1. How to design a Rally Car with Tengr.ai?

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to design an impressive rally car that looks like it jumped out of the pages of a car magazine? As you’ll see it in our video tutorial, Tengr.ai can make that happen with just a few clicks. We’ll show you the easiest way to generate an impressive rally car image. But don’t stop there; let your imagination and creativity flow to take your design to new heights.

To start, we created a rally car with the prompt: “Create a rally car moving fast, with motion blur and trailing dust effects. Cinematic, realistic”. Then, we used Photographer style for a realistic touch. With Creativity and Details levels set to 4, 16:9 aspect ratio, all we had to do is press Generate. As a result, we got 4 stunning car images.

Tips: By adding keywords like ‘fast’, ‘motion blur and ‘trailing dust effect’, we elevated the realism and dynamism of our images. Some other possible terms that can enhance your prompt: ‘hyper-realistic’, ‘dust and debris flying through the air’, ‘covered in mud’, ‘rain-soaked’, etc. Furthermore, adding color and other descriptive details can shape the image to your own vision, making it unique and less generic. And, the most important tip is to adjust your prompt as you go, adding details and tweaking it to your taste.

Fun Fact: Did you know “rally” comes from the old French word “rallier,” which means “to regroup”? Just like rally drivers regroup and then race on different terrains, Tengr.ai helps you regroup your thoughts to come up with more creative designs.

In this video, we’ll craft an adorable image of a squirrel using the Double Exposure technique. But that’s not all – we’ll elevate the charm by adding extra details. Curious about the technique? We’re happy to share it with you:

Firstly, we entered the prompt: “Double Exposure, a cute squirrel superimposed to a heart”. We then chose the Default style and set the Creativity and Details levels to 3. As a result, we got some really cute pictures, but we wanted something even more captivating. So, we modified our prompt by adding more dramatic elements: “Double Exposure, a stormy night, a cute squirrel superimposed to a translucent heart”. These were truly awesome. By adding a few extra details, the whole mood and atmosphere of the image changed. But we took it even further by adding the word ‘thunder’ to our prompt to get even more impact.

Adjusting the prompt as you go is one of the best ways to achieve the most pleasing results. In the end, we were really happy with the results. They looked truly dramatic and amazing.

Tips: Try to adjust the prompt to your own taste and liking. Try different combinations and backdrops to find your perfect match: ‘sunset background’, ‘forest scenery’, or ‘city lights’ for example. You can even add vivid descriptive details such as ‘soft glow’, ‘mystical atmosphere’, or ‘ethereal light’. These can really make your images stand out.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the double exposure technique originated in traditional photography where two exposures were superimposed on a single frame? With Tengr.ai, you can create this magical effect effortlessly with modern technology!

10. From Portrait to Sketches and Paintings

This time, we’ll show you how to turn an uploaded portrait of a girl into an amazing sketch drawing and a beautiful oil painting. The possibilities are endless!

We started the process by uploading an image with the “New from Image” option, chose the Sketch Master processing mode in Line Art style, Creativity and Details levels at 3, 1:1 aspect ratio, and entered the prompt: “Carbon sketches, pretty girl’s face, bun hairstyle”. While we waited for the images to be generated, we added some emotions with our EmotionFlow feature to make it more special. The result? Amazing carbon sketches.

Then we tried the same image in Depth Guided mode, by setting the Creativity level higher, to 4, and the Details to 5. The sketches gained incredible depth and detail, making them even more impressive. We also tried it in Impasto style for a rich, textured look but with a slightly modified prompt: “Oil painting, pretty girl’s face, bun blonde hairstyle”. Keeping the Creativity and Details levels the same, at 4 and 5, we’ve got some stunning oil painting portraits with amazing detail and texture, and rich, saturated colors.

Tips: Experiment with prompts and artistic mediums as they can give very different results. Tengr.ai has built-in styles that are amazing for portraits, such as Analog, Portraiture, Photographer, Water-Cute for watercolor, Abstract Ink gives very interesting splashed ink effect, and there is the Impasto style that we used in this tutorial. Another thing that you should experiment with is the Creativity and Details levels, those can have a big impact on the result as well.

