WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
All right. Hi Intisar, how are you doing today?

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.000
Hi Mark. Yeah, I'm good. Doing good. How are you?

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.000
I'm doing good. I'm doing good. Thank you.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:19.000
So yeah, it's nice to connect with you. Thanks for taking the time to hop on a call and use the Hiree Network

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:27.000
and take a few minutes to talk about what you're doing with your new product and out there with AI agents.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:36.000
So I'm Mark. I've worked at Hiree for a number of years now, and I'm really excited about this new project that we have

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:45.000
where we're helping people connect on kind of the world's first truly AI agent forward social network.

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:51.000
So yeah, why don't you give me an intro about yourself and talk a little bit about your product?

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.000
Sounds great. First of all, thank you for the opportunity. So I am Intisar.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:04.000
I finished my master's in computer science and my major or my thesis was on AI.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.000
And I was like since my early education, like even like 10 years ago, while in my bachelor's,

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:18.000
I was always tinkering with newer technologies like back then, virtual reality and augmented reality was the next big thing.

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:26.000
But then AI came over and due to my long professional career in the digital media industry,

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:33.000
like alongside my computer science studies, I was working actively in various production companies,

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:40.000
making animation TV series or working in short films, music videos, whatnot.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:47.000
I had to do a lot of archviz, like architectural visualizations as part of that process.

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.000
I worked in several mega projects too, like architectural projects.

00:01:51.000 --> 00:02:00.000
And what I suffered during those like 10 years of career is that rendering times has never become faster.

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.000
Yes, it has. I mean, it's faster than before. It has become more photorealistic.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.000
If you are using the traditional rendering systems that are available.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:19.000
But then comes the issue of having a very powerful computer or a graphics card to be able to do that.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:25.000
So I wanted to like it started as a personal project in the beginning.

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:33.000
It was mostly to make my work easier. I thought, why not use AI to take off that rendering workload?

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:45.000
And nowadays we see like AI has become, I would say, a negative aspect for like expert or professional designers

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:51.000
because they call it AI slog, where you lose much of the creative decision making and your,

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:58.000
I would say, your creative direction when AI takes over what you are doing.

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.000
So I wanted to avoid that too.

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:10.000
So I wanted to keep the creator in the process and AI just becomes a co-worker or a helper tool that fastens up some of that,

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.000
that I said, or that takes away the barriers to a good render.

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:25.000
Like you don't need a strong enough graphics card or a GPU or a very expensive hardware to get professional results anymore.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.000
So that's why I built RenderMage combining all my experiences.

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:36.000
So this is a tool made for architectural artists by an architectural artist who actually worked in the field.

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:42.000
So I knew much of the headaches and much of the issues that we face.

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:53.000
And so I solved it myself. So if I can maybe share my screen and show you a live demo.

00:03:53.000 --> 00:04:00.000
So this is the landing page where you see the features.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.000
You see some comparisons of before and after you render with RenderMage.

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.000
And it's not just a rendering tool.

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:17.000
As I said, it's an all in one archviz tool which helps students, architects and interior designers to streamline their workflow

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:24.000
and work faster and get better results for their clients or for their teachers or for their classrooms.

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:34.000
So there's a long list of features and some of them are very unique that currently I have not seen any tool provide that.

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.000
So that I'm quite proud about.

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.000
So once we are in the studio, this is the interface that you are presented with.

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:49.000
It's quite intuitive. And you see in the top nav bar, you have four workflows.

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:57.000
You can either render, you can edit in canvas, you can use the interior 3D for actual browser based 3D designs.

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:02.000
So you don't have to leave the software and, you know, use other page tools.

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.000
And this full studio is completely free forever for you to use.

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:19.000
So the credits that you see in the top right corner is only deducted when you use AI for rendering or for video generation.

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:25.000
Otherwise, like the full design studio and the 3D workflows are completely free online.

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:36.000
So I think that will take away much of the entry barriers for students or interior designers who doesn't have a very expensive subscription plan.

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:45.000
So just to see, show you. So, for example, a very simple workflow could be you have a SketchUp design.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:51.000
SketchUp is widely used by architecture students. And you have very simple.

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.000
You don't have to prompt, you don't have to do any headaches.

