My wife and I started a children’s jewelry business, and I’ve wanted to use AI to show children wearing our jewelry. Every time I try, I get either ridiculous results or hit some artificial censorship wall about making images with children.
I would really like to find a way to do this (either online or locally) if anyone has any tips for giving a model some images of real jewelry with dimensions (and if needed even photographed or generated children) and having the model accurately place the jewelry on the kids.
Because it is extremely time consuming (and expensive) to do that. The logistics are very challenging with finding a variety of child models, environments/studio, outfits, lighting, cameras, photo processing, etc...
And then you have to do it all over again every few months as the products and the seasons change!
About 30 years ago in a creative 2-week fit I wrote a mini-symphony. I’ve always envisioned expanding it into a full-length orchestral piece but don’t have the skills to do so.
I would love to use a music model that could help me do that.
I’m imagining feeding it my score and then iterating with it to create the final piece I’ve had stuck in my head all this time.
https://projectsam.com/libraries/the-free-orchestra play around with something like this, and you'll be surprised with what you can come up with. Modern DAW's have given me a ton of freedom to create all types of music.
Protips: Museum networks with reciprocal memberships and passes from local libraries
There are a few networks of museums such that once you join one museum in one network you get member benefits (or discounts) to the other museums in that network.
The networks break down into: Arts [0], Science [1], and Children's museums [2] [3]. Bonus network: Zoos! [4]
These can be a great value - especially for families with kids that like to do these things frequently. Our family travels between the MA, NC, and FL and the memberships have been a big help.
Free passes from public libraries - together with museum free days - sure look to me like a crutch that may be used to justify these higher prices. The result is very mixed: Yes that are now more free days I can go. But there are now no options to go and just idle and roam at a reasonable price. I used to have a membership to one of the few local world class museums but that's now not renewed. Another local world class museum has a price set so (relatively) high I never go anymore. The outcome seems very polarizing. But then perhaps just the cost of market segmentation resulting in high income and just perhaps, maybe stronger overall services in the end. I kind of doubt it.
Meanwhile we still have a few entirely free outstanding ones.
After moving away from walking distance to the National Mall in dc, I realized I had no idea how fortunate people who live in that area are to be able to access a dozen plus world-class museums for free, on their own terms and schedule. I had not moved to that area because of this perk, but it's far and away the one I'm most regret being without now. There's nothing else remotely like it in any major city in the country, maybe in any country.
Second this! Moreover, most muesum memberships pays for itself after a couple visits. We just took the family to NYC and went to the AMNH twice, and a membership was worthwhile.
Possible protip: Working at a FAANG or similar Fortune 500 might also grant you entry. I went to the Deyoung recently with a friend and found out that Genentech employees get access with an employee badge.
