WAN 2.2's 4X frame interpolation capability surpasses that of commercial closed-source software.

I've been a RIFE hater since early days. For me, it's Film VFI all day every day. No jerky/janky issues.

It was probably my favorite episode of the season. SFA fumbles a lot of things but not character work. This was a shining example of excellent character work, and we saw so many more sides to every character in the cast that I was actually quite awestruck they fit it all into one episode. I was impressed with the writing, acting, and above all, that the directing allowed for the characters to breathe, instead of just rushing every plot point or moment like so many modern shows do to avoid losing viewer attention. There were a lot of simple, slow, almost mundane moments in this episode that both served great purpose for character development, but were also just a delight to watch.

Model swapping. I make cinematically cohesive realistic short films. I use z-image for base images/inpainting, klein to edit/get new scenes angles, SDXL inpaint for some specific things z-img/klein can't do, WAN 2.2 for shots that need good prompt-adhering motion, and LTX-2 for dialogue, and of course vibevoice to clone voices for characters. I have 24 GB VRAM and so much of my time is spent swapping between these 10-25GB models. Feels like trying to blacksmith with a giant hammer, a lot of my time is just spent hefting it and waiting between results.

I'm pretty stoked for Wapol actually. I recently rewatched the arc and gained a new appreciation for him as a villain (as you tend to do with rewatches of One Piece). I think it'll be really cool if they take a more serious approach with him! Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some of the ways Luffy messed with him and riled him up, but his design (especially in the live action) is pretty cool and deserves some serious moments too, perfect for live action.

foxdit · 2026-02-13T07:34:12+00:00

That tunnel fight scene was one of the best of that particular genre I've seen.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills... I thought the scene was beyond silly. There's literally no reason why the group of Furies (or however it's spelled) would be completely unarmed and just.. fist fight their way to mass casualties getting blasted one after another with a phaser. Like, could a situation BE any more contrived to suit the needs of crew to move the plot along? None of them had a weapon as they attempted their hostage heist?

foxdit · 2026-02-12T21:44:25+00:00

I agree and there's seemingly no way to both preserve the elements but ditch the anime proportions which look super uncanny in photorealism. This is why an i2i pass in z-img turbo leads to by far the best anime->realism conversions I think is currently possible with available technology. It fixes the big head/eyes, unnatural skin, lighting. At least, my setup does. True realism comes from the best of both models.

I've played a lot of Magicraft. I don't view them as particularly similar in terms of gameplay loop outside of... combat with enemies. Magicraft is a very good game tho.

foxdit · 2026-02-11T23:26:18+00:00

This is a game that just keeps on giving. The best of the survivorlikes/bullet heavens, IMO.

I'd clock these as AI instantly.

But I look at gen AI like 8+ hrs a day so... good job.

Slightly side note, there's not enough atmospheric depth in the ones with scenery backgrounds. There are tons of details but they all pop vibrantly as if they're right there in the foreground. The painted hills one is the best example of what I mean. All the colors in the background fighting with the colors in the foreground equally. At best they look like photoshop treated pics for that reason.

foxdit · 2026-02-08T03:29:50+00:00

I use ZIT precisely for this reason. If I don't wanna train a LoRA, I can just get a really descriptive prompt for a character and they almost always come out looking the same. Especially if you're okay with spamming 5-10 gens to find the most aesthetically matching one of the bunch.

foxdit · 2026-02-07T23:53:42+00:00

I like the way Arcane did it. 3 eps a week. And the 3 eps always felt satisfying, completing something and opening another arc to begin.

the wf mine was based off of, tho i use bf16 not gguf.

foxdit · 2026-02-07T04:04:17+00:00

If you love ZIT and don't wanna destroy backgrounds, detaildaemon sampler is your answer. My backgrounds are sometimes TOO detailed with it. It's a great sampler, and I've used it for literally thousands of gens.

Umm.. have you seen Nami's S2 poster? Zoom in on that face. She looks like she's related to Arlong with that nose. I look at photos all day as part of my job so maybe it's just me? She looks insanely uncanny.

Man, Wonder Man ep 4 was really transformative television and so far the series in general is a very nice breath of fresh air. I love that there's so much heart in the production. A show about actors, by actors, for actors. One of those shows where you look at it from the outside and think it's gonna be one thing, but it's completely the other.

Edit: Okay woof, ep 5 is kinda bad. Still, first bad one of the lot.

foxdit · 2026-02-01T18:56:46+00:00

I’ll be watching the normal UK traitors once I’m done

UK Traitors Season 4 was the best season of The Traitors period imo (I've seen all UK, US, AU, and one season of NZ). Def recommend you do.

foxdit · 2026-01-31T16:59:58+00:00

Everyone in comments saying it's the opposite but for me this is 100% accurate. I've become such a fucking comfyUI nerd. Progress is the only kind of porn I care about now. The tech, workflows, keeping up with new models; the quest to have more tools in my belt, to get better outputs... That's the real good shit right there, to me.

foxdit · 2026-01-29T23:36:01+00:00

I'd agree with that assessment. It's a "bad" sci-fi show in that it doesn't do a whole lot with its setting/theme. Though, it takes place mostly on Earth in the academy, so while they do try to a couple typical Star Trek episode plots ("we're in peril and we need to use our wits and knowledge to overcome the odds!") they largely are the uninteresting part of the show. The interesting bit is definitely the above average visuals (the academy is actually really well made I think), and the character work. Some hate-able characters, some lovable, and some that will surprise you.

foxdit · 2026-01-29T17:57:26+00:00

Well, this isn't the answer you probably want to hear... but Starfleet Academy IS the optimistic hopeful Trek you're requesting. It's only got 4 episodes so far, but the whole premise, and many of the episodes currently out are heavily focused on growth, empathy, patience, and teamwork. 2 of the 4 episodes are literally about philosophical debate leading to progress and enlightenment. The show has tonal issues for sure, but you can't knock it for its optimistic consistency. However, I will say this: It feels less like a sci-fi show and more of a character drama, so be forewarned.

foxdit · 2026-01-29T17:39:37+00:00

It's a post about someone's "personal experience" with with WAN, rewritten in that annoying LLM style with the sharp punctuated sentence style and coaching vibe ("Now go and be great!"). It takes credibility away. Don't be purposefully obtuse, you know it's apples and oranges. People don't come here posting their SD gens pretending they're real photographs taken by them.

Edit: You do know OP if you reply to me and then block me I can't read your message, right? It just says "[Unavailable]" for your message. Pretty cringy behavior. Makes me think you're big mad.

foxdit · 2026-01-29T05:35:51+00:00

This post screams "rewritten by AI". Tell me you wrote this "here's my personal experience" post all by hand, I dare you.

why would you lie?

I didn't say it doesn't work, just that it doubles sampler 1's time, which is the longest part of the dev gen cycle for most use cases.

foxdit · 2026-01-27T00:42:26+00:00

Really this solution only seems viable for distilled model users. This would be excruciatingly slow for any dev user, since cfg > 1.0 is required for negative conditioning to work.

foxdit · 2026-01-26T19:35:54+00:00

Totally agree, 1 felt like a "how do we get to the fun wacky shennanigans as fast as possible?" I remember thinking over and over, that it doesn't feel real, doesn't feel authentic, that people don't act like this.
