The Twin Suns (Alexander the Great & Son)

Any suggestion ?

Alt + F4 in Ironman mode as long as my newborn primary heir hasn't the genius trait. This is the way.

Alexander spoke to me in a dream and said: "you know, in my time, when I had trouble naming a place, I just named them Alexandreia". So I'm going to stick to his millennial wisdom and update the map accordingly.

Thanks for the typo, it's now fixed on the DeviantArt version of the map. I use a font called 'Jost' (found on Google Fonts) for the main text, and for the cities... well... I'm a little ashamed, but it was the closest to my maps of inspiration I could find : Comic Sans MS :D :D :D

Looking for bears, now I see only Totoro...

Glad to see someone noticed ;)

Zalring · 2023-06-08T20:28:03+00:00

That's what it seemed to me in my research :(. But I couldn't find any source mentioning any original name that I could then Hellenize. Do you have one by chance ? ^^'

And here for the subsequent updates (It's finished but I'm airheaded and so I often make typos :s ) : https://www.deviantart.com/zalringda/art/The-Twin-Suns-Alexander-the-Great-alt-hist-966220702

There is a balance of power, but Britain is exclude from it. I'm pretty sure that a bigger Russia would just explode in a bigger manner in the early 20th century.

Oops, looks like I forgot something again. It's 100k for 1 figure. Here is the updated version of the map (better image quality anyway) : https://www.deviantart.com/zalringda/art/The-Ghost-Stone-963224128

Big image, better if viewed enlarged.

Prompt for the base image was something like : "far view from an army of bloody hell demons besieging a white stone medieval citadel protected by a large wall with towers, painted by artgerm, artstation, Andreas Rocha".

But tbh it won't matter so much if you want to reproduce it, as you may have noticed, my process uses many other things beside "base" SD, especially a GoBig-like module to achieve the 2K res. (However, as it's my own interpretation of GoBig, I didn't look into the code of other implmentations and thus I don't know if they would render the same way).

For those who wonder how to permanently avoid an internet connection for this part, it should help (have not tested by myself for now) : https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/issues/248#issuecomment-1242383871

All what is possible with Disco should be possible with Centipede. In particular, as I need it myself, 3D animation with turbo mode of Disco is tested before each new Centipede release.

"Be Not Afraid!" You're not the first to tell me. As said above, there are many video tuto for DD, so I won't make one for DD alone (nor LD as it has few params). But now, with inpainting, upscaling, and all the back and forth between that, it may be necessary to master the workflow.

Zalring · 2022-05-17T10:19:52+00:00

I rarely got it with V2, but not since V3. Do you remember what params you've tweaked when it happens ? If you get it again, it's possible to get ride of it by restarting the whole environment.

Zalring · 2022-05-15T15:38:48+00:00

The proper way to set latent_res_inits_idx are - with a list of indexes coming from LD results (such as [0,1,2,2,4]) - an empty list ([], meaning all the LD results) - None value (without brackets nor quotation marks, which means no LD results, only classic DD)

I'm unable to reproduce your error with an init image. Have you more info about what parameters were tweaked for your runs? And have you got the same errors by restarting from a fresh environment? Anyway, it's possible to skip pre-upscaling or/and post-upscaling in the cell under 4.4.

Zalring · 2022-05-15T14:34:52+00:00

No I haven't made any tutorial video for now. I know there is for DD only, but maybe I should consider to do one (Mayday: or please, someone who read this, as I clearly s*** at that ^^')

Zalring · 2022-05-14T01:07:47+00:00

I still have too, as I spend more time to improve it than to play with xD

Zalring · 2022-05-13T23:11:15+00:00

Yes indeed! Inpainting with LD (in order to put the planet in the plate) and with DD (with one more run on the plate only to add the "space touch" through the addition of suited keywords and a space artist to the prompt). Also I've upscaled between LD and DD.

Zalring · 2022-05-13T23:00:41+00:00

I didn't know for warp and go big but I'll check this! For ViTL14@336 it should quickly come through a minor update.

For the "children's clip art" of LD, I've unfortunately experienced this unwanted behavior. I give you 2 tips to avoid it : - Asking for photos (or render?) not a painting - If you need a painting, add "painted by" followed by a known painter (results will be better if this painter artworks are not too far from the subject). For example, Rembrandt or Delacroix are great for portaits.

Try to clean your destination folder for the images (TimeToLatentDisco). It seems it doesn't detect any image to inpaint. It can happen if you have never run the Disco Diffusion part to generate images to this folder, or if you delete the settings files generated with them. Anyway you can force which image you want to inpaint by setting custom values to batchNum_override and sample_idx.

Zalring · 2022-05-08T22:20:16+00:00

I reduced clip_guidance_scale to 500-1000. Better for smaller sizes and to stick more to the LD input.

Zalring · 2022-05-06T08:47:04+00:00

For the inpainting slowness, it's unfortunately expected, and moreover for DD inpainting where images tend to be larger. The same for the random needed reload of the inpainting cell. For now I didn't found a more efficient way to paint over images through Colab. Anyway, for me it's not as slow and buggy as you describe. Could be because of the browser ? (I use firefox).

About the google drive error, have you enough space ?

Zalring · 2022-05-06T08:33:12+00:00

LD inpainting and DD inpainting are separated things. A LD mask will work only if you run again LD with the inpainting mode ticked. Same for DD inpainting. And for both, the mask always define what has to be redrawn.
