I road tested Vizcom’s latest AI features called ‘Modify’ and ‘Animate’. This post is dedicated to showing what it can do. To use it, you upload an image in Vizcom.ai to the Workbench view. Find the ‘Modify’ block by dragging on the plus icon from the starting image. Select which type of modification you want to go with such as: Render, Animate or Modify. For this post, I focused on the Beta versions of Modify and Animate since they’re the latest upgrades to all Vizcom accounts including the free one.
To test the Modify feature, I began this series with a new version of my Autonomous Cadillac Concept. In the Modify prompt, I stated that I wanted a person added to my sketch. The AI added a woman appropriately dressed to pose with a futuristic car. She was scaled correctly relative to the car. Next, I selected this new image in Workbench, then chose Animate to create an AI video. The video was good and comparable to other AI video models. I generated videos in ChatGPT Sora and Runway ML with the same image for comparison (the first post video starts with Vizcom Animate followed by Runway then Sora). Runway was the smoothest and was quick to understood my prompt. Sora was all over the place trying really hard to create something dramatic. With repeated tries, I finally got a stunning result. I Photoshopped a still image from the video which became the featured image. I put that image back into Runway resulting in a very polished and dramatic video.
I generated a number of orthographic views in Modify from my original 3/4 view rendering. I thought the side view with the callouts was a unique interpretation of my sketch.
I look forward to using and learning more tricks from Vizcom’s Modify tool. AI is constantly evolving and changing for the better. I can see a big improvement from my first post a year and a half ago which was the very best I could do with AI at the time.
