This is my entry in the AImake Contest! This emboss file was created using AImake and then slightly edited using Photoshop to add some text and elements! My prompt was : Bodybuilder santa claus, rippling muscles, holding a dumbbell wrapped like a christmas gift, line art, viewed perpendicular to the surface, round. I've included the ORIGINAL AImake output, as well as the composited file, and also a version that I resculpted to give a more realistic emboss.
Firstly - I thought I'd generate a great image of Santa getting SWOLE for Mrs. Clause. My prompt was “Bodybuilder santa claus, rippling muscles, holding a dumbbell wrapped like a christmas gift, line art, viewed perpendicular to the surface, round”. I entered this in the AImake system and took the corresponding output straight into Photoshop for some text.
I also made a SECOND version wherein I manually re-sculpted Santa using other tools, such as zBrush.
This is all pretty straightforward … I loaded my favorite brass coin template settings into XCS, brought in the image, and sent it to my laser!
