Re: Show HN: ML enabled creative tools for artists and designers
#2My co-founders and I have spent the last few months building Vizcom.
Artist and Designers have many ideas, but limited time and skills to realize their ideas. Our vision is to build ML tools that shorten the distance from having an idea and bringing it to life.
Currently, we have 2 products - generator and SKR. SKR automatically renders 2d sketches. Generator generates abstract images meant to spark creativity.
Any and all feedback is appreciated!

#3It looks like a decent sketch enhancement tool. I would suggest to focus on that so that you could find your first customers in realistic amounts of time.

#4It looks cool but isn't working well, I signed up for a free trial and can't get it to export in 4k without errors.

Ah good catch! We just launched 4k exports so theres still a couple bumps. Fixed this. Had to extend the timeout in our gunicorn server

Great insight. S2R is definitely the breadwinner. We have lots of cool ideas for generator such as cross breading images together and adding sliders to explore the GAN space.
We are also currently exploring other tool ideas. Lots of possibilities!

#7This is very cool, I'm curious if you can give some details of the best use case you've seen?
We're developing hardware prototypes with our industrial designers, and I get 3D CAD designs from them. They can take the time to turn the CAD into visual design, but that takes time. Would this be a good tool for them to take the CAD, take a photo, and create demonstrations for how the product would look in the real world?
Curious if that's a realistic direction, and how else you see it being used. Nice work.

Hello one of the co-founders here . I have a background in industrial design and am very aware of the process. So currently this is focused on the actual 2D design & development process that creatives go through when coming up with their ideas. Normally they would spend hours in photoshop trying to visualize their 2D sketches to 3D modelers who then build them but with our software we're trying to completely automate that part.
A natural evolution of this I feel like would be going from 2D sketches and synthetically reconstructing them in 3D which would accelerate the entire design process as a whole . Something we're working on now.
As of now we function in 2D ideation phase of art & design. I hope this answers some of your thoughts and questions . Thanks for the comment.

#9Damn, those sword examples on the front page look like ass. (https://www.vizcom.co/static/media/weapons.143795cb.png)
I suspect half the use case of this is "this does a quick and dirty shading that gets you 75% of the way there" but man, I would paint over everything about those sword examples.

I'm very interested in converting images to 3d models. Really cool tech that feels like it's nearly there.
Have you by chance seen any of the work Facebook has been doing related to the 2d to 3d conversions?

In an ideal world (for me) the output would be an .fbx file that could be uploaded directly into blender or unreal engine.
