Use AI to design an adorable French village

 

How to Create a City or Village with AI

Creating a city or village with AI can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Whether you’re reimagining your hometown or designing a completely new place, AI tools can help bring your vision to life. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started, along with some useful links to credible websites. So far in this blog, we explored re-imagining a couple locations in Elma that are now gone, Grahams Theatre and Betty's Kitchen. Then we saw images of Haussmannian AI designed homes for two and three story homes in Elma Washington, and we even imagined the ways locals could decorate their homes.

Step 1: Choose Your AI Tool

First, you’ll need to select an AI tool that can generate images based on text prompts. Some popular options include:

• DALL-E 2 by OpenAI
• MidJourney
• Stable Diffusion

Step 2: Define Your Vision

Before you start generating images, it’s essential to have a clear vision of what you want to create. For example, if you’re reimagining Elma as a cute French village, consider the architectural styles, time periods, and specific elements you want to include.

Step 3: Write Effective Prompts

Writing effective prompts is crucial for getting the desired results. Here are some tips:

1. Be Specific: Include details about the architectural style, time period, and location. For example, “1700s-1930s French village buildings.”
2. Use Descriptive Language: Describe the elements you want to see, such as “oeil de boeuf windows,” “baroque roofs,” and “French village outdoor spaces.”
3. Incorporate Historical and Cultural References: Mention any historical or cultural elements that are important to your vision.

Example Prompts

• “Charming 1700s French village with baroque roofs and oeil de boeuf windows in Greys Harbor.”
• “1930s French village street with outdoor cafes and cobblestone roads.”

Step 4: Generate and Refine Images

Use your chosen AI tool to generate images based on your prompts. Review the results and refine your prompts as needed to achieve the desired look.

Step 5: Add Finishing Touches

Once you have your images, you can use photo editing software to add any finishing touches or make adjustments.
