Structure Control

In the rapidly evolving world of AI image generation, multimodal controls stand out as a cornerstone for creators looking to harness technology to enhance their artistic vision. These controls integrate different modes of input—text, images, and direct manipulation—to refine the output of AI generators. Among these, structure control is a pivotal feature, particularly in the domain of precise composition and detail replication.

‍

Structure control is an advanced feature designed to meticulously replicate the semantic details and overall composition of an input image. In the backend, we compute structure as depth using a neural network. This capability is not about copying an image but about understanding and preserving its underlying structure—the arrangement of elements, the interaction of shapes, and the spatial distribution within the image. Such a feature is invaluable for artists and designers who wish to maintain the integrity of the original composition while infusing new elements or stylistic changes.

Getting Started with Structure Control

To begin using structure control, users should select an image that they would like to use and upload it through the NEX toolbar, then select the image and set it as ‘Structure Image’.

While structure control is powerful, it requires careful consideration of the input image. Here are a few tips:

Choose Clear, Well-Defined Images: The clearer the structural elements in the input image, the better the AI can replicate them.
‍Mind the Complexity: Overly complex images might result in muddy or confused outputs. Simplicity often leads to more coherent results.

Use Case Example

After you've explored the functionalities of structure control, consider a designer who uses an iconic cityscape as the structure for a futuristic redesign. By applying structure control, they can maintain the original cityscape’s layout while transforming its buildings into futuristic structures, effectively merging past and future without losing the essence of the composition.

Looking Ahead

Structure control is just the tip of the iceberg. As we continue to refine these tools, the potential for AI in creative fields becomes even more boundless. Stay tuned for more insights and tutorials on using other multimodal controls to fully unleash your creativity with AI image generation.

By harnessing tools like structure control, artists and creators are equipped to push the boundaries of traditional and digital art forms, opening up a new realm of possibilities for innovation and expression in the AI age.