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.000
So there's very simple presets and I'll just leave it at default.

00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:09.000
And I'll press generate render. And as we are talking live within five to 10 seconds, you should have a very finished, complete result.

00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.000
So just a couple more seconds.

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.000
And you have your own server processing this or which cloud or did you set up your own?

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:23.000
Yes, it's completely set up by me and it's secure and it's cloud based.

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:39.000
And yes, as you can see. So another thing with current AI models, like even with frontier AI models like Nano Banana or GPT image to what most users face is that geometries are changed.

00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:44.000
The composition is changed. The camera view might change. The objects in your scene might change.

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:53.000
But my custom workflow that I designed stays true to your geometry. As you can see, like every detail remains the same.

00:06:53.000 --> 00:07:00.000
And it's very high resolution also. It's like 2K resolution.

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:09.000
So and then you can export. But I also have some unique like you can you can chat with it on the right corner.

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:15.000
You can tell RenderMate what to change. Like I would say change the swimming pool.

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:21.000
Into a kids playground.

00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:29.000
And just like that, by chatting, you can make changes and you don't have to leave the site or make small edits.

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:40.000
And also, which is, I think, much more user like which makes this a complete archviz tool is my.

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:45.000
So as you can see, the swimming pool is now a kids playground.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:54.000
So it added playground elements into the existing image. But for example, I'll show you another workflow where I have.

00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:58.000
Can you see my screen like I have SketchUp here? Yeah.

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:06.000
Yeah. So it's an interior design. Design is SketchUp. And here in extension, this is also free.

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:12.000
Like you can download it from our website. You can download a free plugin for SketchUp or Blender or ArchiCAD.

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:20.000
And I just press if I go here and go to capture mode on our app and it says like open SketchUp.

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:28.000
So it automatically detects that SketchUp is open and I send you to RenderMate.

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.000
And you can see the SketchUp model has come to our online app.

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:58.000
And now I can just press, for example, now change it to pool interior and change it to interior and generate render.

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:10.000
Yeah. So as I said, pool interior, you see, it has become a very photorealistic image of a very cool and very bluish interior,

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:15.000
keeping all my elements in the image intact exactly as it is.

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:22.000
Now, one more feature we have is in paint where, for example, if I want to only edit this part,

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:29.000
I can say change the sofa to a red chair.

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:33.000
Yeah.

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:38.000
So here you don't need to go to Photoshop or whatever.

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:46.000
And also you don't have to be worried about changing your whole geometry, which sometimes happens with traditional AI workflows.

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:53.000
You tell ChatGPT or as you can see before and after.

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:58.000
So so there's just there's a lot you can do just in this render tab.

00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.000
And then, for example.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.880
you want to make some changes to the source image,

00:10:03.880 --> 00:10:07.000
you can just go to Canvas and make your edits,

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:10.040
just like Photoshop, and everything happens on the cloud.

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.280
So for example, I select this, like Photoshop,

00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:16.040
and I can change the materials.

00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:18.920
I'm just playing around here.

00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:22.080
So I can edit each material.

00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:28.560
And then I can just go back to Render tab

00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:31.880
and then render a new scene using this as a source image.

00:10:31.880 --> 00:10:34.840
The Canvas tool has everything that you might need

00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.720
from drawing tools to paint brushes,

00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.840
to everything you might need to fix your stuff

00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.920
before you go to the final render,

00:10:45.920 --> 00:10:49.640
so that you don't need Canva or Photoshop

00:10:49.640 --> 00:10:51.960
or any other design tools.

00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:57.000
Now, if you switch to interior 3D, we already see a demo,

00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.440
but you can edit the floor plan

00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:02.600
and one of the most unique things we have here

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:04.360
is this is all free to use.

00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.240
We are not using up the credits anymore.

00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.760
So I press import floor plan.

00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:14.640
Here, you can see I have a hand-drawn floor plan here,

00:11:14.640 --> 00:11:17.280
which is completely just an image file.

00:11:17.280 --> 00:11:20.720
And as I say, import and replace,

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.160
what it does is instantaneously.

00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:26.360
This is also happening with my own computer vision model

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.320
that I trained, that it converts your floor plan

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.320
into a editable template.

