3:29
mid journey to produce AI cars well this
3:32
is the first step you're going to want
3:33
to go to
3:35
discord.com you're going to want the tab
3:37
open for Mid Journey as well but you
3:40
can't design a car through their website
3:43
you have to use Discord which is just
3:46
kind of a big chat conglomerate it's got
3:49
different chat rooms for uh people who
3:51
play games for crypto for finance for
3:54
investing anything like that but mid
3:56
Journey has its own chat room so you're
3:58
going to want to log in if you already
4:00
have one or it's just going to tell you
4:02
to register right below it's very simple
4:05
this is free um so I'm just going to go
4:09
ahead and log in well I'll click log in
4:11
a minute but then you're going to go to
4:13
Mid Journey now I know for some of you
4:15
it's going to look like you're looking
4:16
at the Matrix but it's pretty easy
4:19
you're going to click sign in or join
4:21
the beta because apparently it's still
4:23
in beta so I just click log in and then
4:25
it's just going to bring you a little
4:27
popup that says we want to link your
4:30
account to Discord so just scroll down
4:32
hit
4:35
authorize mid Journey will take you to a
4:37
page where you could show all of your
4:39
images which is really nice because
4:42
sometimes it's it's hard to go through a
4:43
chat that has maybe a million people on
4:46
it constantly producing images so you
4:48
got to scroll to find yours so I feel
4:50
like this is kind of the best way to see
4:53
everything but um going to log back into
4:56
Discord and mind my uh Discord I got a
4:59
lot of stuff in it so mid journey is
5:02
right
5:04
here it's got a little getting started
5:06
tab you can read that it just says go to
5:09
one of the Newbie bot channels on the
5:12
left hand side where my mouse is this is
5:13
where all the channels are so you got
5:15
newcomer rooms you just go in
5:18
there and then you can actually see what
5:21
other people have designed now the
5:23
beautiful part about it is you can also
5:26
see the prompts that they're using to
5:28
produce that image so if you liked it
5:32
you can copy that prompt you could tweak
5:34
it a little bit if you wanted something
5:36
different uh do find that the more you
5:39
give mid Journey the less it will it
5:44
just doesn't work correctly um as you
5:47
can see here uh modern Henda style white
5:49
and black living room I mean it's got
5:51
the white but it didn't really it's got
5:53
black furniture so it might not be
5:56
exactly what you want there's a lot of
5:58
playing with the prompts to to get
6:00
exactly what you want so I just scroll
6:03
all the way to the bottom so I'm there
6:05
and right here is your little text
6:06
channel so you know you write high and
6:08
everything but if you want to get
6:10
started with a car you're going to type
6:13
slash and you see it it comes up with
6:16
all the frequently used prompts
6:18
obviously mine's imagine that's what
6:20
you're going to do you're going to you
6:22
can either type it out slash imagine and
6:26
it'll pop up just click it because you
6:28
want to make sure you see that prompt
6:30
right there in your um your little icon
6:33
thing in that box so we could just start
6:36
off with black super
6:39
car just make it easy now since there
6:43
are a million people on it this may take
6:45
20 30 seconds but it's still a lot
6:49
quicker than designing your own
6:51
car so we're just going to see how this
6:53
comes out and you're just going to see
6:55
it's going at 15% 46% this goes pretty
6:59
fast
7:00
all right so then you're going to see
7:01
wait where did my thing go well it's
7:04
just a little bit lower on the chat
7:06
depending on the time of day it could be
7:07
a lot of activity or it could be not so
7:10
much I find the newbi channel is a lot
7:13
easier since I'm subscribed I'm usually
7:16
on one of the general channels there's I
7:18
think yeah there's 20 of them right now
7:21
so you can click on it open it up and
7:23
see what all the cars look like now say
7:26
you didn't like something about the car
7:30
go back to your uh Discord where your uh
7:33
where the cars show up and you're going
7:35
to see these U1 U2 u3 u4 and then V1 V2
7:40
V3 V4 this means upscale so it starts
7:43
off this is picture one this is picture
7:46
two this is three this is four so say
7:49
you liked three you'd click upscale or
7:52
u3 and it'll upscale it for you now
7:55
it'll go all the way to the bottom and
7:57
boom this thing is maybe four Megs so if
8:00
you were trying to do a shirt or
8:01
something this would be what you wanted
8:04
now you'll also see it gives you
8:06
different options for that one picture
8:08
too you can have the picture zoom out
8:11
two times zoom out one and a half times
8:13
