AI Object Compositing/Generation

Hi Everybody,

 

I've been working all weekend on a project where I'm taking 4 products and putting them in-scene through the use of AI gen tools, most notably Midjourney and Ideogram. It's been quite the rubix cube, but I'm making good strides getting objects to arrange the way I need for in-scene reference prior to final super imposition. 

 

The final scenario is the trickiest as I have a zippo-style lighter I'm trying to place onto a counter arranged with a couple other elements, thus making this quite the crap shoot. I landed a generation where the elements  are staged pretty darn well and I'm going to go with it.

 

However, the dang lighter won't close. I'm trying to tell this thing to do it and it won't. And in the other hand I have this marvelous 3D reference I made in Cinema 4D, that's not a 'pro' 3D object but it's solid enough. I wish I could just Photoshop reference it in to this spot. 

 

I know Photoshop has contextual fill, and it's simply amazing, but wanted to ask if there's anything now or on the horizon to for lack of better wording "...suggestively image insert". Like have a product and need it a particuar spot/angle with roughly the same lighting? ...done.


Any suggestions of info appreciated. Thanks!

We might have what you need or a close option to get the result you desire. Please try the Substance 3D Viewer (beta) plugin for Photoshop (beta): https://adobe.ly/4hgFBl2

Hey @Xander36210402r7ns, you might also check at Project Neo's "scene-to-image" feature... for this or a future similar project:

I was able to get 2 of the 4 images in my project done using Ideogram, but it can't figure out matches. If Adobe had a solution where I could take a 3D refernce and put it comfortably (lighting, positioining, etc.) in a scene that would be a real boon. I'm not looking to take a 3D/reference and put it into something imaginary though, I'm looking to put into an existing scene. 

Attached is an example of what I mean (all of this is in the interest of product photogrpahy by the way). I used C4D to make a lighter, use that lighter as a reference for Ideogram. It placed it well, got one that I can repurpose the labels in Photoshop, but matches (like fingers) it's having trouble. 

 

So if I could take a real (or close to) pack of matches and a main (point B) image and have a program be able to transpose that image into the scene. That would be the answer.

 

My computer is old as the hills so I can't open up Project Neo, but perhaps you can tell me if this is what Neo could provide of if it's still more of a... ..."one node camera vs a two node camera" - vague After Effects reference. 

Thanks cmurphpdx for the mention
