AI Drawings

As you have heard, AI drawing is a trend now, and there are many applications that can generate the images for free.

Stable Diffusion is one of the most famous Deep Learning models which brought everyone’s attention.
And many of the recent applications are using this model or branch of this model.

One of the issue of generating drawing is the process requires high-spec PC (GPU)

However, as an interior designer or architect, you may have considerably high-spec PC.

I will show you examples of AI drawings for Interior Designers & Architects using Mac OS.

If you are using Windows, I highly recommend to use AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion Web UI

As of now, I think this application has the most advanced functions comparing to other applications. And yes, this is for free. Please check the instruction in the page.

Stable Diffusion with Mac OS

As of now, there are not many options to use Stable Diffusion with Mac OS. Apple is now trying to solve this issue, so there will be more application soon, but meanwhile, I highly recommend DiffusionBee.

You can start AI drawings without any complicated set-up with this application!

Please note that the model is large file, so that you need to download a few GB files at first.

Example of Interior Design by Diffusion Bee

Once you open Diffusion Bee, you will see several tabs. Let’s use “Text to Image“, which is the basic function of AI drawing.

You input the text of what you want to generate, and also input the Styles in order to achieve what you want.

Most of the case, you probably wants to have the realistic rendering of restaurant, residence, or hotel.

Here is the example:

Interior Design, Restaurant, Italian, Modern, Stone, Wood, Cinematic, 3D Render, Cycles Render, Detailed Render, Environment Design, Intricate Environment, Octane Render, Glass Caustics, Global Illumination, Beautiful Lighting, Dynamic Lighting, HD, Studio Lighting

By clocking the Option, you can adjust some setting. If you just start using, you may just want to adjust the Number of Image to be generated.

Okay, here is the result of generating 20 images with this text. It only took me 5-8 minutes around.

*Basically the images generated by AI can be used anywhere without limitation, but AI will not guarantee the images may or may not have copy-right issue.

Upgrading the Images

The images generated in basic setting is 512×512. You can upscale the image (x4) by just clicking Upscaling Image

So 512x512px image can be upscaled to 2048 x 2048px, which is good enough.

If you wants more detailed image, let’s adjust the steps. I’ve tried 50 steps for 10images. It took me 15minutes around.

Here is the images generated.

How you can use for your work?

Now you think how you can use these images for your work?

I think you can consider…

• Brain Storming
• Very initial images to confirm the direction
• Reference Image when you need “original” image

Conclusion

AI will not be able to generate the design for you.

You will consider so many different elements when you design for your client – theme, material, cost, experience, culture, turn-over, comfort, beauty, route, place, country etc.

But you might be able to use AI in order to upgrade your work.
