I haven't played with the random image generator recently but I asked ChatGPT to help me visualize rear spring options.

It's struggling, and it heavily meters the work it does for free, but it's getting better. It's honestly amazing to interact in a conversation and have the typed instructions translated into an image.

I fed it this "as-bought" image from 22 yrs ago. The car has "settled" original springs, basically a "stock" stance:



Here's the "what if?", or "I wish!" translation. It is far from perfect, but good enough for what I wanted to see:



And here's an attempt to raise the rear by about an inch over stock. This took about 6 attempts over 2 days but it's the best so far. As you can see, it's having a hard time raising the rear without raising the front:

Ah using this to see paint jobs on your car might be a really helpful use. I paid a guy on Fiverr to do this but I can see now there's endless tweaking potential until you find the one you like from another car.

It's far from a miracle. A human with skills and modern software could do this a lot better. I think that's obvious. I value seeing real photos of real cars with real parts a lot more.

The interesting thing about it for me is interacting with the software like it was a text message with another person. Only this is just a program translating a written description into an image. Good images?, no... but it's getting better.

Just did this on OpenArt, took 34 seconds to process my 2 pictures I sent the same guy on Fiverr, this program crushed him.

1991 Talon
2016 GTR Deep Blue Pearl

After seeing the pictures I'm leaning all blue bottom half and black upper half. These pictures help see if I should keep the ground effects body color or different like the factory.