00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.840
And now if you go to 3D view,

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.200
here your floor plan is ready to make

00:11:39.280 --> 00:11:42.160
your own designs on the web.

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:47.200
So, and I have not seen any tool

00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.360
that allows you to import hand-drawn images.

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.080
And this could be very like,

00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.960
and you can add more walls or add doors and windows.

00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:04.200
For example, here, I want to add a door.

00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.480
And now you have a door here or a window.

00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:17.000
Wow.

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:18.000
I want to add a window.

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.080
Or you can also change the wall materials

00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.040
exactly like in the canvas.

00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:28.040
You can make it a stone wall

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.680
or you can change the floor material to like grass,

00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:34.520
for example.

00:12:34.520 --> 00:12:37.440
So we have a huge library of materials that you can use

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.000
and then edit each material however you wish

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.280
and place furniture.

00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:46.720
You can also import your own 3D models into the web

00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:47.680
and place them.

00:12:47.680 --> 00:12:52.160
So we have a built-in library for you to play around with,

00:12:52.160 --> 00:12:54.920
but you can also import your own 3D furniture

00:12:54.920 --> 00:12:59.040
or any other like a character or a human being

00:12:59.040 --> 00:13:01.200
and then place it live.

00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.840
And then once you're happy,

00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.600
you can go to render and just render this out.

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.320
So it's that easy.

00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.080
It's very fast.

00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:17.080
Just, and all new users get free credit

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:19.280
when they sign up.

00:13:19.280 --> 00:13:20.960
And there's also a referral program.

00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.600
You can see now it's rendered into a realistic image

00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.560
once you're done with your 3D design.

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:35.600
So yeah, and the video is like most AI users

00:13:36.520 --> 00:13:40.680
are already familiar with how video generation works.

00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:45.440
You have fields, like you have presets for camera motion

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.520
or aspect ratio and resolution,

00:13:48.520 --> 00:13:50.080
and then you generate video.

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.600
And this also happens all on the,

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.680
and also we have a free upscale to 4K.

00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:00.400
So once the video generates maybe 720p or 1080p,

00:14:00.400 --> 00:14:04.920
you can upscale it to 4K resolution for free.

00:14:04.920 --> 00:14:08.040
So there's a lot of free features in the studio

00:14:08.040 --> 00:14:10.760
that I think architectural students

00:14:10.760 --> 00:14:14.320
and like professional architects or even studios

00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:15.880
will benefit from.

00:14:15.880 --> 00:14:18.600
And we have a full history generation

00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:23.480
that keeps your metadata saved.

00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.560
So just a minute.

00:14:31.280 --> 00:14:32.520
Yeah.

00:14:32.520 --> 00:14:37.520
As you can see, when we click on a history,

00:14:37.560 --> 00:14:40.440
maybe I'll open a old one.

00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.640
So this is an old generation saved,

00:14:44.640 --> 00:14:48.600
and I can see what exact settings I used to generate this.

00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.000
So there's always a consistency.

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.240
I don't have to play around, experiment,

00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.080
and hope that I get similar results.

00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:59.720
I can just follow the settings that I previously used,

00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.120
and then I will get the same result, basically.

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.560
So these are my strengths to,

00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.280
I mostly focused on keeping

00:15:09.280 --> 00:15:12.560
the architectural process intact.

00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:15.040
So the human part stays unchanged.

00:15:15.040 --> 00:15:17.400
You still have to design your own models,

00:15:17.400 --> 00:15:20.160
and you have complete creative control

00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:22.080
over the results you see.

00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.160
And AI just makes the process of rendering faster.

00:15:25.160 --> 00:15:27.360
So you don't have to wait four hours

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.440
just to see if the lighting change is okay,

00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.520
or maybe your client has a sudden idea

00:15:33.520 --> 00:15:35.480
that, okay, change the swimming pool,

00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.440
and then you work a week to change the swimming pool.

00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.480
So all of these process can be helped

00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.800
and facilitated with a good AI workflow.

00:15:46.680 --> 00:15:47.520
Thank you.

00:15:47.520 --> 00:15:50.120
So that's the demo of the app.

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:51.320
That's awesome, man.

