Turning sofas into sculptures

On exactly.ai, if you can find the right photographs, you can create sculptures out of anything. What would happen if we turned sofas into sculptures?

The starting point is simple. Prepare some images of simple sofas–they could be multi-coloured, have different textures–anything up to your preference. Then rain them as a model, generate them with AI, and let your imagination run wild. See where the exploration with AI could take you. Here's how to turn simple sofas into figurines, step by step.

How to start?

1. Press the "Submit artwork" button on this page.

2. First, choose minimalist photos of sofas, because their shape and texture offer intriguing possibilities.

3. Try to set a stricter rule in your prompts, for example "studio photo of gray plush figure”. All the generations based on this prompt shared a similar style. Depending on the adjectives combined – like fat, strong, shy, running, realistic, wrinkly – this could guide the output’s characteristics. This shaped distinct personalities for the figurines, and the models began to exhibit these traits.

4. Next, try to push the model further by adding close-up details with this prompt: "Studio photo of plush square strong fat gray figure, close-up view, face portrait".

This adjustment would lead to even more refined results, capturing detailed facial features and creating these portraits.

5. Keep experimenting with different prompts to generate different results!

6. Submit the generated images to this competition page–you can submit as many models and images as you like!
