Adobe Firefly V3: A Complete 3D Tutorial

[@willpatersondesign]

Hope you enjoyed the video!

[@LeviJonMeyer]

Honestly, one of your best👏🏻

[@limitedhangoutlive]

Hey dude, you're looking like you're gaining a bit of weight. As someone who just went through something very similar recently, and I recently lost my best friend in February due to it (not to say you're that bad or anything), I urge you to bite the bullet and work on it. If I can do it, you can too.

[@PhantomHarlock78]

This is great for webdesign and online ads because most of time we work with zero budget for this kinda of art and have to use sobpar options in image banks. This give the art director way more input than just search in those dreadful image banks.

[@kesselhut]

I had the same problems / issues recreating these type of letters. When using a .png i get the same result as the first prompt, but when using a .jpg the job gets done. Make sure the reference image for the composition is large enough and there is some whitespace around your artwork. Thanks for the inspiration

[@martinasterlini3112]

thank you so much!! Your comment helped me a lot to have my work finally done !

@willpatersondesign im not sure if the change from Structure to Composition on adobe's part is to blame but the results im getting are not anything like this. It just takes my black and white jpeg and overlays it on to the ball reference photo. Are you workin on an updated tutorial? Would love to be able to implement this workflow

[@Imi619]

I don't know why , but I tried doing this many many times and it doesn't work at all so I thought it doesn't understand what I want to do , so I did this exact same "a" and slime ball and it didn't work either , it just put the "a" in front of the ball , anyone know why this happens ?

try without the ball word.

I have tried to replicate what you've done. Somehow it didn't work. I saw you were still using the "green slime ball ...." prompt, and I have moved the visual intensity slider to the least and reference strength to maximum, and I used black M letter with the same proportion, the result was still a ball.

It doesn't replace the graphic designer (until it's made so simple that our clients can use it themselves don't forget) but what about all the professional photographers, lettering artists and 3d artists who's work was used as learning models to teach these AI engines to do what we want? What about their careers? Whether you like it or not it's coming for us!

[@reuterss306]

@@NomadicSims If you are a graphic designer who can be completely replaced by AI, you are a pretty bad graphic designer tbh. Please link the video you mentioned, because I am working in graphic design for many years and AI is not even close to touch my job. All it does is speeding up my workflow, but its still years or decades away to do what a real human is capable of. Until then we got enough time to adapt and find our niche. Even though AI is one if not THE biggest thing in human history ever, it is normal that jobs get replaced (industrial evolution etc etc). The positives that AI brings outweighs the negative a LOT, if people learn how to use it correctly.

Fab video and this is exactly what I have been playing with this week. I absolutely love it! I would add one more step though.

Taking sketches into Firefly and creating 3D characters is also amazing. Just oodles of fun!

[@gregbarry7614]

I like this approach to using ai. Not an outright replacement for more advanced tools with more control. Like any other tool, it depends on the restraint of the artist. You "Could" design everything 100% with ai but it's not wise in the long run. I do disagree with words like "realistic" and "excitement" being used to sell this tho. On further inspection the images still have an uncanny-valley feeling, and it's not as if it makes the artwork "Better". Wish people trying to sell ai would just calm down a bit.

@@Leadership_matters Or, they actually won't and there'll be a plethora of derivative guff by simply voice-prompting "Can you make an image of that looks like ." Having had the "Can we just make it like the whatever…" 'brief', or its current trend equivalent, I think that perhaps 80 percent plus of clients may be happily served by an AI which facilitates that. There's so much value in being able to generate assets with minimal friction; and an 'AI art-director' to bring some flair and unity is surely but moments away. All great in one sense, but on aggregate making it ever hard for things to achieve cut through perhap? Reminds me of something a great photographer once said: "There's nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy idea.' Ansel Adams