00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.640
That's crazy you were able to add all those features,

00:15:53.640 --> 00:15:57.320
and like you built kind of,

00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:58.960
to me it appears like a tool

00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.480
that's just like an awesome multi-tool

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.960
for all types of people that are architecture students,

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.520
or interested in design,

00:16:06.520 --> 00:16:07.960
and you've kind of like,

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:10.480
and you, did you study architecture?

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.760
Is that kind of what your inspiration was for like,

00:16:13.760 --> 00:16:15.880
for making a tool for this type of person?

00:16:15.880 --> 00:16:16.840
Go ahead.

00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.400
Yeah, well, I come from a family of artists.

00:16:19.400 --> 00:16:21.160
My dad was an architect,

00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:23.120
but I myself studied computer science.

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.200
So I had an early exposure to architecture and design

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.560
due to my family background.

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:30.000
But then, as I said,

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.720
I have worked due to working in the 3D space.

00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.280
I have also worked in animated TV shows

00:16:38.280 --> 00:16:39.920
as a lead compositor.

00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:42.040
So working with all these 3D tools,

00:16:42.040 --> 00:16:46.800
I had several architectural projects that came under me.

00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:48.080
And I had to,

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.000
over my long career of 10 years,

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.880
I have worked on probably 50 or more architectural projects

00:16:55.880 --> 00:16:57.800
where I had to do exactly the same thing

00:16:57.800 --> 00:17:00.440
that I'm showing you, but without AI.

00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.160
So each render or each architectural,

00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:06.560
I have worked on like mega projects,

00:17:06.560 --> 00:17:09.640
like transport systems,

00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.520
and then whole city generation,

00:17:11.520 --> 00:17:16.520
and then even smaller projects like expo and stall designs.

00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:19.200
And all those experiences,

00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:24.160
I faced the same issue of having to wait two hours overnight

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.920
for just a simple lighting change

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:28.240
or a material has been changed

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.480
and I now have to render it again.

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:32.360
Here, you can just, as I showed,

00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:37.360
you can just fix a simple item within seconds.

00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:42.120
And yeah, so that motivated me.

00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:45.880
And I'm thankful that nowadays we live in an age

00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.400
where it's really possible.

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.480
And of course,

00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.200
this is a tool that has been very meticulously planned.

00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.600
And I knew for sure the challenges

00:17:58.600 --> 00:18:02.360
that a designer might face with AI,

00:18:02.360 --> 00:18:05.200
which is still present with current frontier models.

00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:09.600
And I'm not using GPT or Nano Banana in the backend

00:18:09.600 --> 00:18:11.520
because it's much cheaper than them.

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:18.000
Because even if you run out of free tokens, free credits,

00:18:19.080 --> 00:18:22.360
you can just buy $5 starter packs

00:18:22.360 --> 00:18:24.680
instead of like a monthly subscription.

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:26.480
So you don't have to commit.

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:27.760
You want more generations,

00:18:27.760 --> 00:18:29.920
you can buy one-time packs

00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:34.520
and it gives you hundreds of renders for very cheap.

00:18:34.520 --> 00:18:38.240
And also, as I keep constantly saying,

00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.960
the biggest challenge is keeping true

00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.840
to your own composition, your own design

00:18:42.840 --> 00:18:46.120
without changing what you made in your 3D software.

00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:49.200
Yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah.

00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:50.840
When you're trying to use AI to edit things,

00:18:50.840 --> 00:18:53.440
it really does kind of take a lot of artistic liberty, right?

00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:54.920
So that is a really big difficulty.

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.000
I think if you're an artist

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.080
and you're trying to maintain the integrity

00:18:58.080 --> 00:19:01.520
of whatever it is you're trying to design

00:19:01.520 --> 00:19:02.680
or bring to the world.

00:19:04.040 --> 00:19:04.880
Yes, exactly.

00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.920
Thank you for making it.

00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.880
Yeah, thank you for summarizing what I'm trying to do.

00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:12.600
Yeah, of course.

00:19:12.600 --> 00:19:14.120
So where do you see,

00:19:14.120 --> 00:19:16.360
do you have like additional modifications

00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:17.600
you're planning to make to this?

