What is Mraukoo?

The capital of the Mrauk U Kingdom, which ruled the region from the 15th to the 18th century. The most famous structure in Mrauk U is the Shittaung Pagoda, which means "80,000 pagodas" in Burmese, although the actual number is much lower. Mrauk U was an important center of trade and culture during its heyday.Mrauk U has historical significance and attracts archaeologists, historians, and tourists interested in exploring the rich cultural heritage of the region.

Why did we choose to do this?

When we prompted the stable diffusion model to generate an image of Mrauk U, it produced a representation that did not accurately reflect the architectural and cultural characteristics of Mrauk U. This refinement process is undertaken to enhance the model's capability to generate realistic and contextually appropriate representations of specific landmarks or locations, in this case, Mrauk U.

How to create prompt:

When we create prompt for bagan, we have to consider 6 keywords. Those are Subject, Medium, Style, Art-sharing website, Resolution, and Additional details.

Subject -> What you want to see in the picture is the subject. Not writing enough about the subjects is a common error.

Medium -> The medium is the substance that artists work with. Illustration, oil painting, 3D rendering, and photography are a few examples. The impact of Medium is significant because a single keyword can significantly alter the style.

Style -> The image's artistic style is referred to as the style. Pop art, impressionist, and surrealist are a few examples.

Art-sharing website -> Specialty graphic websites like Deviant Art and Artstation compile a large number of images from various genres. One surefire way to direct the image toward these styles is to use them as a prompt.

Resolution -> Resolution represents how sharp and detailed the image is

Additional Details -> Sweeteners added to an image are additional details. To give the image a more dystopian and sci-fi feel, we will add those elements.

The example prompt for general bagan is: bagan, a creepy and eery Halloween setting, with Jack o lanterns on the street and shadow figures lurking about, dynamic lighting, photorealistic fantasy concept art, stunning visuals, creative, cinematic, ultra detailed, trending on art station, spooky vibe. That prompt gives you the Halloween theme.

We can't generate a photo of a human.

Other Work:

Note: These other works are not included in this version.

In our exploration of image generation, we delve into the architectural marvels of Myanmar, featuring iconic landmarks such as Ananda, Shwezigon, Bupaya and Thatbyinnyu. Each structure stands as a testament to the rich cultural and historical tapestry of the region, captured through the lens of our innovative text-to-image generator, General Bagan and Mraukoo.
