  Scotch whisky brand Johnnie Walker’s premium brewed Johnnie Walker Blue Label whisky has joined forces with the world-renowned designer, Porsche Design Studio, to launch a new design Blue Label Rare and Limited Collection.

  This year is the second year that the two industry leaders have joined forces.

25 BMW 3 Series real cars unveiled, the perfect combination of sports genes and technological sense

In August, BMW 3 Series sold only 7,921 units, less than Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4L, and in order to enhance competitiveness, 25 BMW 3 Series came into being. As a mid-term model, the new car will be adjusted for the details of the exterior and interior, and the configuration will also be upgraded. It is expected to launch 325i M sports package, 325Li M sports package, 330i M sports night package, 330Li exclusive M sports night package, a total of 5 models.

From the actual car picture, the design of the 25 BMW 3 Series models is basically the same as that of the current model. However, the front "double kidney" air intake grille will be replaced with a blackened straight waterfall structure, and LED light strips will be added to outline, giving people a more sporty and technological feeling. Both sides continue to be equipped with sharp-shaped headlight sets, supplemented by double "L" shaped daytime running lights, and with the front encirclement blessed by the sports kit, the sense of battle is ready to come out.

The side of the body continues to have a sporty style, coupled with the upturned "ducktail" at the tail and the exaggerated blackened diffuser, which further enhances the performance of the whole car. The introduction of this series of exterior designs not only enhances the visual impact of the 25 BMW 3 Series, but also shows BMW’s innovation and intention in design.

The interior also continues the design language of the current model. The encircling cockpit is equipped with a floating curved dual screen, and combined with the HUD head-up display, it creates an immersive and technological driving atmosphere, and the 8.5th generation operating system is newly upgraded. The introduction of this series of interior designs and intelligent configurations not only enhances the driving safety and convenience of the 25 BMW 3 Series, but also provides consumers with a more intelligent and convenient driving experience, demonstrating BMW’s sense of technology and luxury in interior design.

As for power, the 320 model (2.0T low-power engine) will be cancelled for the 25 BMW 3 Series models, and the 325 and 330 models will continue to be equipped with 2.0T medium/high-power engines, with a maximum power of 135kW (184 horsepower) and 180kW (245 horsepower) respectively. The transmission system is matched with an 8AT gearbox, and the whole series is rear-drive. This series of power configuration choices not only meets consumers’ high requirements for luxury car power performance, but also demonstrates the technological innovation and breakthroughs of the 25 BMW 3 Series models.

Write at the end

As a mid-term model, the 25 BMW 3 Series not only shows its unique advantages in appearance design, interior design, intelligent configuration and power configuration, but also shows its market competitiveness in market positioning and consumer expectations. It is expected that the 25 BMW 3 Series will be officially launched in the near future, which is undoubtedly a worthy choice for consumers who pursue design sense, power performance and high-quality luxury cars. The launch of the 25 BMW 3 Series not only enriches the product line of the BMW brand, providing consumers with more high-quality choices, but also demonstrates its technical strength and market competitiveness in the field of luxury cars.

Zhao Liying Xin Zhilei combined to shoot a new film, these double-screen scenes are so beautiful!


1905 movie network feature X, what kind of sparks will collide?A few days ago, a new film starring Zhao Liying and Xin Zhilei was officially announced. The film was adapted from Zhang Yueran’s novel "Big Qiao Xiao Qiao". Zhao Liying played Qiao Yan and Xin Zhilei played Qiao Yan’s sister.


The film will tell the story of Qiao Yan, who grew up in a border town and became a famous actress after years of hard work. With an anonymous blackmail message and the sudden appearance of her sister who has been missing for many years and has returned from Myanmar, the seemingly coincidental hidden behind the bigger crisis.



"It’s a film that’s very close to my personal background, and it’s my most commercially rewarding film to date," said the Burmese-born director, who is directing his first film in mainland China. "It’s very suspenseful, shot in Mandarin, but it’s not aimed at Chinese audiences, and foreign audiences won’t have any problems watching it."