00:19:17.600 --> 00:19:19.640
Or do you have like a kind of a vision

00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:22.680
for like a roadmap for the product going forward?

00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.040
Or how would you like to see your product grow?

00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:29.160
Yeah, yeah, so definitely.

00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.800
Right now, we currently have three plugins

00:19:31.800 --> 00:19:35.000
to connect with SketchUp, Blender, and ArchiCAD.

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.680
So I first, I targeted the mostly common softwares

00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.280
that 3D designers use.

00:19:42.280 --> 00:19:44.280
And we connect to them,

00:19:44.280 --> 00:19:47.560
but there's a lot more to, for example, 3D Max

00:19:47.560 --> 00:19:52.560
and then Revit or AutoCAD.

00:19:52.560 --> 00:19:56.240
So all these softwares we would like to connect with.

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:58.800
So we are currently developing the plugins

00:19:58.800 --> 00:19:59.840
to connect with them.

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.640
so that you can instantaneously transfer your design

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:08.640
into our web app without having to install anything or,

00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:11.320
yeah, without, like this software,

00:20:11.320 --> 00:20:14.000
there's no installation, it's completely web-based.

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.800
So that we are planning.

00:20:15.800 --> 00:20:18.440
So we have a roadmap for Revit and other softwares.

00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.600
And then later I would like to build

00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:24.920
a full 3D designer itself.

00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.720
So right now the interior 3D that we have,

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.880
it's perfect for interior designs,

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:32.600
as you can see in the demo.

00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:35.640
But we would like to make it,

00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.280
but of course there are challenges

00:20:37.280 --> 00:20:39.360
because this is a complete 3D rendering

00:20:39.360 --> 00:20:42.560
running in your browser and running in the cloud.

00:20:42.560 --> 00:20:45.000
So obviously it has some bottlenecks

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.640
that we are trying to address to make it,

00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:50.160
to optimize it and make it be able

00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:52.660
to make large scale projects.

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:57.080
But those are like challenges we will try to tackle

00:20:57.080 --> 00:20:57.920
in the future.

00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:01.560
But currently I think this,

00:21:01.560 --> 00:21:06.480
the interior designer itself is pretty robust.

00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:09.360
And as I say, one more thing I might have forgot

00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:13.800
that once you generate a floor plan

00:21:13.800 --> 00:21:17.680
from your hand-drawn images,

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.040
you can also export it to DXF.

00:21:21.040 --> 00:21:25.480
And then you can further edit it in your own 3D software.

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:30.480
So no 3D software currently like SketchUp or ArchiCAD

00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.840
allows you to import a hand-drawn image

00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:36.640
and then converts it into an editable file.

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.880
But our web app can also just work as a bridge,

00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.440
which is completely free.

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:46.440
So yes, there are, as I said, expansion plans,

00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:50.440
but maybe in another six months,

00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.080
we hope to bring more changes to that.

00:21:56.040 --> 00:21:58.920
Yeah, I mean, that sounds like pretty big.

00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:02.080
You have like a pretty detailed roadmap of, I think,

00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:03.920
like different products you want to connect it to

00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.000
and ways to kind of improve it and bring it out to the world

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:12.000
and make it more useful or give it more utility

00:22:13.280 --> 00:22:17.720
to people that are focused on design.

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.880
Do you have like, so who do you think this product

00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:21.240
would fit very well with?

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.120
Like with like what type of people,

00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:25.720
like, okay, obviously architecture students,

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:28.080
what other types of people do you think

00:22:28.080 --> 00:22:29.880
would be your ideal market for this?

00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.720
Yeah, first bracket is, of course, architecture.

00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:38.720
Anyone related to architecture, even big firms,

00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:41.200
like architectural design firms,

00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:42.520
it is super useful to them.

00:22:42.520 --> 00:22:46.400
And then, of course, the traditional designers,

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:51.400
because although we, like we predominantly

00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.720
connect to architectural softwares like SketchUp, Blender,

00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:02.640
but Blender also, like people are making

00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.560
full feature length movies in Blender.

00:23:05.560 --> 00:23:08.800
And this could also be useful to them,

00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:11.880
like people in the creative art media

00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:14.040
who makes short films or music videos,

00:23:14.040 --> 00:23:16.720
they can, without, sorry.