I don't really mess with the zooms and
8:15
uh then you have like very strong and
8:18
very subtle I don't really see it much
8:21
of a difference with those two but
8:23
here's the cool one is very regen so say
8:25
you actually like this car but maybe
8:28
didn't like the end or this rear or the
8:31
roof you click very
8:33
region it'll pop up with the whole
8:35
picture I'm just going to refresh that
8:38
and then what you do is you click and
8:41
just drag your mouse over the area that
8:43
you didn't like and we'll hit submit and
8:46
it'll bring up four new pictures for you
8:50
and you'll notice this guy right here he
8:51
just wrote Urban Design clearly This
8:53
Guy's new or he just forgot to type in
8:56
slash imagine now you could just write I
8:59
am and again the prompt you just click
9:01
it and make sure that that prompt is
9:04
right there because if it's just imagine
9:06
and you type in black
9:08
car it's not going to do anything see it
9:11
kind of it made the screen jump a little
9:13
bit that's what it would
9:15
do so here's four new front
9:21
ends so we got that hood scoop there so
9:24
a little vent
9:28
there
9:29
I don't know I think I like this but I
9:32
may like it because it's just a polished
9:34
black and that's kind of a matte black
9:37
but that could be me Ray would probably
9:39
be like I like number three you're an
9:40
idiot Mark yes I am Ray yes I
9:43
am so the beautiful thing about this is
9:47
by going simple cuz sometimes I will
9:49
start out with some really complicated
9:51
things if you tell it I want a black
9:53
Supercar with large front fenders and uh
9:57
futuristic lights and and the color
10:00
should be white and all this other stuff
10:03
it's too much information for right now
10:04
right now it's mid Journey 5.2 I believe
10:07
mid Journey 6 is coming out the end of
10:10
December or the beginning of next year
10:13
and it's only been within 6 months
10:16
that's gone from I believe mid Journey 3
10:18
to Mid Journey 5.2 and the people
10:21
everything is just so much better so I
10:24
can only imagine what six is going to do
10:26
now we're going to do this again we're
10:29
going to do imagine we're going to do
10:32
black yeah let do black superar
10:36
again but we'll actually start out with
10:38
aerial
10:40
view cuz if you want a rear view aerial
10:43
view you just got to put those prompts
10:45
in so aerial view black super car in a
10:49
white room well I do white backdrop room
10:52
because sometimes it really
10:54
does uh a white room but it's got
10:57
windows and I just want it purely a
10:58
white room white backdrop
11:01
room and you can you can go crazy um if
11:04
you see
11:06
here this guy didn't finish his prompt
11:09
but he's got HD 8K 16.4 Meg I'm going to
11:14
assume that's pixels uh through the lens
11:17
of what the
11:18
heck okay so this guy is clearly writing
11:21
a bunch of weird stuff but um if if you
11:25
put in a picture of a car or uh a prompt
11:28
for a car and you notice it's kind of
11:30
cartoonish try and tell it things like
11:33
Photo
11:34
realistic or I even have things for
11:38
cameras uh like shot with a Sony S10
11:42
with a shutter speed of 1.4 and all
11:46
these different things and you get
11:47
different lightings
11:50
different blur effects in the background
11:53
so it is really wild you just got to
11:55
play around with it for a while to learn
11:56
how to actually talk to it so I'm sorry
11:58
we're going to hit that and watch what
12:01
pops up see some people come up with
12:03
some beautiful stuff yeah see this isn't
12:06
give me the white backdrop but it's you
12:09
can see right now it's 62% it's not
12:11
fully there but I have sort of one
12:14
aerial view of the car the others are
12:17
kind of sort of there but it's really
12:18
that 3/4 angled shot that I was talking
12:21
about so let's just do variations on
12:25
number
12:25
one because I just like that type of
12:29
shot you can also put in prompts like
12:32
cinematic or there was one guy who did
12:35
race cars and it actually looked like it
12:37
was a picture of them racing it had just
12:39
blurred size it was beautiful I forgot
12:42
the prompts but if you pay attention to
12:44
all the channels you'll see what people
12:45
type and you'll get an idea of how to
12:49
get it to do what you want it to do okay
12:51
so here's
12:55
ooh I kind of like number one the best I
12:58
really like that that's
13:01
beautiful okay so last thing I want to
13:03
show you is say you have an image of a
13:06
car that you like let's go I don't know
13:10
uh vintage
13:14
Roadster what you want to do is open the
13:17
picture well that's a nice aerial view
13:20
and you're just going to open the image
13:22
in a new tab because what you want to
13:24
give mid journey is this so you just
