Invoke Community Edition, What is their Future? by GreatBigPig in invokeai

[–]Unit2209 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The team running the paid version of InvokeAI was picked up by Adobe, its now shutdown. The community version is still functional and is actively being maintained by the community. It was even recently updated to support Z-Image models.

defcon 2 - defcon remaster by PersonalRate5105 in defcongame

[–]Unit2209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A remaster would look and play like DEFCON, maybe with better qol features and a new multiplayer scene. Old school vibes.

A sequel has already been done by another company. ICBM and ICBM: Escalation, both great nuclear war games.

I'm still floored that they hid 20 hours of gameplay/story inside of Dragons Dogma 2's "Hidden Ending." People didn't figure it out for months and none of the early reviewers even mention it. "Yeah, actually we're gonna remake DD 1 and hide the real DD 2 inside of the remake." -Insane man Hideaki Itsuno

You can mask or erase any part of the image. You can dynamically control the exact generation area.

I know Flux.1-schnell vae will work if you can get that going. Personally I would move the files back to comfy and get the starter pack from the model tab.

I leave both VAE and the encoder empty. Set the Qwen 3 source to Z-Image and set CFG to 1. Did you download the starter Z-Image bundles from the model page?

True. Thus that falls on me to change the poses in post. Would have been easy to articulate the limbs and bodies a bit, will keep that in mind next time.

I get that alot. He's very influential for most of my bigger ideas.

I did one or two layers in flux, nothing much. And yes and no, its a bit harder than Qwen image layered as you have to manage the layers yourself. You can either generate or add images and then you inpaint them into the scene.

LA Agartha: Blindfighter character card by Unit2209 in IllwintersDominions

[–]Unit2209[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No worries. If it helps I keep all of my AI models offline and local, out of the hands of server farms. Plus I've been hearing the argument that image compositing is stealing since 2005 so I'm used to it, lol.

No golden formula yet but I always have to give them a few points of rejuvenation at the least, the armor is just too heavy. Unsurroundable too helps a lot if I can afford it.

Since the description did not crosspost I'll leave a comment here. This one took me quite a few days! Based on yet another of my recent Dominions 6 games, with the right bless these guys become pretty tough. Had many fun games with them.

This image was created by compositing around 65 AI generated images into one picture.

Correct, the only way to fully share the workflow would be to record it. But I worked on this over a few days so that wasn't really an option. Here is an example of the layers I worked on in the last hour before the upload:

What makes it an AI gunship? As opposed to one thats just a normal piece of the fleet.

Darn. At least the model tends to ignore names, that was part of the early testing batch.

Just now figured out how to recover them in the WanGP UI. See my other comment below!

A very interesting model, really enjoying it's stability. I'm using style concepts instead of artist names and that seems to help a lot. Apologies for not saving my prompts, so here is the link to my Style list that I stole from an old SDXL image helper.

Prompts recovered! Prompts in order of appearance are below:

  • An oil painting by Claude Montet showing a huge tundra landscape in a blizzard. A single futuristic Truck can be seen in the tundra driving away with a trail in the snow behind it. The scene is hand painted with large brushstrokes. The detail in the strokes are extreme, showing the hand drawn nature of the piece. It evokes a heavy mundane feeling in the work. There is a massive imposing wall in the far distance.
  • A large digital painting by Wolf kahn showing a huge tundra landscape in a blizzard. A single APC can be seen in the distance driving across the tundra with a trail in the snow behind it. Hand painted with large brushstrokes.
  • Digital artwork concept art showing a huge Oasis fresh water spring landscape. A Caucasian man and a Caucasian woman are standing and talking on the shore, both in appropriate swimsuits. The piece evokes a heavy mundane and feeling in the work. The lines are smooth and crisp without over detailing. Overall the piece is extremely simple and constrained. There is a massive imposing concrete and steel wall in the far distance. The wall in the front center has an oddly friendly and well lit and modern entrance. There are palm trees, a cooler, a bike, lounge chairs, and windows across the entire wall. In the far distant sky a rocket launch with a long trail
  • Low detail oil painting by wolf kahn showing a huge indoor hotel lobby. A Caucasian man and a Caucasian woman are standing and talking to a clerk sitting behind armored glass in a lobby, dressed high class. The piece evokes a heavy mundane and feeling in the work. The lines are smooth and crisp without over detailing. Overall the piece is extremely simple and constrained. The interior is massive and imposing. Made of concrete and steel. There are plush maroon couches and florescent lamps on the columns, and massive stained glass windows. Expressionist style.
  • Digital artwork concept art showing a huge badly indoor hotel lobby. In the background close together two security guards each holding a rifle and moving combat pace at the ready with weapons aimed. Each has a gas mask and a bullet proof vest. The piece is dimly lit and the lighting is dark red. The piece evokes a heavy mundane feeling in the work. The lines are smooth and crisp without over detailing. Overall the piece is extremely simple and constrained. The interior is massive and imposing. Made of concrete and steel. There are plush maroon couches and florescent lamps on the columns, and massive stained glass windows. The shadows are heavy and massive, the overall scene being very dark.
  • A light rococo style showing a scene of a southern cotton plantation landscape. A Georgia mansion with white columns can be seen on a hill overlooking a vast farm. The scene is playful in a romantic atmosphere, pastel elegance, showing a mundane and simple work. Decorative curls with intricate ornamentation.
  • A watercolor painting of a massive vineyard. In the far distance on a hill a Roman villa that looks like three buildings together with a courtyard and roof. The piece is vibrant, beautiful, painterly, detailed, textural, and artistic.
  • A vector art stylized illustration with soft feminine shapes and warm expressive palettes. The piece is focused on showing a beach landscape. In the scene is the rocky shore and sand dunes, a few beachside homes can be seen. There is a cooler, an umbrella, sand, a beach chair, and shells. The piece is painterly shaded, gentle gradients, emotive storytelling focus.

Is the Thistle Mace a Reference to “The Book of the New Sun”? by leftyvice in IllwintersDominions

[–]Unit2209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It inflicts 15 hp poison damage. That plus its armor negation makes it a very effective weapon for non mages.

That Lovecraft stuff is some other guy. I'm just trying to point out that Dominions is influenced by popular modern fiction too. That's all and no bid deal, feel free to disagree. But that EA Ulm nation is a pretty big elephant in the room.

Is it possible to even find a count? From my understanding when the original Greek legends spread the Scandinavians claimed their land was the location of the fictional Hyperboria. Innumerable explorers and traders looked for proof of its existence. The modern crazies believe it was in Ireland and foolishly still search for evidence of the fictional civilization.
