Generative AI in Dynamo: Image Creation with Replicate
AI-generated imagery is rapidly changing architectural visualization, conceptual design, and material experimentation. However, integrating these capabilities into AEC workflows can be complex, requiring extensive coding knowledge and technical expertise. This course provides a structured, low-code approach to exploring Replicate’s AI diffusion models within Dynamo for Revit, making AI-powered image creation accessible to designers, architects, and BIM professionals.
By leveraging pre-built Dynamo nodes, this course introduces a set of five AI models, each offering distinct capabilities for image generation, enhancement, and transformation. These models allow users to generate AI-driven conceptual visuals, refine sketches, enhance images, segment elements within a visual composition, and manipulate styles based on influences. Rather than focusing on automation or detailed workflows, this course introduces AI image generation as a creative tool, opening new possibilities for design ideation and presentation.
Unlike technical scripting courses, this learning experience does not involve hands-on exercises or structured projects. Instead, it serves as an exploration of AI-driven visual creativity, demonstrating how AI-generated images can influence design thinking, conceptual workflows, and material applications within AEC environments. By the end of the course, students will gain a foundational understanding of AI-driven image generation and how it can be leveraged in Revit and Dynamo workflows for future applications.
Exploring Five AI Models for Image Generation
This course introduces five powerful AI image-generation models, each designed to address specific aspects of visual creativity:
Interior Design AI – Generates fully detailed interior spaces based on descriptive prompts, helping designers visualize different layouts, furniture arrangements, and material combinations.
Sketch-to-Image AI – Transforms rough sketches into realistic images, making it possible to develop early-stage design ideas without manual rendering.
Image-to-Image AI – Enhances and refines existing images while preserving overall structure, allowing users to improve image resolution, sharpness, and clarity using AI-driven techniques.
Segmentation AI – Breaks down images into multiple layers or elements, enabling the analysis and manipulation of individual image components for material exploration or alternative visual compositions.
Replicate Image-to-Image with Influencer AI – Adjusts and refines an image’s style based on an external reference, allowing designers to guide AI-generated outputs toward specific aesthetics.
Each of these models opens new opportunities for AI-driven visualization, enabling users to explore conceptual sketches, material compositions, and presentation imagery with greater efficiency.
