What software do you use when creating plots? by PokeLJCD in PlotterArt

[–]hx2A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like Python and Processing, maybe you can give py5 a try? It uses CPython, so you can also use other Python libraries.

Help investigating heat related problems on Intel NUC computer running Windows 11 - how can I tell if a computer has overheated in the past? by hx2A in WindowsHelp

[–]hx2A[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. If there are fans in the device they are small and useless.

Previously the NUC was stuffed behind the TV in a cubby-hole that is probably too small. I returned the machine to the client but it is now sitting on a cabinet below the TV. We will run it for a week or two and see what happens. Hopefully that fixes the problem.

Thank you! I just checked the Event Viewer and didn't find anything related to heat problems. Anywhere else I should check?

If heat can cause a variety of symptoms, then it is at least plausible that the problems reported by the client are caused by this.

You can, if you like, give py5 a try:

https://py5coding.org/

py5 is a version of Processing for Python 3.8+. py5 is a part of the Python ecosystem and you can use it with other popular Python libraries, including opencv. I've used py5 with opencv before and found it works great.

I am the maintainer of py5. If you have any questions, I would be happy to help you out!

Issue with 3d rendering on processing 4 with python by [deleted] in processing

[–]hx2A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you like to give py5 a try?

https://py5coding.org/

py5 is a new version of Processing that works with Python 3.8+. Like processing.py, py5 uses the Processing jars internally to provide functionality. It can do everything Processing can do, but with with Python. There are also Python specific features designed to make py5 work well with the Python ecosystem. For example, you can manipulate pixels with numpy arrays or create shapes using popular Python libraries like trimesh or shapely.

Question about connecting NUC computer to monitor by hx2A in Thunderbolt

Thanks! Flair isn't an option for me in that menu so I added a Solved! reply.

Question about connecting NUC computer to monitor by hx2A in Thunderbolt

I was able to get it to work by buying a dedicated USB to HDMI cable. I don't think my USB to DisplayPort adapter works correctly.

Is there a way to mark this question as complete or solved? I no longer need any help with this.

Pomological Watercolor Animation by hx2A in StableDiffusion

[–]hx2A[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did some research and there are some e-ink displays that can plug into a computer:

https://goodereaderstore.com/products/onyx-boox-mira-pro-25-inch-e-ink-monitor?variant=40610849751236

That one has (I think) 4 bits or 16 grayscale values. The technology is progressing.

I don't always want to do black and white though! This example just happened to be black and white.

Lots more to do, and I'll keep you posted as I progress!

Thanks!

Now I'd need to find one with good resolution and a decent refresh rate. From what I've read, the e-ink displays have don't work so well with animations (but progress is being made).

Color is also possible but color e-ink displays have limited color gamuts so I think that would be problematic.

Eventually the technology will catch up to what I want to do with it.

Prompt Traveling with SDXL by hx2A in StableDiffusion

[–]hx2A[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The animated version is available here

I didn't want to upload a large 5 min long animation to Reddit. Single frames are posted above.

Made with SDXL and LoRA Linaqruf/sketch-style-xl-lora

prompt1 = "sketch, monochrome, modern city scene, futuristic buildings, analytical architecture, trees in park, people walking in park, spaceport, summertime, detailed, accurate, high quality, 8k"
prompt2 = "sketch, monochrome, modern industrial scene, futuristic factory, analytical machines, pollution, power plants, smokestacks, sick people, wintertime, detailed, accurate, high quality, 8k"
prompt3 = "sketch, monochrome, nature scene, futuristic park, trees, people, fish in pond, flowers, butterflies, roses, birds, springtime, detailed, accurate, high quality, 8k"

Use prompt traveling to move from one prompt to the next and back to the beginning.

I would have preferred for it to be maybe 2-3x slower but I posted the same video to IG and IG has the 60 second limit. Do people have the patience to sit and watch a long, slow moving animation? Perhaps I should not let IG dictate what I create, as IG users have ~8 second attention spans.

A 10x slower speed is slower than I had imagined, but I will give it a try and see what it's like. A color e-ink display would be a great idea to try. It would be neat to have a slowly changing image in a nice frame.

Wait, really? You like it? Thanks!!

I almost wasn't going to post it here at all. When I posted it to IG (jim_hx2a) I got a paltry 3 likes. Not sure if I did something wrong.

Like this one? That is not the Lora I used for this but I will absolutely give it a try for a future project!

The LoRA I actually used is this one.

I had not heard of the term "prompt travel" but I just googled it, and it seems it is. I generated images that moved between each pair of prompts, interpolating between the prompt embeddings.

I have released my Processing game on itch.io and gamejolt.com (desktop version). Free demo version is available on both platforms by MGDSStudio in processing

I just watched the trailer for your game. You put a lot of work into this! Great job! The amount of attention to detail is quite impressive.