00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:21.280
So without, even Blender takes a long time to render.

00:23:21.280 --> 00:23:23.760
So if they want quick iterations,

00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:25.720
or like the Blender artists, they want to see,

00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:27.680
okay, what if I use this material,

00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:32.680
or this color tone, or this kind of lighting?

00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:38.080
They can iterate pretty fast on this web app,

00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:40.280
and then they go back to the traditional

00:23:40.280 --> 00:23:42.560
Blender rendering workflows.

00:23:42.560 --> 00:23:45.520
So this is also useful for other sorts of artists,

00:23:45.520 --> 00:23:48.760
AI artists, because we have this upload function

00:23:48.800 --> 00:23:52.560
where you can possibly, just for an example,

00:23:52.560 --> 00:23:57.560
maybe I can show you like a hands-on cartoon.

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:05.440
I mean, of course, we always promote

00:24:05.760 --> 00:24:10.760
to use non-copyrighted stuff.

00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.520
But this is just an example.

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:20.400
So, and then if I upload that image,

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:25.640
so this is, and I use photorealistic,

00:24:26.560 --> 00:24:31.560
I will say maybe night interior,

00:24:31.800 --> 00:24:36.800
or dusk ambient, and I will call it landscape.

00:24:36.800 --> 00:24:41.800
And then I generate Blender.

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.160
Yeah, so as I said, it's, now you can see.

00:24:59.560 --> 00:25:00.400
Wow.

00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:01.480
Can you see how?

00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:02.320
Yeah.

00:25:02.320 --> 00:25:06.240
So it kept the, so even with like, as I said,

00:25:06.560 --> 00:25:09.720
like frontier AI models, there might be changes

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:14.720
to the actual input source that you provide the AI model,

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:17.240
which you don't want.

00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:21.400
But here, as you can see, even the rock behind her,

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:24.200
the shape of it is completely preserved.

00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:29.200
The, what you call this, algae, like the plants,

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.600
the plants itself gives their shape,

00:25:32.600 --> 00:25:37.480
and the skin tones, everything remains the same.

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:42.680
And so, yeah, it has massive use,

00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:47.240
like the same workflow can apply to all kinds of AI artists,

00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:51.360
just because of the custom workflow that I designed

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.680
using multiple models and loaders.

00:25:58.840 --> 00:25:59.680
Yeah.

00:26:03.520 --> 00:26:04.480
That's awesome.

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.800
That is really the fidelity in which it's able

00:26:07.800 --> 00:26:10.440
to capture details and just like really even bring out

00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:13.120
like very small details in the original art.

00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:16.360
Like that algae plant in the back, that's kind of faded,

00:26:16.360 --> 00:26:20.240
the way it can kind of just bring that to life is crazy.

00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:22.520
Yeah.

00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:25.760
Well, awesome.

00:26:26.800 --> 00:26:28.200
Yeah, go ahead.

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:30.880
I'm glad I could test this out in front of you,

00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.880
because I have not really tried it

00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.160
with outside the architectural domain,

00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.240
but this can, now that you see the capability of it,

00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:44.760
it can be useful in also game art design,

00:26:44.760 --> 00:26:48.400
like for game designers, just to all,

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.960
or to, you know, have a very rough layout

00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.120
and then generate concept arts for games,

00:26:56.120 --> 00:26:59.400
like finished results, so that you can quickly

00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.720
get a better idea of your,

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.640
you can bring your idea out of your head

00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:06.520
and then have it visualized.

00:27:07.560 --> 00:27:08.600
So, yeah.

00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:16.040
The, that's, that's amazing.

00:27:16.040 --> 00:27:18.480
No, this is really, this is really, really cool.

00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:23.280
The, it's amazing you're able to do this on your own,

00:27:23.280 --> 00:27:25.160
or you have a small team that's working on this,

00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:27.600
or this is just you, you're a one man army.

00:27:28.600 --> 00:27:31.000
No, it's, it is just, yes.

00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:33.600
I mean, I started developing this

00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:37.920
while I was also developing another app with,

00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.880
it was a 3D app for phones with a full team.