Fun Fact: Did you know that carbon sketches and oil paintings have been used by artists for centuries to create timeless works of art? With Tengr.ai, you can effortlessly create your own artistic AI masterpieces using these classic techniques!

11. Master Efficient Prompts with Tengr.ai!

In this video, we’ll show you how to craft effective prompts and demonstrate with a few examples. Follow these steps to make your prompts clear, dynamic, and impactful:

The first step is choosing a clear and focused subject. This can be a person, an animal, an object, or even a location. A single, well-defined subject gives the best results. Next, use descriptors to add depth and interest to your image. This can include physical attributes or even actions to make your image dynamic. Examples: “A joyful Labrador Retriever leaping over a log”, “An angry squirrel holding a baseball bat”, or “A beautiful woman, wearing glasses, reading a book”.

Another important step in crafting an efficient prompt is specifying the artistic medium, e.g., photo, painting, drawing, watercolor painting, charcoal sketch, illustration, etc. Tengr.ai has 25 built-in styles making this process much easier. However, if the desired style is not listed, you can just specify it in your prompt and use the Default style.

Finally, defining the environment is another important component of an efficient prompt. This creates a complete scene, influencing the tone and mood of your image. Examples: “A joyful Labrador Retriever leaping over a log, in a forest stream”, or “A female cyborg with beautiful eyes, rainy, stormy evening, in a futuristic cityscape”.

Additionally, if you want to see more examples or read more tips on prompting, read our “Useful Tips for Effective Prompting” blog post.

21. Composition Types

If you’ve ever wondered how to make your AI images look more professional and captivating, then this video is for you. One way to make your images more unique is using the right composition. Professional photographers use them, painters also use them, so why not use them in AI-generated images as well? Images with the right composition can tell a story and emphasize the subject.

In this video we’ve mentioned a few of the fundamental composition types:

Rule of Thirds: It’s like an imaginary grid dividing the image into 9 equal parts and placing the main subject on one of the intersections or along them for perfect balance.
Symmetrical Composition: Balance and symmetry are at focus. It’s like an imaginary line dividing the image in two, and placing the elements evenly on both sides.
Leading Lines: A main line that guides our eyes through the image, leading to the main point.
Circular Composition: Arranges elements in circular shapes to symbolize unity and repetition.
Golden Ratio: Based on a mathematical value, forming a grid or a spiral shape (Golden Spiral). It’s used a lot in the art and photography world.
Framing: Encloses the subject in a frame, placing it in the center of it (windows or elements from nature work well as natural frames).
Vertical or Horizontal Composition: Both of these tell a different story. Tall trees or skyscrapers work well with vertical composition. Landscapes are best for horizontal composition.
Negative Space: It has a minimal or empty background (such as the sky or a large water surface), thus putting the entire focus on the main subject.
Contrast: It uses color, light, shape, or size contrast to make your subject really stand out.
Patterns and Repetition: Uses repeating shapes or patterns to create visual rhythm and interest.

Tip: Different compositions can evoke different moods. Think about the emotion you want to convey when choosing a composition.

Fun Fact: The Golden Ratio is considered the most aesthetically pleasing proportion to the human eye. And it appears everywhere in nature (seashells for example).

So, use the tips from this video to put the focus on the right spot and tell your own story. If you’d like to learn more about composition types, and how to apply them in your images, then check out our related blog.

22. Discover the New ScenaNova and Detailer Upscaler Features of Version 0.8.5

In this video, we’ll show you the latest features that came with the release of Tengr.ai 0.8.5.

First, we’ll explore the new Detailer Upscaler feature, available for Pro users. This allows you to enhance the details of your image while preserving the original. You can also adjust the strength of the modification (ranging from ‘Very Subtle’ to ‘Extremely’), as well as the upscaling factor. (2x, 4x). Simply upload an existing image or load the current one using the ‘Send to Detailer Upscaler’ option. Then, by moving the vertical slider you can see the difference between the old and the new image. You’ll see a few examples in our video. It’s an excellent way to make your images more detailed and refined.

Then there is another great addition, the new ScenaNova processing mode. With this, you can seamlessly replace the background behind your subject in the image. You can also adjust the strength of the modification and use the prompt to specify the new background that you want to see. We’ll show you a few examples, such as transforming a flowery field into a city street or a forest scene into a beautiful mountain top. If you want to learn more about this new feature and how to use it, read our related blog post.

