Overview
I've often told my clients that working with AI is like trying to hit a target in the dark. I've also told them that AI doesn't have to steal other people's work... We can build a system that uses our own work as a tool to help us rapid prototype ideas better.
You can't put the Genie back in the bottle... Working with AI is here to stay... so how can we use a custom workflow built in a node based environment to help us get to exactly what we are trying to do.
Our final project will 100% be built in ComfyUI and mix AI tools and processes + image post production techniques to create a final project of a workflow placing a product into a variety of backgrounds.
Learning highlights
- Dive into the possibilities of the computer’s extraordinary feats in our digital age.
- This course is ideal for students looking to understand that working with AI.
- We will build an AI workflow that uses our own inputs and assets to deliver endless possibilities.
