Following on from fictional engineers I couldn’t help wondering whether the iconic ‘things’ of a subject have any influence on the stereotypes? You see, when people say biology then the iconic DNA double helix appears in my head and similarly the LHC or space for physics. Yet for some reason we are not really as specific as this for engineering.

Imagerelighting

There’s always been an aspect of engineering involved in bringing science to everyone, letting them see the wonders that otherwise would be the preserve of the top scientists in research institutions. As telescopes and binoculars let people people see the stars, so ultrasound technology lets people actually see their own child in development. That familiar image of a foetus as viewed by ultrasound should be remembered not just as an iconic medical image but one enabled by engineering.

At first glance this scene is incredible when you think how far AI generative technology has come in only a few years. The quality of the wood texture around the base of the bottle is very detailed, and the lighting of the bottle does match the colour and contrast of the newly synthesized background.

There was a time when civil engineers played with coastlines just to keep places from flooding or crumbling away entirely. Then there came Dubai, viewing the desert as a genuine sandbox to create what it felt like. That should be empty coastline desert were it not for engineering.

I would advise looking at the full image somehow and zooming in and in and in and then look up the sky and realise that all of that is up there, we just needed the power of technology to make seeing just a section of it possible.

For most, engineering tends to be some sort of cogs and gears and indeed this is what Google Images assumes you want when you type in “engineering”, suggesting also “engineering cars” as a common related search term as many of us viewing bridges and vehicles as the main interests of the world of engineering out there. Does the field of science that actually results in products not have any better ‘mascots’ to represent it?

No matter what minor changes are made to the Google homepage design, nothing takes away from the revolutionary ad-free white page, simple blue links and its famous logo, occasionally turned Google Doodle, in the middle. The company shows both the power of the internet but also the freedom and novelty of modern engineering.

The history of photographic and film equipment is a long and slow one, every engineer/inventor contributing just a tiny bit to its development, but eventually it was good enough for Muybridge to help Stanford win his bet about whether horses’ feet lifted entirely off the ground in these famous series of photographs. This was the moment when the technology had eventually become better than the human equivalent, able to discern the moment that we couldn’t.

Relight

I placed our bottle on a simple black wood table against a white wall in the office kitchen for easy background separation. No lighting was used in the setup other than the natural light coming through two large windows on either side of the wall. I wanted to see how the program would handle a photo without relying on professional lighting.

We got man on the Moon! … Or did we? We are reminded of the real political motivations for this feat of engineering by the focus of the image on the US flag, the space race showing that the state of your engineering industry can be representative of the power of a country.

The lens first devised by Augustin Fresnel (pronounced fraynel) (1788-1827) is a beehive shape of concentric annular sections that cast parallel beams of light.

The Vacanti Mouse is the sort of image that stays in your head for some time once you learn that it is real and not edited, although it is worth noting that it was not a result of genetic engineering. Both impressive and yet disturbing, engineering now works with living organisms as a resource for better or worse.

Can you achieve a professional look by relighting an image with this AI tool? I don’t think so. At least, not when it comes to glass product photography. But it’s getting wildly close.

Using a text prompt to describe a wine tasting room with warm lighting, I used many of the default settings that can be tweaked to produce the result like the render engine, and lighting quality.

Despite issues with generating small text, the AI did manage to mostly preserve the large text on the bottle. Even the seal of New Zealand on the right hand side remains in place after the image re-render.

Where Magnific AI ReLight fell short, Adobe photoshop was able to pickup the slack and take the best of both images.

There are two main paths you can take to relight an image with Magnific. 1) keep the original image and just relight it. Or replace the background of the image and relight the subject to that new AI generated background. Since this was our first test, I thought ‘why not try the background replacement as well?’.

A new program that has caught our attention at Resonate is Magnific Relight, a tool that, at its basic level, claims to take a photo subject, and relight it using either a text prompt or a visual reference.

From an altitude of 65 miles, before the Space Race had even begun, a camera on a V-2 missile took the first photographs of Earth as seen from space. It has since been overshadowed by the many colour NASA photos but the need to look back at ourselves and not just further out to space has been important for many fields such as meteorology and this pioneering piece of work deserves more credit.

