ComfyUI is emerging as the industry leader in the open-source community. We will look at the various modalities for running locally and on the cloud and then delve into some common workflow examples. We will delve into a few examples using historical images, visual data from Google Street View & volumetric videos to tell the history of changing Portland neighborhoods to creatively interpret history and imagine what we want them to be in the future creating imaginative AI animations using ComfyUI, Runway & Krea that show the passage of time and depict proposed futures in line with the current AD campaign, "Portland is what we make it!"
Prerequisite: Some basic knowledge of what Generative AI is and an openness to use it
Required Materials: It would be helpful for people to have logins set up for Runway, LumaAI, Spline, ComfyUI & Krea
Instructor: Peter Vickery