00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.240
So that obviously helped, because, I mean,

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.720
obviously none of them worked on this project,

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:50.400
but to have, like, to work with,

00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:51.920
because I'm a solo developer,

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:56.920
but then you need to be mindful about the UI, the UX,

00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.480
and because I had, I was working with a full team

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.320
at that time, so many of those experiences

00:28:03.320 --> 00:28:08.040
at my previous job helped me design it better.

00:28:08.040 --> 00:28:11.880
And yes, it took months and months of bug fixing,

00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.680
and I'm currently, I think it's six months

00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:19.560
in production now, but to be able to do this

00:28:19.560 --> 00:28:22.520
in six months, it couldn't be,

00:28:22.520 --> 00:28:26.160
it's unimaginable pre-AI era.

00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.800
So, because I, so yeah, so I had,

00:28:30.800 --> 00:28:33.800
I used VS code for most of the coding,

00:28:33.800 --> 00:28:38.800
but then I have co-pilot, like GitHub co-pilot to help me.

00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.280
So yeah, it's millions of lines,

00:28:41.280 --> 00:28:44.880
I mean, hundreds of thousands of lines of code,

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:46.800
and yes, I did it solo.

00:28:46.800 --> 00:28:50.400
But obviously I have several shipped apps

00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:54.880
on the Play Store and Mac App Store, iPhone App Store,

00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:59.280
so my previous experience has definitely helped.

00:28:59.280 --> 00:29:00.120
Yeah.

00:29:00.120 --> 00:29:02.720
Yeah, it seems like this kind of product is natural

00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:06.200
given your kind of background within your family

00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.920
and within your previous work experiences.

00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:09.760
Yeah.

00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.160
Well, I'm definitely gonna feature this on our website.

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.480
We're gonna put this interview on the Hire AI website,

00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:20.040
and then any artists that come into our network,

00:29:20.040 --> 00:29:22.040
hopefully they'll find it, and as I'm talking

00:29:22.040 --> 00:29:23.600
with people and kind of doing this interview series,

00:29:23.600 --> 00:29:27.600
I'll recommend it, anybody else doing any design projects,

00:29:27.600 --> 00:29:29.560
and hopefully I can help kind of just set up

00:29:29.560 --> 00:29:34.480
some connections for you, you know, that are useful,

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.600
you know, or any partnerships or anything like that.

00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:39.440
And aside from just like additional users,

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:41.600
is there anybody else that you're like looking for

00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:44.800
to like collaborate with on this project

00:29:44.800 --> 00:29:46.240
or anything like that?

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:47.240
Yeah.

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:51.960
Yeah, I have found several architecture-based influencers

00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:54.760
who are like on YouTube and TikTok,

00:29:54.760 --> 00:29:58.400
and I am in the process of emailing each of them,

00:29:58.400 --> 00:29:59.920
which is taking a long time.

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.640
know to to reach out to creators and so I am looking forward to uh because the creators are

00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:14.480
usually they are much experienced users of these AI sort of tools and yeah so I'm looking to

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:20.800
collaborate with AI creators or like just architectural artists but as you can see also

00:30:20.800 --> 00:30:29.040
like game designers and anyone in the AI art uh genre yeah I'm looking to collaborate with them

00:30:29.840 --> 00:30:40.800
and um yeah that's basically it that's awesome um that is that is so cool yeah I will uh yeah I so

00:30:40.800 --> 00:30:44.400
I'll keep that in mind as I'm kind of uh interviewing people making new connections

00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.400
on our platform and everything like that so if I can help set you up with any game designers

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:54.240
people that are uh interested in in uh AI development similar uh focused on image

00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:59.360
generation or anything like that yeah I'll uh I'll definitely send them your way and or at least

00:30:59.360 --> 00:31:06.480

I'll edit this but you can also make an outro I'll edit this but you can also make an outro and

00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:41.440
then I'll make an edit cut of this and then if it uh if it fits within my algorithm that makes the

00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:46.800
edit cuts and I'll add the outro there so yeah why don't you give a little outro yeah yeah um thank

00:31:46.800 --> 00:31:54.560
you mark for your time and obviously thank you to hire a platform to allow us to connect and uh