13:28
copy
13:29
futuristic Roadster and then boom you
13:31
see I pasted the URL to that
13:34
image hit enter and then it has
13:37
something to go off of if you're going
13:39
to do pictures of cars obviously this
13:41
whole thing is about cars but if you
13:43
have people in the picture that really
13:46
tends to mess with the a Ai and
13:49
sometimes it will actually incorporate a
13:51
person into a car and it's very freaky
13:54
it's the thing nightmares are made of
13:57
okay so this is what it came up with
14:01
not bad kind of like this the
14:04
best but that's nice I mean they're all
14:07
beautiful and again if you want to
14:09
change you can do variations if you want
14:11
one of the pictures and you uh you just
14:13
click upscale or you can just pull that
14:16
down and cut it but the resolution's not
14:19
great so that's why I always like to do
14:20
upscale so I'll upscale
14:23
four you can also go back into your mid
14:26
Journey account where I was saying your
14:28
images were and then if you just refresh
14:30
it boom it has all the new cars and
14:33
they're
14:34
all they're all as singles it's not that
14:38
four um one four in one picture so you
14:41
just click it go to it click download
14:44
image and put it wherever you
14:46
want so that's it for Mid
14:49
Journey now another one I really like
14:53
there's two more I want to show you I'm
14:54
not going to be playing with Microsoft
14:56
co-pilot because I haven't used that yet
14:58
and I really just heard about it on
15:00
Friday when Microsoft had their um what
15:02
the hell was it was the ignite
15:05
event excuse me so next one I'm going to
15:08
do is Dolly so it's d a l l e space e
15:13
Dolly
15:14
3 first thing it comes to is it says
15:17
open AI but that's that's Dolly it's now
15:20
in chat GPT so here you go you got the
15:24
dolly thing click try chat
15:27
GPT I logged out just to show you what
15:30
the page looks like click sign up and I
15:33
believe they're taking new people now it
15:37
was a couple of weeks ago that chat gbt
15:40
created um a whole bunch of new stuff
15:42
for users to use and it really
15:43
overloaded the servers so they may not
15:47
be taking new
15:51
signups but uh yeah beautiful thing is
15:54
it's very much the same as mid Journey
15:56
except you don't have to put in that
15:58
slap imagine that's always kind of a
16:00
pain in the ass a lot of people will
16:02
forget it but dolly is more
16:06
for I want to
16:08
say car it doesn't really give me photo
16:11
realism it gives me an idea of what I
16:15
want uh if you looked at Ray's Facebook
16:17
page today I sent him a car that in the
16:21
shape of a turkey well as as good as
16:27
possible
16:29
so this is the car this car was made
16:31
from Dolly because I knew if I put in a
16:33
turkey car in mid Journey it would come
16:35
up with some craziness that it doesn't
16:38
even look right in fact I was using a a
16:40
Shelby series 1 and it actually just
16:43
provided rims pictures of beautiful rims
16:46
but they were rims so it's still a
16:49
little uh finicky but you know you want
16:51
something weird i' I'd try out Dolly so
16:55
we're back in chat GPT where dolly is
16:57
just type in and uh picture of a blue
17:03
vintage Roadster and see what comes
17:07
up I see right here it just says
17:09
creating image and there's no chat so
17:11
nobody can see what you're doing mid
17:13
Journey has different price tiers if you
17:15
wanted to go private I believe it was
17:17
$60 a month so this is a road uh the
17:20
blue Road store I was saying now like I
17:22
said it's not perfect you don't have the
17:24
full car in the view it's uh it's
17:27
cartoonish somebody wanted somebody's
17:30
got a banana
17:33
car uh ban oh my God banana car now you
17:38
put that in mid Journey it's going to be
17:40
weird you put it in Del it'll give you a
17:42
cartoon representation of maybe a banana
17:45
on four wheels maybe it would just be
17:48
some sort of
17:51
amalgamation okay see this is actually
17:54
kind of
17:55
cool now you could take this image
18:03
let's see if we can just take that image
18:05
from chat GPT and put it back into mid
18:10
Journey oh I don't also download I open
18:13
it in my browser I prefer everything in
18:15
my
18:17
browser all right so go back to Mid
18:21
journey and let's see if
18:25
this banana car
18:29
let's see if this works sometimes
18:31
different sites won't let you use the
18:35
image or or even copy the link it just
18:38
it'll give you an error message you
18:40
might see it say could not validate this
18:42
link because it's chat gbt it's behind a
18:44
a pay wall or a login screen so it's not
18:47
really available to Mid
18:50
Journey what I do with that is I
18:52
actually upload it to my website and