Previously, Zhao Deyin’s film was a frequent visitor to international film festivals and was shortlisted for a focus section of the Cannes Film Festival. Presumably, after the film is completed, it will also strive to appear at international film festivals and compete for awards.



After "Qiao Yan’s Mind" was exposed, the biggest focus and discussion was on Zhao Liying and Xin Zhilei, the two "85 flowers". This year, they both ushered in new opportunities in their careers and had different breakthroughs in their performances.


Zhao Liying has won audience recognition for her TV drama masterpieces such as "Do you know if you should be green, fat, red and thin" and "The Wind Blows Half Summer", and has recently begun to make efforts in the field of film.


She teamed up with Ms. Zhao to challenge her role as a hearing-impaired character, whom Ms. Zhang described as a lever in the story and difficult to play, and praised Ms. Zhao for her surprise performance, "breaking through my own ceiling and not being the Zhao Liying of the past."



Xin Zhilei blossomed in the drama and the synthesis. She starred in the first TV drama, which was popular on the screen. Wang Jiawei admired Xin Zhilei’s chivalrous performance in the drama, so he chose her. Xin Zhilei also played Li Li, the owner of Zhizhen Garden, who was full of charm and cold and mysterious in the play.


At the same time, in the travel variety "Flowers and Youth · Silk Road Season", Xin Zhilei’s sincere, straightforward and lovely personality is truly depicted, which is in great contrast with her usual character image and has won the love of a large number of audiences.



Therefore, we are even more looking forward to the "sister" combination of Zhao Liying and Xin Zhilei to bloom even more brilliance in "Qiao Yan’s Heart".


This expectation is also based on the fact that "Qiao Yan’s Heart" is a "double female lead" movie that has not been seen in a long time. "Double female lead" means that the story is mainly based on two female characters who complement each other and drive the plot together.


In the Chinese "double heroine" movies, classic masterpieces such as "Painted Skin" were born. In the past decade, films such as "Carnival" have also entered the audience’s field of vision.



The "double female lead" mode can bring a visual aesthetic temperament of double beauty to a movie. The independent and dependent relationship between women gives the expression effect of the female story on the screen 1 + 1 is greater than 2. At a time when female themes are getting more and more attention, the expressive value and market potential of "double female lead" movies are endless.


Screen twins, mutual achievement


Movies with two heroines are always full of sparks.This kind of spark is the beauty that sets off each other between women, the entanglement of friendship, struggle, dependence, and resistance between characters, and it is also between actresses who enhance their acting skills through mutual exchange, jointly achieve masterpieces and famous scenes, or win the award of being a movie queen.



It is really unforgettable to share the stage with "The Voice". The spies they played cherished each other and sacrificed themselves. One of the 13-minute-long opposite scenes, the two were full of emotions, and they performed in one go. It was enjoyable, and the audience also enjoyed it.


"In the play, they are like two queens who will decide everything in the future," the director described. "These 13 minutes are the peak of Li Bingbing’s acting so far." The director also praised, "In these 13 minutes, I didn’t see the acting, I saw two real characters."


Zhou Xun once said that he and Li Bingbing were rigorous and casual, and their personalities were completely opposite. In fact, this complementarity greatly stimulated their performance skills and made progress together in one-move interaction.



Such a "two-faced rivalry" later appeared in "July and Ansheng", and the outburst scenes of mutual denunciations and quarrels in the bathroom tore apart the characters’ true characters and the delicate relationship of mirror images.


Zhou Dongyu’s crying scenes are full of appeal. Zhou Dongyu admits that Ma Sichun is a good opponent, and she doesn’t need to brew much, so she can enter the play quickly. Ma Sichun also said that this play, "Let me know myself better, and I have a deeper exposure to some deep-seated things in the performance."


The two have been nominated for a number of Best Actress awards and have won awards together. When faced with competing questions, the two have responded in unison – "What I have is hers, and what she has is mine." "July and Ansheng" has witnessed the friendship and transformation of Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun.