Tip: When using the ScenaNova processing mode, try creating backgrounds that are in sharp contrast with your subject to see how it changes the overall mood and message of your image. The background can have a great impact on the narrative of the image.

Fun Fact: The process of altering backgrounds has been used since the early 20^th century in film-making and television. It was a technique called matte painting. Artists would paint different scenes on large glass panels. Then, they combined these with live-action footage to create special visual effects for actors. Creating these scenes would have been too expensive or impossible to film otherwise. These were the first attempts at the digital visual effects we see today.

Version 0.8.5 brings many other updates that enhance user experience, and several bug fixes, ensuring a smoother creative process. Check out the tutorial and our blog to see these tools in action!

23. Lighting Techniques for AI Art

In this video we’ll explore various lighting techniques that can make our images unique and artistic.

Backlighting and Silhouette Lighting – A very popular technique among photographers where the subject is illuminated from behind, creating a more dramatic, mysterious atmosphere.
Bokeh Light Effects – This refers to the out-of-focus areas in a photo, which often appear as circular but can also be polygonal, depending on the lens used. These blurred background lights beautifully highlight the main subject.
Strobe Lighting Effect: With this technique you can ‘freeze’ a moving subject in action, displaying special effects.
Gobo and Patterned Light – In photography, a gobo is used to cast patterned shadows on the subject. These can be of different patterns, geometric or floral designs, giving a special touch to images.
Colored Gel Lighting – This involves using a filter that allows us to change the color of the lighting, based on the mood you want to achieve.
Cinematic Lighting – Achieve a film-like effect with the setup of lights, shadows and composition. This can bring the world of cinema to your images.
Light Painting – This effect is achieved by photographers with a long exposure shot, where a moving light source (such as moving cars or a plane taking off) draws shapes. You can create similar effects with Tengr.ai by using this technique in your prompts.
Bioluminescence – It’s a naturally occurring phenomenon where certain microorganisms emit light through chemical processes. With this effect you can add a magical glow to your images.
Prism Lighting – Achieved when light passes through a crystal or prism, which breaks the light into the colors of a rainbow. Much like in the case of a rainbow, where water droplets act as a prism.
Contre-Jour (Against Daylight) – Here the subject is captured against a strong light, mostly sunlight, making them appear as a silhouette.

While these techniques are used in photography to achieve special effects, they can be used in AI to achieve similar effects. The difference is that in AI, your prompt is your camera, and you have to use your words wisely to bring your ideas to life.

Tip: For more versatile effects, specify the time of the day in your prompt, such as ‘dawn light’, ‘golden hour’, ‘late afternoon sun’. These can all have different moods and dramatically change the atmosphere and setting of your images.

Fun Fact: While bioluminescence was properly investigated in the late 19^th century, its discovery goes further back in history. Sailors have noticed for centuries that oceans glow at night due to the luminescent bacteria.

24. Understanding Aspect Ratios

In this video, we’ll guide you on choosing the right aspect ratio depending on the type of content you need.

But first of all, what exactly is the aspect ratio of an image? It’s the ratio of an image’s width to its height. It’s represented by two numbers separated by a colon.

Why does this matter? Because the aspect ratio determines how your image will be displayed and perceived —it’s like fitting a photo into a frame. It’s more important than you might think. Let’s explore the aspect ratios Tengr.ai offers:

