To try the new version of SketchUp Diffusion access the Centercode Project here.
With this release we are introducing two new Diffusion models for you to try: Preserve Color, and Relight. Additionally, we are testing a new standard model that includes an upgraded resolution and is utilized for scribble and inpainting tasks. Below you will find a description for each model.
Standard / Default
We are testing a new standard model that includes an upgraded resolution. These enhancements aim to provide higher quality outputs and better overall performance. This new model is also utilized for scribble and inpainting tasks. We are still working on optimizing inpainting with this model. Additionally, we are constantly tweaking default parameters on the server side to ensure optimal performance and quality.
This model combines your model’s viewport, with a prompt and/or a standard style to generate three different images. It extracts edges from the geometry of your model’s viewport and leverages ControlNet to ensure the generated images respect the geometry of your model.
Preserve Color
We have enhanced the Preserve Color model by upgrading its resolution and tweaking some of its default parameters. This ensures better preservation of original colors while providing higher quality outputs.
The colors generated by this model are greatly influenced by the prompt provided. If the colors appear too pale or different from expectations, consider tweaking the prompt or selecting NoStyle with custom keywords. For interior scenes, keywords such as “mat” and “glossy” can help achieve the desired results by guiding the model to apply appropriate material textures.
Relight
This model is particularly useful for describing what kind of light you want the generated image to have. You can include prompts like “noon”, “sunset”, “magic hour”, “night view” and the Relight model will render the image approximating the time of the day or light condition you have prompted Diffusion. The Relight model also does a pretty good job in respecting the materials and colors that are applied to your SketchUp model.
How to use it?
- Follow all the steps you would typically do using Text Prompts, selecting Styles, or using the Inpainting features.
- Click on one of the three modes available on the large button:
- Generate
- Preserve Color
- Relight
- Once you click on any of the options, Diffusion will start generating with the desired diffusion model and downloading the results.
- Keep in mind that Diffusion will keep generating on top of whatever image is shown in the Preview. If you want to regenerate on top of the original model viewport after a generated image is displayed in the preview space, you will need to click on the refresh button.
- The three different models can work for both text prompts and inpainting.
