Combining my brick sets with AI backdrops

Personally, I'm not at all skilled with the arts, not good at sketching, drawing, painting or even photography.  So when I can take some of my brick builds and use AI to create some cool backdrops, I'm all in.   I know this is a sore spot for some folks, but hey I'm not making a living using AI or making money from it. I just use it to complement my building block sets for my own enjoyment.  Hope you can all appreciate that.

In the above picture, I've placed three of my Lumibricks sets together and asked AI to generate a cyberpunk backdrop.  That's the one you see in the first picture.  Love the Blade Runner vibe that the AI generated, I didn't even ask for blade runner, but somehow it read my mind.

In this picture, I've got my entire collection of Cyberpunk and Japanese themed modulars lined up and had AI generate the background as well.

Here's a cool setup where I asked AI to generate an industrial complex for the background for the Lesdiy Custom Clone Turbo Tank.

And this is the original source picture I took.

For my animated billboard, I asked AI to generate some pictures of a Lego minifigure Geisha drinking a coke.

Ultimately, this was the perfect image I decided to go with for my billboard.

Here's the full writeup: https://bricksandfigs.blogspot.com/2025/08/how-i-made-animated-ai-billboard-for-my.html

Here are some AI renders of the Lumibricks Cyberpunk Apartment complex.

And here is the source picture.

AI generated an urban setting for my Sembo Hong Kong flats modular building.

Based upon my photo.

Here's a cool AI rendered picture of my Downtown Diner at sunset.

Generated from this source picture.

Let me know what you think of the AI generated pics and backdrops.  Take it or leave it?

Thanks for looking, bye!

Story Time featuring the Lumibricks Cyberpunk Police Urban Convoy and the Police HQ

 

It all started with a daring escape from the prison bus that was enroute to a maximum security prison.  Several prisoners overcame the guards and burst out of the back of the bus!   Time to make their escape.

Meanwhile over at the Police HQ, sally had just returned to her desk when the alarms sounded indicating that a prison bus was compromised.

Letting the prisoners escape was not an option, so she called down to the garage bay to see if they could dispatch one of the Police convoys to capture the fugitive.

Hank was on shift in the police HQ garage and took the call.  Right away he summoned a police vehicle to the bay.

The autonomous police convoy truck pulled out of it's parking location and into the bay to load up on ammunition before heading out.

Just by gesturing at the vehicle, officer Pete could summon the truck to come out of the bay.  

Alright, time to get into the urban convoy and capture a felon!

The quickest way to get to the scene is via hover mode!

Meanwhile in Lumicity, surveillance cameras at the Neon City Apartment complex had detected the fugitive through facial recognition.  

With the location data provided by the surveillance cameras, the police robo-dog was dispatched to the Neon City apartments.

Within moments, the police convoy truck arrived at the scene.

Apparently the fugitive was going to get something to eat from the vending machine, only to find out that it was out of service.

Cornered by the robo-dog and the two police officers, the felon decided he was too hungry to resist arrest.

Felon arrested!

As the police placed the suspect into the security capsule, all the felon could think about was food.

Will they feed him at the police headquarters?

Upon his arrival at the police HQ, he was taken to processing.

Smile for the camera!

The felon is placed into the upper holding cell until the next prisoner transport bus arrives in the morning.

Has the fugitive been captured for good this time?  Only time will tell!

These are the chronicles from the Cyberpunk Police files!