Square (1:1) – Best for social media posts as it works well on both mobile and desktop screens. It’s a great choice for when you want an image to be viewed comfortably like social media posts.
Tall and Narrow (7:9) – Perfect for book covers, magazines, and detailed portraits. It can show a tall subject with all its details without feeling cramped, and it has the right width to make everything look framed just right.
Portrait Photography (2:3) – Used by most digital cameras, it’s perfect for portraits and art prints. It provides a balanced look – neither too tall nor too wide. It’s the perfect choice for those photography-type AI creations where you want the focus on a single subject.
Narrow Screen (4:7) – Best for web content like promotional banners and mobile ads. It fits neatly in different website layouts and mobile screens.
Mobile Story (9:16) – It’s the one best suited for smartphone displays. Excellent for social media stories and mobile video content, filling the screen of smartphones perfectly.
Extra Tall (9:21) – This is even taller than the 9:16 making it ideal for vertically scrolling content like presentations, interactive artwork, or web comics.
Wide Portrait (9:7) – This format is somewhere between portrait and landscape orientation, kind of like a hybrid. Great for website headers, landscapes, or panoramic portraits, offering a comprehensive view while still maintaining the height.
Standard Photography (3:2) – Common in digital cameras, this ratio is great for general photography-type images, landscapes and prints.
Widescreen Portrait (7:4) – It’s great for when you want to create website content with enough detail but still compact. It’s great for presentations and other digital displays.
HD Video (16:9) – The standard format for television and YouTube videos, plus other online video content. It provides enough space for storytelling scenes without cropping important details.
CinemaScope (21:9) – An extremely wide aspect ratio that adds a cinematic, dramatic effect to AI-generated images. Perfect for gaming designs as well.

Tip: When choosing the aspect ratio, think about where you’re planning to display it, what medium are you creating it for. Also, experiment with different ratios to see which one provides the best aesthetic appearance.

Fun Fact: The 21:9 aspect ratio, developed in the early 1950s for traditional cinema films, was supposed to give movies a more ‘theatrical’ feel and draw audiences away from their TV screens back into movie theaters.

Not so complicated, right? After this, you’ll know which aspect ratio to choose for your images. If you’d like to know more details and examples, read our related blog post.

25. 10 Mind-Blowing AI Art Styles

In this video, we’re going to introduce 10 amazing AI art styles that, when added to a prompt can generate unique images:

Glitch Art – This style originates from the corruption of digital or analog files, known as ‘glitches’. It has become widely popular in both images and in videos.
Art Deco Revival – It was a major trend in the early 1920s. It is characterized by sleek geometric shapes, luxurious materials and timeless elegance.
Pop Surrealism – Features whimsical or sometimes even grotesque elements. It creates a surreal atmosphere with a touch of humor or irony.
Risograph – It reminds us of the typical old-school look of digital screen printing. It has that well-known grainy texture and misaligned colors that can’t be confused with other printing methods.
Abstract Data Art – Transforms data patterns into abstract images with futuristic elements.
Kinetic Art – Reflects the original kinetic effect, creating the illusion of motion, packed with cool effects.
ASCII Art Overlay – This is a unique form of typography or word art. It uses letters, numbers and characters from the ASCII chart to form pictures.
Synesthesia Art – AI can create images that represent how music might appear to someone with synesthesia or visualize the color of certain words or emotions. Or it could simply add a special and fun effect to images.
Sumi-e Art – A special East-Asian painting style. It beautifully represents the culture of that region.
Low Poly 3D – Produces 3D scenes with distinct angular, polygonal shapes. This gives the style’s specific look.

Tip: To fully benefit from these styles, think abut the emotional impact or narrative you wish your images to evoke. For instance, Glitch Art can suggest chaos or disruption in a futuristic way, while Sumi-e can evoke a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

Fun Fact: Did you know that ASCII art originates from the 1960’s, when it was a popular form of art because of early computers’ limited graphics capabilities?

We hope this video has introduced you some useful and unique styles that you can apply to your AI-generated art. To find out more about these styles or to get inspirational prompts, visit our related blog post.

26. Exploring Lesser-Known Photography Methods

This time we’re going to introduce you to some photography-related techniques that many people don’t know about, but can really change your AI-generated art:

Schlieren Imaging: This cool technique lets us capture things in our images that are normally invisible, such as heat waves, or shock waves surrounding fast-moving objects, or air currents.
Thermal Imaging: Thermal imaging or thermography shows us temperature differences through vibrant color gradients, making it look like a colorful temperature map.
X-Ray Style Imaging: This method shows you the internal structure of objects or living beings, similar to an X-ray scan.
Kirlian Photography: This captures electrical discharges or glows around the subject, making them look like they have energy fields or glowing ‘auras’ around them.
Chronophotography: It captures multiple stages of movement in a single image. It’s like seeing the different stages of the motion all at once.
Infrared Imaging: This technique uses infrared light to create images. It has a surreal, otherworldly effect with unusual colors.

Tip: Think about the context you’re using these techniques in. For example, Kirlian photography could be effective in fantasy scenes, while Schlieren imaging could be great for spiritual themes or even sports or dance themes.