Likewise, and on-screen interpretation of what is a deep sisterhood. Jia Ling directed the first film, Zhang Xiaofei played the heroine for the first time, and they integrated their friendship into "Hello, Li Huanying".


When Zhang Xiaofei was not yet famous, Jia Ling was very distressed to learn that she was bullied by the crew, and sent a righteous document expecting her to "become a big name soon! You are one drama away from becoming my sister’s idol!" If it wasn’t for Jia Ling and this movie, Zhang Xiaofei, who has been diving on the edge of film and television, would not have become popular, let alone have the opportunity to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress in a Chinese Film.


In the face of the opportunity, Zhang Xiaofei did not miss it. She firmly grasped it and released all the performance experience accumulated in the past in one movie. Jia Ling cooperated with her tacitly and worked together to interpret the touching mother-daughter relationship.



Being able to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress for the second time is also because of a "double female lead" movie like "Mom!".


She and the 85-year-old mother who takes care of her 65-year-old daughter who has Alzheimer’s disease play each other in the film. This is a role that Xi Meijuan believes is the most difficult to play in her career, and she has also achieved one of the richest and most complex performing arts practices. It is her close cooperation with Wu Yanshu that can dedicate this new life to the world.


When Wu Yanshu won the Best Actress Award at the Beijing International Film Festival, she especially thanked Xi Meijuan, who plays her daughter. "This award has Xi Meijuan’s share, and without Xi Meijuan’s achievements, I would not have won this award." In many interviews, Wu Yanshu praised Xi Meijuan as a textbook and intriguing performance, admitting that "without Meijuan dragging me like this, I would not have acted to this extent."



In the "double heroine" movie, because of the performances that rely closely on each other, those delicate and full emotions are superimposed.


Double heroine story, seeking innovation and change


The narrative model of "double female protagonists" can be replicated, but successful cases cannot be replicated.


In the 1980s and 1990s, the martial arts film craze gave birth to beautiful combinations such as "Green Snake" X, "New Crane Needle" X, "New Longmen Inn" Maggie Cheung X, etc. We saw the ruthless beauty of women fighting wits and courage on the screen. With the gradual decline of martial arts films, "double female protagonists" martial arts films have become rare treasures.



After "July and Ansheng" became popular, it was also based on the novel, but it could not continue its glory. The film’s score was only 3.2 points. "Red Rose" and "White Rose" did not have the effect of blessing, but instead fell into a bad script and a chaotic triangular love affair.



Sisters, classmates, girlfriends, enemies, mother and daughter… "Double female protagonists" can find new ideas and stories in regular relationships, and can also break through the framework combination to find fresher interactions between them, presenting the rich and subtle inner world of women.


In the past, we have experienced the adventurous spirit of two women joining hands to resist the patriarchal society in classic movies. In it, through the different fates of two girls of the same name, we have experienced the resilience of women.



So far, the "double heroine" model has spawned more interesting character relationships.


For example, from last year’s Cannes Film Festival to this year’s North American awards season, the actress, the object that the actress wants to play. It is very novel to observe from the perspective of an actress, to intervene in the marriage status of a couple who are lost in love, and to return to the actress’s own perception of acting.



"Double female protagonists" seek innovation and change in order to be more attractive. In addition to "Qiao Yan’s Heart", which Zhao Liying and Xin Zhilei will bring, there are currently several "double female protagonists" movies on the way in China.


And starring in "Family Joy", the selection of new materials, tells the story of a Northeast nanny and a Beijing widow from looking at each other and being tired of each other to cherishing each other. It will focus on the growth and thinking of a single mother and a neighbor girl after meeting. Remake from the high-scoring movie, by and deduce a period from unfamiliarity to snuggling with each other’s grandchildren.



The number of such films in China is currently small, and there is a lot of room for content development and imagination. Whether it is double heroine literature or real-life stories, they also provide a lot of creative materials. I hope that more dazzling "double heroine" films will appear in Chinese movies in the future.

