Testing Orega coworking in new Google Flow site

Renderings based on coworking firm Orega's City Point location, London.

I was interested in how the new video model lineup at Google Flow might have changed again since it recently changed so much with the release of Omni Flash.

I won't cover again how the ability to make seamless "intelligent" transitions between clips is still missing in Flow, which I covered in two recent posts. But I have sent that information in a structured summary to Flow again recently.

My focus here was to experiment with an architecture-only model, since in the Omni Flash videos the focus is on the people rather than the design of the office interior.

Here I noticed that when I remove people from an Omni Flash video the model fails; seems to rely on people to help "steer" the process and when you remove people is unstable, can't maintain geometric accuracy.

Veo 3.1 Fast, however, can handle it well, make a nice accurate video of interior architecture only, as seen above.

Nano Banana Pro rendering based on SketchUp image. Used as base for videos clips. Rendering based on Orega Citypoint coworking space, UK.
A frame from Google Flow video, Omni Flash model. Omni tends to be cinematic and focus on characters, rather than the environment.
SketchUp image of the space featuring an impressive arcade finished in manufactured rift-cut wood, used as a room divider, and a Merdian Infinity modular serpentine sofa.
Google Flow 10-second video of the space, using Omni Flash model, including people. Omni tends to focus on the people (and is a leap in realism for people).
Video looking at only furniture and interior architecture, no people. Processed with Flow's Veo 3.1 Fast. Pretty successful result, compared to the Omni Flash video, below. (Veo 3.1 Fast also does a nice balanced job when people are included.)
Video clip without people, processed with Flow's Omni Flash model. Video is inaccurate; some feedback from Flow on website chat suggested the absense of people does affect the ability of the program to steer the video.
