Try It Out for Yourself

The most accessible method to experiment with this AI tool is through HuggingFace. Simply sign up for an account and navigate to the Illusion Diffusion space. Due to the high traffic, you may encounter a waiting list, so consider duplicating the space to streamline your image generation process.

For instance, let's use the following prompt:

Prompt: A secluded courtyard of a Roman villa during the Renaissance era, adorned with intricate sculptures, a central fountain, and walls draped in ivy.

Isn't that impressive? Here are additional examples:

• Prompt: The heart of a cyberpunk city, reminiscent of a Roman forum, glowing with neon signs in Latin, while hovercrafts navigate between ancient columns equipped with digital screens.

• Prompt: Ancient, gnarled trees with clock faces embedded in their trunks, their hands moving slowly.

• Prompt: A captivating magical town, with enchanting buildings surrounded by a bioluminescent forest and gentle rivers flowing through.

You're not limited to specific patterns; feel free to explore any design you imagine. Here’s a stunning creation using the Fusion Art AI tool.

Understanding the Technology Behind Illusion Diffusion

Illusion Diffusion operates using ControlNet, a component of Stable Diffusion, specifically utilizing the Monster Labs image model. ControlNet captures the composition or human poses from a reference image.

The input image is processed using the Canny edge detector to create a "control map," which highlights the detected edges. This control map then directs the ControlNet model along with the text prompt. After identifying edges, Openpose identifies specific positions of body parts such as hands, legs, and heads. With this data, Stable Diffusion generates a brand-new image.

API Endpoints for Developers

If you're a developer interested in building an application around this AI tool, explore the HuggingFace API documentation. Utilize the gradio_client Python library or the @gradio/client JavaScript package for API queries.

import { client } from "@gradio/client";

const exampleImage = await response_0.blob();

const result = await app.predict(3, [

"Howdy!", // string in 'Prompt' Textbox component

exampleImage, // blob in 'Illusion Diffusion Output' Image component

]);

console.log(result.data);

Exploring Web Applications

I discovered several web applications that offer similar functionalities, gaining popularity on platforms like Twitter and Product Hunt.