Andy Lau sings affectionately

That night, Andy Lau sang dozens of classic songs including "Ice Rain", "Love You for 10,000 Years", "Chinese People", and "Forgotten Love Water", which triggered a chorus of the audience several times. The 50-year-old Liu Tianwang sang and danced with great enthusiasm. When he sang to the place where he forgot his feelings, he once undressed his chest muscles with pride, triggering countless screams. In the passage of singing lyrical songs, thinking of the heartfelt support of fans for him over the past 30 years, Andy Lau also once choked with tears on the spot.

50 million to create a 3D dream stage

    The workers’ body that could accommodate 40,000 spectators that night was packed, and the vast majority of fans went to the performance with a "pilgrimage" mentality. The performers spent 50 million yuan to create a 3D-effect dream stage for Liu Tianwang. In the opening stage, the blue and white porcelain background behind Andy Lau singing "The Chinese", the stage background of the dream palace in the stage of strong song and dance with the effect of flowing stars, and the CG-effect racing short film before Andy Lau sang "Dream Chaser" all made the audience hooked. After the short film, Andy appeared in the air wearing a racing suit and riding a locomotive full of flash diamonds, full of domineering. Later, when he sang "The Forgotten Time", Andy followed the trend and played a laser show. The production level of the performance was excellent and the ingenuity was unique, which made the audience cry for the price back.

Li Bingbing’s Weibo campaigns support "Lord Di"

    After Andy Lau started singing in Beijing, many people in the circle came to cheer, and his friend Li Bingbing was even more unwilling, and frequently sent pictures and texts on Sina Weibo to support it. Li Bingbing not only posted on Weibo that she went backstage to visit the class before the concert and took intimate photos with Andy Lau, but also mischievously praised Andy Lau as "an ageless legend from the clouds". Li Bingbing also sent blessings by the way: "Shangguan Jing’er wishes Lord Di Renjie a successful concert! Success! Success!"

Singing and dancing, showing off your pecs

    Although Andy Lau is already 50 years old this year, his performance on stage is full of enthusiasm. When singing "Chinese", he has already started to show off his fists and kung fu with the dance group. When it comes to Cantonese fast songs such as "Big Eyes" and "No Need for Love", Hua Zai dances retro jazz to his heart’s content, and dances closely with sexy female dancers in cool dresses from time to time. When singing to the rise, Lau Dehua simply unbuttoned all the buttons on his clothes generously, bursting his shirt and showing off his strong chest muscles, triggering countless screams from female fans at the scene.

Once the voice choked with tears on the spot

    That night, Andy Lau sang dozens of classic songs, including "Forgotten Love", "Love You for 10,000 Years", and "Thank You for Your Love". Mindful of the fans’ heartfelt pursuit of him over the past 30 years, when he sang "Me and My Pursuit of Dreams", Liu Tianwang once choked up his voice, shed tears on the spot, and said emotionally, "Thank you for letting me realize my dream. Even if there is only this small row of people who like me, I will continue to work hard!" He also specially gave "Ice Rain" to fans: "I must sing this song today, because I know that if I don’t sing this song, everyone will not let me leave Beijing." Originally, "Applause" was the last song on the repertoire, but during the encore stage, Andy Lau responded to the enthusiastic call of fans and reappeared in his pajamas, singing several songs such as "Seventeen Years Old" and "Treasure the Stage" again. In the farewell atmosphere, Andy Lau agreed with fans: "See you next year!"

Did you see that strange light? It was a storm that came with the dawn. It was something else. It was terrible. Did you hear the rumbling? It’s probably rain. No, not the rain. He saw us. Follow us. He caught up with us. Get in the carriage, Mia. Let’s go in. Come on. The death elves are going through here. Mia, the death elf. And he is very big. Do you feel cold?

How fast is badminton? 300 kilometers per hour, shooting Mars is just basic exercise.

We have all played badminton, but do you know how lethal badminton is? It can even open our heads directly, yes, it is so horrible. What kind of speed does a small badminton need to cause such great lethality? How fast can Lin Dan, a famous badminton player in China, play badminton?

