Those sort of dark stripes from blocked wheels racing cars do in turns. Could somebody suggest one and what the hell should be the promt wording . Whatever I try come with something pathetic looking . Photoshop can generate something quite nicely looking in regular perspective camera , still unusable due to low res but when I try to nudge it to top camera ortho style image it does an utter crap. Midjourney and anything else I tried do something cartoon style fancy looking or wilde . Chat GPT draws me pictures of something repetitive and so weird looking always on sort of concrete blocks for some uncertain reason having not even a hint it might be of a real world.
Where is all that AI generative power when you need it ?
Those damn decals always looks like someone draw them with one dub brush in photoshop by a low dpi mouse. So I hoped that's the areas where AI would shine.

Try to generate closest thing you can with photoshop and then try to improve the quality/resolution by upscaling and inpainting with MJ or SD.
With SD you can use comfyUI to get more control over the process. There are installers that take care of most tedious convoluted parts and dump ~60Gb of stuff on your PC. You would still need to figure out how to work with its node system. Or if your are lucky maybe someone already made one.
Imho SD generates not as pretty as MJ, but can run locally so NDA-friendly if you care about that. You can use controlNets that allow you to guide images by depth masks, contours, style example image etc
MJ is much easier to use and does a better job, but usually not what you want.
Designer graph will probably give you best result if you are willing to put a lot of time into it. But you will have full control over every step and you only need to make it once to get guaranteed coherent results feeding it different splines as input.
I'd personally use "top down" instead of ortho (which is short for orthographic anyway), and isn't really a common term outside of 3D.
Maybe something like "Top down view of tire skid-marks" or, if the turning aspect is important, "Top down view of tire turning skid-marks", and tack on other important words I may have left out (racetrack, nascar, whatever)
Other than that, make sure to add terms for what you are actually expecting to see and in which context this would have been part of the training data, e.g. texture, decal, brush pack
Also.. found this almost the same way:

https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning/tutorials/lMxR/unreal-engine-car-skid-marks-tutorial
Mostly it's about "painting" the tire profile on the asphalt and in curves maybe make this a bit more blurry..
So if there is not enough data which provides good context maybe simply because you do not know some other term for it or it wasn't search before and there is no previous build search context you will not find some good results. This may have been changed some days or even week later.
Also AI is a product which is presented in the best light.. remember when scanning your disk with scandisk on windows.. 30 years ago ??
> The scan did not find any errors..
..while your disk is screwed ?? It's the same with AI.. it will never tell you:
> I only got this bad results because i may not completely understand your request.
In fact you can see this a bit when you ask the AI to do it a bit better and when it start answering with some apology. So it "understand" that it has answered badly ?? And now apologize ??? It's some psychological trick to not make go away and continue to use it.
Ever thought about when the time comes and everyone have to pay for some AI work.. of course after noone can do this thing what differs us humans form the animals... thinking. (At least we think so
This is a good example to tell those managers (?) who told you to use AI: "Well i can but then it does cost you more of my time and if i'm not wrong about this you initially did hire me because i can do this and this is not any kind of insult but you.. not ? But.. who know maybe someone will have the idea to replace the managers by some AI.."
But.. of course this all depends on the circumstances.
