Mr. Dalle's Art studio 2022

Play around with AI generating small artworks based on what you tell it to do! Fun and useful for artist inspiration. Maybe even a good tool for generating game assets? Or game icons? Who knows, the possibilities are endless.

Runs best on beefy gaming computers, because lots of computer power is needed.

Dimensions of pictures generated 256x256, saved in *.png format.

The speed of the program depends on your computer, but some patience is needed, especially for the Hardcore AI option. Patience is rewarded! And you'll basically get forever free access to custom images.

=== === === README === === ===
This is a simple / easy to use GUI for a VERY COMPLEX program. Expect your computer to be maxed out when generating images, because doing so isn't easy. Running Machine Learning algorithms takes lots of CPU and memory while running.

The first run of the program will take longer. This is because the program will download freshly trained Machine Learning models, these will take a couple of extra GB of data on your computer. Expect the program to be within the 5 - 10 GB range.

The art generation process is very CPU heavy. When generating, it's most likely that 100% of your CPU will be used. The process can always be cancelled by exiting the program. But patience will be rewarded.

All generated files are saved on disk. You'll find them in the @generated_images folder, within the root folder of the program. Clicking on "Open save folder" will take you there.

Ethical Use policy by OpenAI: https://labs.openai.com/policies/content-policy
This is the content policy from OpenAI's own AI generative tool, and they don't really apply to this program at all in any Terms of Use sense, but I consider them to be good guidelines to follow when using this kind of software.

My computer isn't powerful enough? Don't worry, if you got some programming skill know how and don't need the GUI, you can use this version provided in google colab: https://colab.research.google.com/github/kuprel/min-dalle/blob/main/min_dalle.ip...

What make good prompts?
Descriptive, specific and precise prompts work the best. The standard prompt in the program is for instance: "Picasso painting of a poodle." Adding the name of an artist is a neat trick. But feel free to experiment.

Can I use the images that the program generates? Yes! As a matter of fact, I want you to, because it's cool. Please attribute the program by linking to this itch.io page. A bit like a CC BY 4.0 Creative Commons Licence :)

PS; Neither I nor OpenAI (unaffiliated) take any responsibility for the images being generated. Keep that in mind. When using the generated images, be aware of external trademarks / copyrights. For instance the program might randomly generate images that's protected by trademarks or copyrights of other artists or companies, brining that into your game / products might bring trouble to you. Unlikely, but keep it in mind.
