Adobe Firefly

Adobe entered the AI space in full swing with the Beta release of Adobe Firefly. Launched in Adobe Max after months of speculation & rumours. The model is trained in Adobe stocks library and provides good results in portrait photography and images including people.

+1,716,800,000 options to try, styles, materials, color, lighting, composition... with a single prompt. Start generating images in Firefly with your Adobe subscription or using their generous Free tier.

Another AI tool, another Discord! With Pika you can generate 3 seconds animations. Starting from text or text combined with image. The results are close to what Runway is offering. But Pika gives you more flexibility to control the camera & motion of your creations. Best of all, Pika is in Beta and like peace is free!

P.S. If you think the 3-second limit is not long enough and learning Pika could be hard... Check out this video tutorial that will peace that thought out! 

Luma Labs: Genie

Text-to-3D is here to stay! We already spoke in #4 about LumaLabs and their mobile app that generates 3D models from real-life objects. Luma is back with more and launched a fresh new text-to-3D AI generator in Discord: Genie.

Dream of 3D models using text through Genie’s Discord. Once you have finished your 3D masterpiece then… keep going! Animate your model using Adobe Mixamo as in this inspiring example.