Fun Fact: Kirlian photography was discovered accidentally by Semyon Kirlian in 1939 while repairing medical equipment. His discovery had great significance in art and science photography as well.

We hope we’ve inspired you to experiment with these unconventional techniques. If you’d like to know more about these techniques, be sure to read our related blog post.

27. Capturing Micro Worlds

In this video we’ll show you some examples and tips on how to use AI for macro, micro, and detail photography.

Understanding Macro and Detail Photography: When you zoom in super close on everyday items, you start noticing details you’ve never noticed before. Close-up and extreme close-up photography make subjects appear much larger. Macro gets closer and captures tiny subjects at lifesize or larger, while micro photography goes even further using extreme microscopic magnification.

Practical Tips to Get You Started:

Start your prompt by specifying the type of shot you want: this could be close-up, extreme close-up, macro, or micro.
It’s best to use parenthesis to emphasize these terms or any other important detail.
Add “shallow depth of field” to your prompt to guide Tengr.ai to create images where the subject is sharply focused while the background is blurred.
Experiment with different styles, as well as Seer and Servitor modes to see which one gives you the expected result.

Explore Different Types of Photography:

Close-Up Photography: As if you’re looking through a magnifying glass, this type of shot brings you up close to the subject, making them more prominent.
Extreme Close-Ups: This technique gets even closer to capture tiny details of the subject such as an eye or a water droplet.
Macro Photography: Perfect for capturing extremely small subjects. It shows the details that you don’t usually see with the naked eye.
Micro Photography: It goes even further. It lets you see details that are only visible through the lens of a microscope. This can offer a unique touch to your AI art.

Tip: Use terms like ‘hyper-detailed’ or ‘ultra-realistic’ to add more detail and make your images more lifelike.

Fun Fact: Did you know that macro photography can show you nature’s secret patterns, like the Fibonacci sequence, seen in the way leaves and flowers grow?

So, whether you’re an artist, a curious explorer, or an AI enthusiast, using these types of photography techniques in your AI art can open up a whole new world of exciting possibilities. For more tips and examples, check out our related blog post.

28. Camera Angles

In this video, we’ll show you how to achieve the most commonly used camera angles to improve your AI art. Camera angles are the positions from where the camera captures the subject. How and where you position your camera can greatly influence the narrative and perspective of your image. Camera angles have the power to evoke emotions, set the mood, highlight important details, and tell stories without words.

Types of Camera Angles:

Eye Level Shot: The camera is at the same height as the subject’s eyes. It’s the most natural angle, perfect for portraits.
Low-Angle Shot: The camera is below the subject looking up. This makes the subject seem larger and more dominating. It’s the best choice when you want to emphasize the size and importance of the subject.
High-Angle Shot: The camera is above the subject looking down. This means that instead of making your subject look powerful and dominant, it actually makes them appear smaller and more vulnerable.
Worm’s-Eye View: The camera is very low on the ground, looking up. It’s great for making things look tall and impressive, similar to the feeling we get when looking up at a towering skyscraper or a tall tree for example.
Bird’s Eye View (Overhead Shot/Elevated Shot): The camera is high above, looking straight down. It’s great for showing patterns and scale.
Dutch Angle (Tilted Angle): The camera is tilted. It makes things look off-balance and can make viewers feel unsettled or tense like when watching a thriller or horror movie.
Fish-Eye Lens Shot: In photography, they use a wide-angle lens to achieve this effect. It makes a panoramic view with a specific visual distortion. Tengr.ai can mimic this effect amazingly.
First-Person View/Point of View (POV) Shot: This perspective shows us the scene through the eyes of the subject, seen exactly as they would see it, often including details such as their hands or feet in the frame.
Aerial View: Provides a wider view of the scene from high up. It is typically captured from a helicopter or drone.

Tip: Choose your camera angle based on the story you want to tell. A low-angle shot or a worm’s eye view can make a subject look heroic, while a high-angle shot might make the same subject appear vulnerable.

Fun Fact: The Dutch angle was first used in German films, not Dutch ones, to create a feeling of confusion.

Using these camera angles can add a lot of depth and emotion to your AI art. To find out more about this topic, visit our related blog post.
