Product Design with AI Part 1: Design Research

Can you design a product start to finish with just AI? How good is AI these days? Find out with me as I try to explore if it's possible to design a product completely using AI.
In this second video, take a look at if it is possible to come up with concepts & visuals for products using AI and what are the best tools to do it. I look at generating moodboards and generating images using text to image generators, sketch to image generators and trained AI models.
Will it work or will it be a failure? Who knows!

Industrial Design is so much more than creating a concept rendering. There are so many more steps involved that require knowledge, empathy, and usability. These are cool tools, but this doesnt create the actual product, just a concept to build off. My opinion, it equals about 5% of the total process to bring a product to market.

[@somegraythings]

That’s true!

[@eldadesign]

True

[@krnxemb]

nice demo - subscribing from today! Hey, what is the app you are using to compile all the images on? kind of late to the party but trying to catch up on using AI as design assistant.

[@xenoliving3951]

Auto thumbs up for me. I just really love how much I learn from this channel. The info is very clear, well presented, and gets me to think and examine my own process.

[@somegraythings]

Thanks! nice of you to say

[@davideanzalone_design]

great content here! really enjoying your process! and...thanks for the tag, Gray!

[@somegraythings]

Great work!

[@simvag]

I enjoyed this video, it was quite informative. Can't wait for the other parts!

[@somegraythings]

Thanks for watching

[5:38] The sketch to image and line to image control net feature works really well for this stage of the design process. You could've grabbed your sketch from the previous section, then use the text prompt to specify the 70's design style, colour palette, matt finish etc. Training your own model is a lot of work and really just there to cut down the prompting for when you want to make loads of a very similar image. The images shown in [5:50] are not similar enough for the AI to know enough about what the AI should look like. I trained a model for some fashion design images and I had the subject and background the same for every image, so for my prompt I just change what the model is wearing and it works well in that way.

it’s getting good however to add a product in your portfolio (say the garden speaker) you’d require a variety of shots and videos (closeups, different materials, interior, relevant animations such as sound bouncing/amplification etc) until this gets a proper workflow/pipeline i’d primarily use this as an inspiration for high quality blender models

[@somegraythings]

Yes I believe you are right. Also, getting an image of something is really just the start of designing. There is a lot of work between images and real products. Will try to address this in future videos

[@Mailyfe]

So new to this. Idk which one is suitable since there is so many unique features. Can you tell me which ai app will be great for product generator? For example: I have two photo. The first one I like the design on a pair of jordan and the second photo I also like the design on the Nike shoe and I want ai to mix them two photo together to create me the product/ shoe without looking like the similar/actual product? I hope that makes sense 😖 is there an AI app to upload photos and mix them to generate a product design?

[@shakibaomidisahneh]

Special thanks to u for useful information

[@randomstuffz365]

Pls tell full in detail process of entire design workflow with the tools you use pls !!!!

[@somegraythings]

I saw that in another comment, maybe in a future video!

[@peeknic]

Thanks for the video. Very well produced. What is that microphone you are using?

[@somegraythings]

That is the Babbl USB microphone I designed for Babbl

[@peeknic]

Very good job, my dear colleague! :)

[@gregakokelj4267]

Hi Which computer should I buy to use this AI program and to use lumiere 3D? I would appreciate…

[@somegraythings]

I’m the wrong person to ask, I usually just buy standard hardware

[@sm1tsu]

What is the font when you showing the prompts?

[@somegraythings]

I had to go back into Premier and see what I used. Noto Sans.

[@sm1tsu]

@@somegraythings oh thank you so much man

[@user-jb9gl7ju2e]

loved your video! Deefinitely gave me some new AI to look at! have you used adobe firefly yet?

[@somegraythings]

Not really, but it’s on the ToDo list. I’ve used photoshops auto-generate feature, which is quite nice as i don’t have to change any workflow :)

[@scottmayson]

Which iPad presentation tool are you using? Nice video. excellent.

[@somegraythings]

Figma. I can recommend

[@dilanbk7267]

please keep making videosssssss

[@somegraythings]

But who would watch the Netflix if I am busy making videos?

[@The8c9]

So the only thing which makes it a garden speaker is the green color? Images are all awesome but the concept is a little hmmm... basic? What about rain etc? I mean you could have ask for a garden speaker with a roof? You address it in the last minutes but still i would have expect faster development of such a concept since you don't have to spent time on sketching? Just thouhgts...

[@somegraythings]

True! I kind of just wanted to play dumb and let the computer do the work. I had some ideas for the design but I mostly wanted to see what AI would come up with. This was more of a "Let AI design a speaker" rather than "I design a speaker and am supported by AI".

[@Mert27777]

I really hope it doesnt effect in a bad way on the industry for us

[@GabrielAltenhofen]

I'll make sure I never try a Gas Station Sushi, thanks for the hint!

[@somegraythings]

No risk, no reward!

[@aar5362]

had to turn the volume up to max, this viedeo is realy quiet.

[@somegraythings]

Thanks for pointing that out. It’s all a learning process for me

[@user-xw2uh5vg4g]

Ai for changing image to video

[@somegraythings]

Yeah, I've seen DesignersVane doing this a lot, maybe I should explore more

[@ayub4638]

Where is 2023 trends

[@nathanduderstadt9945]

Part of me thinks this *is* 2023 trends

[@somegraythings]

Great question!

[@todea]

@@somegraythingsgreat question, next question 🤣

[@brytonkalyi277]

- I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God's Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as faith and patience. We should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray... God bless you as you share this message to others.

@@somegraythings - Good Morning, God bless you for your reply. Christianity is not a religion but a Love relationship. It's all about I love God and I love others. Matthew 5:13 says, "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men." A soul can only be purified while in the body (while on Earth) but after death anything unpurified (unclean) cannot enter Heaven Gates. No one in his right mind can risk or even bare to put anything rotten into his live body nor put the rotten thing closer to the those which are not rotten. Sin makes the soul unclean but we can ask God to forgive us (to cleanse us) by the blood of His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ which He shed here on Earth. Meditation in the Word of God is a visit to God because God is in His Word. We know God through His Word because the Word He speaks represent His heart's desires. Meditation is a thing of the heart not a thinking process. Let the Word prevail over thinking process. Begin to meditate on this prayer day and night (in all that you do), "Lord take more of me and give me more of you. Give me more of your holiness, faithfulness, obedience, self-control, purity, humility, love, goodness, kindness, forgiveness, wisdom, understanding, calmness, perseverance... Make me a channel of shinning light where there darkness, a channel of pardon where there is injury, a channel of love where there is hatred, a channel of humility where there is pride..." The Word of God becomes a part of us by meditation, not by saying words but spirit prayer (prayer from the heart). When the Word becomes a part of you, it will by its very nature influence your conduct and behavior. Glory and honour be to God our Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our Helper the Holy Spirit. Thank you again for your time.