Answer the first question here. The fastest speed of badminton is 493 kilometers per hour. Perhaps some friends’ ideas are still stuck in the impression that the speed of badminton is 350 kilometers per hour, which is an old imperial calendar in previous years. Nowadays, the speed of badminton is getting faster and faster, and it has even become a deadly sport.

In one competition, Chen Wenhong, a famous Malaysian badminton player, created a speed of 493 kilometers per hour. It is unstoppable to jump and kill a ball at such a high speed.

Prior to this, the world’s highest badminton record was 421km/h, of course, it was also created by Chen Wenhong.

Then what is the concept of this speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour? You know, the highest operating speed of our high-speed rail now is 350 kilometers per hour, so badminton is actually faster than the high-speed rail? Do you think it’s incredible to see this? After all, badminton is called the fastest ball game in the world.

In fact, in addition to Chen Wenhong, the strength of Li Zongwei is not to be underestimated. The speed of badminton can reach 456 kilometers per hour, which can directly crack watermelons and deeply embed them in melon meat. If we convert this watermelon into our heads, we suddenly feel that badminton is no longer so cute.

So, like our Chinese Olympic Champion Lin Dan, how fast can he play badminton?

The International Badminton Federation has published a ranking, and Lin Dan ranks fifth in the list of killing speed, with a speed of 401 kilometers per hour. There are friends here to say, since it is the first Olympic champion in the world, why can’t it speed up to the fastest?

Badminton, though extremely fast, is a skillful sport after all. Players who can beat speedminton are not necessarily strong. But strong athletes can generally hit a speed of nearly 400 kilometers per hour. For example, Fu Haifeng, a famous player in China, hit a speed of 396 kilometers per hour.

Since badminton is so fast, how lethal is it? Lin Dan gave us a demonstration. In the reality show "Come Champion" of Zhejiang Satellite TV, a board with a thickness of 12 mm was easily broken by Lin Dan.

So when we play badminton, we must pay attention to safety.

In fact, in addition to the extremely fast speed of badminton, the speed of other ball games can also reach quite amazing levels.

Tennis, similar to badminton, has reached a service speed of 246 kilometers per hour. In addition, the speed of football has reached 149 kilometers per hour, which was created by Carlos, a heavy gunner.

No wonder there are so many athletes with concussion in football matches, but we don’t know how far our national football team can play. Football players who have won proud rankings abroad are strong and muscular. In contrast, our national football team is relatively quiet.

The amazing speed of these ball games not only affirms the athletes’ efforts, but also reflects the limits of human beings invisibly. So in the future, what amazing record can this sport be created?

Will robots in science fiction movies appear in the future?

Robots in science fiction movies have always been one of the technological futures that people yearn for, but in reality, with the development of science and technology and the progress of robotics, can we expect robots in the future to be as good as those in movies? This paper will discuss the development of robotics and the future of sci-fi robots from many angles.

First of all, technically, artificial intelligence and robotics are experiencing unprecedented rapid development. Since 1950s, scientists have been working hard to develop various robots. At present, many robots can perform various tasks, such as industrial production, medical care, logistics and transportation.

However, the current robot technology still has many limitations, such as the lack of high intelligence and flexibility, which makes the robot in science fiction movies still seem to be a distant dream. Secondly, from the industrial and commercial point of view, robot technology has been widely used in various fields. Many large factories and production enterprises have adopted various types of robots for production, which can effectively improve production efficiency and quality, and reduce the work intensity of human workers. In the commercial field, robots are also widely used in logistics and express delivery to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

From the perspective of ethics and safety, the emergence of robots has also brought some problems. Scientists and policy makers must seriously consider the use safety and risks of robots and ensure that the behavior of robots conforms to ethical and moral standards. In addition, the development of artificial intelligence and robotics has also brought some negative effects, such as human unemployment and man-machine relationship.

