Modern Props

Once upon a time, in Hollywood.... there was a company known as Modern Props.They rented prop items out to the big studios who were in the business of making TV shows and Movies. And while most of their inventory was rather ordinary, what they are remembered for mostly are a series of high-tech computer and technology props used throughout the late 70's and into the 1990's. If you have watched any television or movies from the late 70's to late 90's, you have seen these props.Just a brief list of where you will have seen them includes Buck Rogers, V, Automan, Riptide, Knight Rider, Star Trek II, Star Trek TNG, and the movie The Last Starfighter (the list goes on from there).They are lamentably no more, however just before they closed, I had access to their catalog which included all the measurements of all the various pieces. And I took it upon myself to create 3D model replicas of a number of them, for my own amusement.Using these replicas, I have now generated a sequence of thirty training images, and thereby trained a couple models on them.They are slightly overtrained, but this was done deliberately. At strengths of 0.7 and higher, they largely ignore any keywords and just generate rooms full of computer equipment. At strengths of 0.6 and below, they can be used as a sort of flavoring, mixed in with other concepts to give them an 80's technological sheen.All this was done purely for the sake of experimenting, and I may revisit this model at some point, and train it to be used at full strength, but for now, here it is, as it is.A final note - the keyword L4R50N (that's a zero, BTW) was chosen as a minor tribute to television producer Glen Larson of Knight Rider and Battlestar Galactica fame, who made great use of those Modern props across his many and varied television series.