18:53
then use it from there that's cheating
18:56
so you're going to have to probably find
18:58
a work around you could put it on
19:01
Facebook cuz you could use a Facebook
19:04
photo let's do imagine turkey
19:10
car okay that's giving me again oh
19:13
wait no open and new tab that's where I
19:16
went
19:20
wrong turkey car and there's the damn
19:24
long web
19:26
address see that one
19:30
worked but it's nice because you can
19:33
personally I love mid Journey for cars
19:35
and for a lot of other things Dolly I'll
19:37
use if I'm trying to come up with
19:39
something that doesn't
19:40
really exist because it'll work better
19:44
for me and then I'll just put that in
19:45
the mid journey and see if mid Journey
19:47
can do something better and it looks
19:49
like it's going to completely make it
19:51
crazy wow it's actually that's kind of
19:54
looking
19:55
good almost has a like Volkswagen bug is
20:00
Vibe over here um that's kind of cool
20:02
number four number two is weird but this
20:06
almost looks like clamation see you give
20:07
it something weird like a turkey car and
20:11
I just don't think it can conceptualize
20:13
it and a photo realistic way I could be
20:16
wrong if I played with the prompts for
20:18
another 20 minutes I'm sure I could come
20:19
up with something crazier but I don't
20:22
want this video to go on forever so chat
20:26
yout this is where you use Dolly it's
20:27
got to be chat gbt
20:29
4 mid Journey you need Discord and mid
20:32
Journey then there's one other and it
20:36
was called
20:39
viscom uh
20:57
viscom.net
20:59
um oh somebody was asking about a Shelby
21:01
series 1 they said when they're putting
21:03
it in mid Journey it would give them
21:05
some Mustang elements it wouldn't really
21:08
look like a Shelby series
21:10
1 that I haven't figured out yet because
21:14
when I'll put
21:15
in a certain car I want it will give me
21:19
small elements from other cars but this
21:24
has a lot of cool features and this was
21:26
mentioned to me by Steve Shepard who's a
21:27
great great friend of rays awesome dude
21:30
heck of a designer and he told me he's
21:32
like mid journey is out vizcom is
21:35
in so this one's kind of weird you got
21:39
uh well let's do a new
21:42
one we'll go new
21:44
file I usually like landscape but if
21:47
you're trying to do an Instagram thing
21:48
you can do portrait I do create what are
21:51
we creating let's again do the Vintage
21:53
blue
21:55
Roadster okay not quite what I want so I
21:59
didn't like
22:01
that
22:02
Neo
22:04
modern hot
22:08
rod in a black finish I like
22:13
black
22:15
generate and we'll see what comes
22:18
up but there's quite I mean you could
22:20
just go into Google type in text to what
22:24
the
22:25
heck
22:26
interesting
22:30
huh I don't know how to feel about that
22:32
oh you can click regenerate my bad I
22:35
didn't really want to do
22:39
that oh I actually like that
22:43
one okie dokie I can handle
22:48
that sorry I just wanted to see what
22:50
else I could do um this one you'll have
22:53
to play around with I'm not too familiar
22:55
with it I'm sorry I just want to show
22:57
you the many places you can put in a
22:59
just a prompt and it displays these
23:01
beautiful cars so anybody can do this
23:05
designing these cars not everything's
23:07
going to be perfect sometimes you're
23:08
going to have a fender kind of wrapped
23:10
around the tire and somebody's going to
23:12
be like well that can't work well
23:14
obviously but this is just for
23:15
inspiration I mean we've done I have to
23:19
say 500 picture 500 different cars now
23:22
and we just kind of take pieces from
23:23
different cars that we like we I mean
23:26
it's all about the inspir ation if I
23:29
were to try and do this by hand or with
23:31
a computer without actual AI this would
23:33
probably take me days or weeks to design
23:37
so it's just leveling the playing field
23:40
for people who don't have a creative
23:42
bone in their body like myself so I hope
23:45
you guys actually appreciated this video
23:47
we were just trying out something new we
23:48
just want to kind of inspire you guys to
23:51
design your own car you don't have to go
23:53
with the same 32 Ford as a hot rod you
23:56
can fabricate your own you can design
23:58
your own and see what you like from it
24:00
and then build a wire form or a buck and
24:03
and then make the
24:04
body so that's it for this today's
24:08
Thanksgiving so I hope you all have a
24:10
Happy Thanksgiving yeah if you got any
24:12
questions leave them in the comments
24:13
below we're going to put all the links
24:15
to every AI in there so you don't have
24:18
to do any searches or anything and I'll
24:21
try and leave you
24:23
instructions that's it I'm Mark I hope
