If the river was made of whiskey and I was a duck...I'd swim to the bottom and never come up!

Now the river ain't whiskey And I ain't a duck I play jack a diamonds And trust to luck

If the ocean was all beer

I would've been a nice dolphin

If the ocean was all vodka

I would've been a submarine...

What does generative mean?

flockaroo OP t1_it8iyrg wrote

hmm, well, basically it means that its completely programmed ...or made out of math ...so to say.

Agarest t1_it8jqio wrote

What tools did you use to make it?

flockaroo OP t1_it8l9pt wrote

well its a self-programmed opengl application, so just text editor and a compiler.

AI from the sounds of it. Anyone can be an artist these days.

Can you get deeper in that?

I'm really curious

flockaroo OP t1_it8plfl wrote

hmm ok, why not, let me try... its basically "ray tracing/ray marching/path tracing": first i'm defining the glass and the whiskey surfaces as mathematical functions (actually distance appoximation functions). then for each pixel i step from eye position into the direction of the pixel into scene until i hit a surface. on a surface with a certain probability (fresnel equations) the viewing ray gets reflected/refracted from the surface and walks along. this is repeated until the ray hits a light source. and this is then repeated for all pixels and several times util we have a properly lighted scene...

What's fascinating is how you modeled the whiskey waves... it even has foam ! What mathematical function looks like waves ? Not the ones I studied at school x)

flockaroo OP t1_ita5lku wrote

the functions are just the ones from school, just many of them summed up and in different scales ;-)

oh, and the foam is actually an illusion. in thin layers (like in the wave crowns) the light gets reflected/refracted multiple times in the same region, which leads to a more random light diffusion in those regions. i was surprised myself by that effect! ...that doesn't mean real waves cannot have foam additionally ;-)

Hmm, an Islay I'd imagine.

I see your Laphroaig and raise you an Ardbeg

Nice pic. Kind of brings to mind the German saying "Ein Sturm im Wasserglas" (A storm in a glass of water), which is used if an event/problem/thing ends up way smaller than predicted/feared.

hah, yes that was actually my working title, but in the end i decided going for whisky ;-)

I usually dislike a lot of the stuff here because it feels cheap(my taste of art is my own) and I actually really enjoy this. The color pallet and the emphasis on the motion inside the cup but still outside is some very powerful imagery for me.

Wtf. Put the ocean back you madlad!

microthrower t1_itazw8n wrote

Viewing this, I saw the noise patterns and thought it looked like a render, and then was wondering how AI generated images would make such perfect reflections underneath the glass.

Being raymarch/raytrace made a lot more sense. What kind of timeframe does a single render of this take? Is this like a one minute or one hour kind of thing?

flockaroo OP t1_itbd4ku wrote

in this size and quality it was about 3 to 5 seconds (on a good GPU though - GTX3070) but the longer you wait the less grain.

I was about to comment on the beautiful lighting, makes perfect sense seeing the raytracing comment. I'm always amazed at using stuff like programming to create artwork like this. Great job!

That better be Jefferson's Ocean Whiskey, specifically.

Mod here. OP's own statement on what "generative" means:

> ... its basically "ray tracing/ray marching/path tracing": first i'm defining the glass and the whiskey surfaces as mathematical functions (actually distance appoximation functions). then for each pixel i step from eye position into the direction of the pixel into scene until i hit a surface. on a surface with a certain probability (fresnel equations) the viewing ray gets reflected/refracted from the surface and walks along. this is repeated until the ray hits a light source. and this is then repeated for all pixels and several times util we have a properly lighted scene...

The easy way to defuse suspicions in cases like this is to show a post history of similar content, which OP has. So I'm going to assume that

  1. This is not "AI", it's a mathematical render to create a particular image, and
  2. OP wrote or at least contributed to the software, so it's fine.

For those taking notes, this is how you do it. For those claiming to have written their own AI, show proof or GTFO.
