Are you interested in leveraging AI technology to produce highly realistic architectural visualizations fast and easy? Just recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has been reshaping the field of architecture, especially in the realm of creating architectural visualizations. Making concept or mood images are easier than ever. One AI tool that has gained popularity among architects and designers is Midjourney.

In this article, we'll explore how you can use these art generators, skip the conventional process of going through complex rendering techniques, and add efficiency in your design workflow.

1. Understanding AI Art Generators

   • AI art generators, like Midjourney, utilize advanced algorithms to generate realistic images based on the given prompts. These tools can analyze architectural designs and create photorealistic renderings and animations in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional methods.

2. Tips for Using AI Art Generators in Architectural Visualization

   • Start with a simple sketch or a screenshot of your 3d massing model.

     • Before using an AI art generator, ensure that you have a sketch prepared for uploading or a screenshot of your 3D model of your design. This will serve as the foundation for the AI to generate realistic renderings that can be used for your mood boards or initial concept designs.

   • Experiment with Different Styles

     • AI art generators like Midjourney offer a variety of rendering styles to choose from. Experiment with different styles to find the one that best suits your design concept and vision. It is important to know what specific prompts to use to achieve the look and style you’re looking for.

   • Refine the Results

     • While AI art generators can produce impressive results, they may not always be perfect. One of the things that Midjourney is currently inconsistent in generating is text images, but it’s not the end of the world for us. We can take it into another software like Photoshop or Procreate to refine and make adjustments as needed to achieve the desired outcome.

   • Combine AI with Traditional Rendering Techniques

     • AI art generators should be viewed as a complement to traditional rendering techniques and not as a replacement. Consider incorporating AI-generated elements into your traditional renderings to enhance the overall quality and realism. These AI tools are not here to replace us, but the person who uses them will.

   • Tell a Compelling Story

     • Regardless of the tools you use, storytelling is key to creating compelling architectural visualizations. Use AI-generated renderings to help convey the narrative behind your design and evoke an emotional response from your audience.
