Visual AI Mastery: Revolutionizing Planetarium Shows with 360° Animations

An Innovator's Guide to Merging Artificial Intelligence with Astronomical Wonder

---

Dear friends,

I am totally caught up in preparing the show in the planetarium Garching next weekend. So I will keep this one short. 😀

I did not find much documentation online to produce 360° AI animations with Stable Diffusion. Basically none at all. So I had to come up with a way myself…

In short:
With TouchDesigner I built a setup which produces basic 360° images / videos.

I can use them as ControlNet masks in Stable Diffusion to generate HDRI videos.
I will then feed those 360° videos back into TouchDesigner and play them live.

All pretty complicated but I plan to release an article about that on my new AI blog Visual AI Mastery once the show was a success. 🫡

I found a comic library next to my house! How cool is that? 

So I am working myself through the full edition of BONE. One of my favourite comics of all time.

Thank you for reading and supporting!

Much love,
Marius