Finally, from the cultural and social point of view, robots in science fiction movies have had a far-reaching impact on human imagination and cultural value. Robots are widely used in science fiction literature and movies, and have become one of the important cultural symbols, which embodies the expectation and imagination of human beings for future science and technology. This kind of imagination has also promoted the development of robot technology, prompting scientists to explore and innovate robot technology even harder.

To sum up, although robot technology and artificial intelligence technology are developing rapidly, it is still facing great challenges to realize the robot with high intelligence, strong flexibility and emotional connection with human beings in movies. However, robot technology has been widely used in various fields, bringing great convenience and benefits to mankind.

At the same time, the development of robot technology also needs to pay attention to ethical and safety issues, ensure that the behavior of robots conforms to moral and ethical standards, and balance the relationship between the development of robot technology and human interests. In addition, the robots in sci-fi movies have a far-reaching impact on human imagination and cultural value, and this imagination has also promoted the development of robot technology, prompting us to explore and innovate robot technology harder to realize the future dream of robot technology.

Continue to "destroy" painters? AI combination boxing, subverting the media creation mode!

The popularity of ControlNet should also be discussed from this back photo.

A girl posted a back photo with three friends on the beach in a circle of friends. Very common daily sharing, photos are beautiful, but not much!

Then, a man named @viggo saw this photo, made some processing with AI painting and sent it to social software, which caused an uproar about AI painting.

Viggo used AI to process photos twice before and after painting. For the first time, he generated two comic photos with great aesthetic feeling, which changed the gloom of the original picture and made the whole picture look brand-new. The most surprising thing is that,AI did not obliterate the posture of the original picture, but greatly preserved the posture of the four girls.For example, the second girl on the left is carrying her hand behind her back, which is also preserved in the generated works.

Perhaps seeing the enthusiasm of netizens, viggo followed by a second round of creation. This time, the effect is even more amazing, no matter from the layering of the picture, the sense of lines or the use of special effects in the scene, it makes people shine.

With the popularity of his paintings, viggo shared the production method very openly. He exposed himself with the help ofStableDiffusionandControlNetThe power of.

As we all know, Stable Diffusion is a high-performance model, which generates higher quality images, runs faster, consumes less resources and occupies less memory, and is a milestone in the field of AI image generation.

01

So what is ControlNet?

A plug-in, which can accurately control and adjust the image.

ControlNet is an image morphing algorithm based on control points, which is mainly used in digital image processing, computer vision and computer graphics. In addition, it can also carry out nonlinear deformation of the image according to the given control points, so as to realize accurate control and adjustment of the image.

Let’s look at the basic structure of ControlNet first. ControlNet manipulates the input conditions of neural network blocks, thus further controlling the overall behavior of the whole neural network. here"network block"Refers to a group of neural layers, which are put together as a common unit for constructing neural networks, such as resnet block, multi-head attention block and Transformer block.

The concept is abstract, let’s take a look at its drawing effect!

1. Canny edge detection:By extracting line drawings from the original image, images with the same composition are generated.

2. Depth detection:By extracting the depth information from the original image, a map with the same depth structure can be generated.

3. ControlNet with semantic segmentation:

4. Diagram of HED edge detection

02

Where is the power of ControlNet?

-highly refined

Its advantage is that it can adjust the image with high precision without distortion.Compared with other image morphing algorithms based on grid or shape, the morphing effect of ControlNet is more natural and smooth, and it can better adapt to the characteristics of the image.

Simply put, this technology can add an additional input to the AI diffusion model and limit the output direction of AI. Just like building roads and signs in the endless desert, it provides a direction for lost travelers.

Before the advent of ControlNet, AI painters had to work hard on "magic spells" if they wanted to produce images with specific characteristics-users often needed to add a series of actions and position modifiers to describe the posture and physical characteristics of the characters in the pictures. Even so, drawing still needed a lot of luck. With ControlNet, AI can produce image files that meet specific requirements through sketches, human key point features, depth maps, human bones and other features.

At the beginning, it is mentioned that the back of four girls is generated. According to viggo, he first uses StableDiffusion pictures to convert words, then uses Text2Prompt plug-in to expand the search for keywords, and finally uses ControlNet plug-in to bind bones to start trying to change keywords.