All in all, for what could be redone in around 10 minutes of work (without a brief) I was very impressed. It’s still not perfect, but could approach 90% of a presentable result after some tweaks in photoshop.  I will certainly be keeping a close eye on this tool and experimenting with it for pre-visualisation references.

The shape of a wind turbine has come to represent all the ongoing debates and arguments and campaigns involved in the pursuit of renewable energy. The minimalist design is controversially too ugly for the countryside and coast but it has become the reassuringly familiar icon of many things ‘eco-friendly’.

It may appear a dull Victorian vehicle but Robert Stephenson’s Rocket locomotive represents all the brilliant inventions to come out of the Industrial Revolution. Not the first steam engine but with its quirky shape and massive influence on generations of steam engines to come, it really showed the engineering drive to design bigger, faster, stronger that still persist today.

So for professional results of a briefed assignment, you would still need to take the proper care to light the product in a deliberate way and have the photography skills to capture it authentically.

The squared paper and scrawly handwriting of Moore’s hand drawn graph to illustrate the most influential theory of technological development in the 20th and 21st centuries.

This feels reminiscent of other image generation tools like Adobe Photoshop’s Generative Expand tool that falls over when attempting to reproduce text elements.

So, finding that the internet had once again failed me, I set about making me own list of engineering images that I believe either are, or should be, iconic and represent the awesomeness we have actually achieved so far! I have loosely used the term images to include those that are not necessarily known through a specific photograph or drawing.

Even the newer generations currently being raised with fancy digital HD televisions know the grey pixels of a static television screen. The shared global recognition of this pattern captures the international nature of technology and its influence.

Taking the original wine bottle image and the output relight image from Magnific, I went to photoshop to give the experiment one last chance. After playing with different layers and transparency settings, I was able to combine them; keep much more of the details of the bottle, but transfer both the colour and some of the light contrast and quality to the original image.

The problem with both the background and subject image being re-rendered, is the potential loss of quality of the product image which is apparent.

As a visual creative, this had me massively intrigued and skeptical of what was possible to create and what quality can be produced with this new toolset. So armed with an iPhoneSE and a spare bottle of wine from the cupboard I set up our laboratory.

Photocopiers are a good example of engineering that has become so key and common that we no longer appreciate it fully, assuming it will be always be there when we need it.

The first untethered spacewalk is the long descendant of the Wright brothers’ photo, inspiring feelings of awe at the sight of a single fragile man against the curvature of our blue planet.

While there are countless AI tools sprouting across the internet, those focused on content creation continue to inspire and shift the perspective of what’s possible. While not a replacement for human ideas, ingenuity, and expertise, it has undoubtedly helped save time in the creative process.

If this tool does indeed have the legs to produce commercially viable results, why not start with a challenge. Glass is a hard medium to light correctly. From reflections, to opacity, and colour, there are many qualities of a glass product that can cause headaches even for experienced photographers to capture authentically.

Looking closely at the light quality, I found that the reflections in the glass were not replaced with new light sources. Instead, they had their appearance altered through contrast and color adjustments. In this case the output image did not represent the artificial environment in the reflections, but rather retained reflections of the kitchen.

Check out some of my other results prompting a sandy tropical beach, and in the cold icy landscape of Antarctica. What do you think?

They actually did it. They learnt to fly. That flimsy looking plane represents for so many how engineering achieves the impossible.

The other scientists may discover lots of cool things but it takes an engineer to make something useful out of those discoveries. Wilhelm Röntgen’s x-ray photograph of his wife’s hand was pioneering the trend of taking niche advanced physics and creating a practical medical tool out of it.

Looking closer, you can clearly see some imperfections stand out. The most surprising of all was the small text on the bottom left bottle label which has been removed and replaced with gibberish.

There have been a few different places across the internet trying to make lists of important science images, the most well known probably being the discussion over at Quora . Most of these lists are dominated by iconic NASA images (especially the various top physics photos lists) or things relating to DNA if biology is involved. There were a few lists of iconic structures but other engineering achievements thrown in with the mix of general science lists.
