Look at tyDiffusion for AI inspiration.

Hi everybody!

As a previous long-time 3DsMax-user (1997-2020) I saw a clip on YouTube on TyFlow, the ever so popular particle (and much more) sysem for 3DsMax. I've used it myself for about 3-4 years ago. It really lifts 3DsMax higher than it deserves.

Now, the creator of TyFlow (the super-duper smart Tyson Ibele) has now implemented a new feature into the plugin: namely AI. He calls it tyDiffusion and uses StableDiffusion, ControlNet, LoRA and other models to greatly enhance the software, have take a look:

and

docs.tyflow.com/tyflow_AI/tyDiffusion/

I specially like the opotion to download different models directly in the UI as well as exporting to ComfyUI, the built in-asset library for ControlNet and other fantastic features.

I think that Blender would get a great advantage in implementing somthing similar to tyDiffusion. It is still early in the generative AI-field and things change rapidly, but as I see it. Generative AI is inevidable to learn for us creators.

I have no idea on where the addon would fit best into Blender, but perhaps as a compositing thing or maybe directly as a new renderer next to Cycles and EEVEE? What do you people think?

Thanks for reading this far, and if you have any thoughts, pleas elaborate.

Very best regards from Sweden,