Many people think that the release of Stable Diffusion is a milestone in the generation and development of AI painting. It provides the public with an available high-performance model, which not only produces very high-quality images, but also has low requirements for resources and memory. It doesn’t need any complicated operation, just select keywords, and it will create an image with great visual effect.

The emergence of ControlNet solved the pain point of AI painting. Using keywords to generate pictures will inevitably be flawed, especially in details.And ControlNet can improve the effect of drawing, and go deep into very subtle places.

More than that, it can also realize the conversion from line drawing to full-color drawing, and input a line drawing to get a filled drawing.

In a word, a stunning AI painting can be done by using Stable Diffusion to generate high-quality big pictures, supplemented by ControlNet icing on the cake.

Of course, its power is far more than that, besides generating static images, it can also generate dynamic videos!

03

The idea of ControlNet video

Recently, #AI One-Click magic change Video # has become one of the hot topics recently. In fact, this is the video version of ControlNet.It can generate pictures with the same composition through line drawing extraction, posture detection, or model recognition.

For example, IKUN and Titanic, which we are familiar with, can generate magic change videos with one click!

There are many ideas of videoization in ControlNet:

Method 1:Export the original video frame by frame, and then use ControlNet to transform the style of each picture. It is recognized that there is no one of the most cumbersome ways!

Method 2:Combined with EbSynth, key frames are generated by using ControlNet. Compared with the former one, it is much more convenient.

Method 3:Combining ControlNet technology with Pix2PixVideo technology, an online demonstration version of video generation supporting ControlNet is developed, which is the simplest generation method at present.

The user interface is very simple. When the original video is imported, the video will first be disassembled into a frame sequence, and the human pose map will be detected by using the Openpose model in ControlNet, and then a new portrait will be generated according to the text. Thanks to the control of the pose map, the human posture can be kept unchanged.

It can be seen that with the iteration of technology update, more and more technologies similar to ControlNet will flood into the market, and many people think that the painter profession is facing a great threat.

04

ControlNet should not let painters stop imagining.

But to help it better control the operation of the brush.

With the introduction of ControlNet in AI painting, it will bring a series of influences.This technology can help machines accomplish more tasks, improve productivity, improve painting quality and efficiency, enhance human-computer interaction, and provide new visual experience.At the same time, it also means that traditional artists may face competitive pressure.

As more and more enterprises began to use AI painting to draw images, ControlNet technology began to enter people’s field of vision. At present, many enterprises are trying to use ControlNet technology to improve their image rendering technology, and hope to gain more competitive advantages by using this technology. Applicable industries include construction industry, machinery manufacturing, energy industry, medical industry, government agencies and other industries.

It is generally believed that this can better control the "motion" of the brush and draw the desired image more accurately.

In a word, ControlNet has an important influence on the development of artificial intelligence and AI painting, but it never makes human painters lose their imagination! In the future, the development trend of ControlNet is more prospective.

ChatGPT question and answer

ask

What are the defects of AI painting at present?

answer

Current artificial intelligence

Lack of creativity: AI painting can only generate new images based on existing images or data, lacking human creativity and imagination. Although AI can extract the features and styles of images through deep learning and generate corresponding images, AI lacks intuition, emotion and creativity, and it is difficult to create works of art with unique personality.

Unreal picture: AI painting can generate realistic images, but there are still some shortcomings in details and textures, and sometimes the generated pictures are not real enough to be easily identified.

Dependence on data: AI painting needs to rely on a large amount of data for training, and the lack of data will affect the quality of generated images. At the same time, the generated image is also easily limited by data, and it is difficult to create a new image beyond the data range.

Insufficient imitation: AI painting sometimes simply copies and repeats existing images or styles, lacking innovation and breakthrough, and it is difficult to achieve real imitation.

Insufficient ability of dialogue and interaction: At present, AI painting still lacks the ability of dialogue and interaction, so it can’t really interact and create with users, and it is difficult to meet the individual needs of users.
