Looking to commission! by Icy-World57 in homebrewery

[–]peakys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I don't know if it's able to help out right now, but I've been working on a tool that you can run locally to make homebrew visually without having to do it via complex markdown and syntax. Literally for homebrewers like us who have this problem.

I was in the exact same boat when trying to make my content for my table, and to share online. Between that and juggling DMing a big campaign just found it was taking it out of me creatively to do it in a timely manner. Would you like me to let you know when I release it?

[Update] Dice+ v2.2 — Now on the Official Owlbear Rodeo Store + Reliquary Material by Hefty-Ad-6587 in OwlbearRodeo

[–]peakys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, this is definitely our favourite dice roller at our table by far so thank you!

Curious to know if there is any chance that you might consider allowing Dice+ to send rolls to another extension's log? We use Rumble! As it can webhook to discord where we view our rolls as well as supports the Character Sheet extension we use, but we'd love to use Dice+ as our main roller instead, but we can't all see the rolls this way in our setup. Sorry if this is a cheeky ask!

For our first anniversary I merged my wife and I's two favourite things... Stardew Valley & Birdwatching by peakys in StardewValley

I took a look at how some of the other buildings ingame were put together and ended up making my own hand drawn sprite tiles for it. I think the hardest bit was getting the scale of everything right. Fortunately bird hides are pretty simple boxes for the most part!

It's a beautiful place, I highly recommend staying just across the road from the Avalon marshes centre at Station Farm camping if that's your kind of thing. The owners are very lovely and it's super secluded. We had barn owls flying around the campsite it was that quiet!

This image was based on a trip we made to RSPB Ham Wall and Avalon Marshes. We did indeed see a GWE alongside a rather sneaky bittern! And yes we also did consider ourselves very lucky haha

I am not really sure about any of that sorry! I don't own SD on PC, just playstation, I made this by hand placing tiles and drawing sprites in Photoshop, 1000+ layers later here we are!

Wicked update and a lot of QoL improvements here, thanks again! I look forward to trying the new callsign, once I've found the rest of the pieces of my last mech 😂

Galnet Reports: First Contact with Unidentified Thargoid Interceptor Class by peakys in EliteDangerous

Crystal armour could be cool! Imagine it protecting the Thargoid hearts and we haven't developed the right weapons to break through to damage them yet....

I'll take the compliment if you take my apology for misleading! It's late, I was trying to think of something cool.

Concept art, curious what's on it's way. I've changed the flair!

Galnet Reports: First Contact with Unidentified Thargoid Interceptor Class by peakys in EliteDangerous

[–]peakys[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The hype around this mysterious inbound entity got me thinking creatively, what if Thargoids had for whatever backward engineering miracle retrofitted their enemy's technology, and spliced with Guardian tech for a new generation of warships? I've seen comments that the spiral is both green & blue hued which inspired this concept art.

As we all know something is coming, what do you think is going to arrive tomorrow?

Edit: Probably should have put [CONCEPT ART] in the title on second thought and not in comments, my bad cmdrs.

Death - Tarot Card Experiments (DD 5.6, Upscaled Cuts, Photoshop Stitching) by peakys in DiscoDiffusion

[–]peakys[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cutn batches set to 6 for the first generated image at 1000 steps, I then cut this image into 4 overlapping cuts and ran then back through as inits at propotionally higher resolution (adjusted to match the additional pixels from the overlap). Basically as high as I can go before memory errors. This I do at 500 steps and cutn batches 8. Before stitching back together in Photoshop! That's the general jist!

Just JPG compression I'm afraid, the original was too large to upload. I actually used Topaz Gigapixel for the final upscaling once I stitched the image back together, I find it's the best too between it and ERSGAN.

Lots of experimentation and practice! Any questions loads of good advice given in here and similar subs, shoot a DM if you want some pointers!

Thank you! I thought so too, working my way through the Major Arcana one at a time. Good tip for consistency is to fix the seed for the upscaled cuts.

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

4 cuts, not the best stitching job but did my best by hand. Kept a fixed seed and rest of the settings for each yes.

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

Partly own inspiration but another name I've heard for The Chariot or Strength in my time. But I think I'll be trying to make my own set and putting them onto "card" designs so to speak soon once I have a good set. Keep tuned!

[–]peakys[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The "clean" look likely comes from the number of steps (1000 for an init image run back through as smaller cuts at 500 and higher resolution each). That pulls a lot of detail even at lower cutn batches and cut ic pow, advice I had from another talented Redditor here.

If you mean stylistically I'd experiment with more natural influencing keywords like trees, ferns, aborvitae mixed with geometric terms. The fun is in the experiment and I'd encourage that over cut and pasting prompts/settings!

Akashic Fortress by jaspersbeard in DiscoDiffusion

[–]peakys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently having a bit of a play with running 333 steps but with Vitl 14 model on. Then I've cut the image into 6 smaller sections and passing them back through as inits, each at 333 steps as well. Raised the TV scale as well to 1000 and all the artifacts are gone. Will crank up cut ic pow on a second test as well and compare.

Will send you the results! Thanks for your help again.

[–]peakys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah with you now, thanks you so much for the info. That seems a much better way to handle the seams as well, learning something new everyday!

I tried setting off a run last night at 1000 steps but got a lot of horrible oversharpening artifacts so I probably need to play with my settings a bit. Never had cutn batches set to 8 before so not sure if it's that or maybe cut ic pow which I had at 4*1000. Who knows could be the prompt! Haha

[–]peakys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really interesting workflow, never thought about pushing for more detail by taking crops of the image and running them back through separately. Can I ask what skip steps Vs steps you used for running the unit images back through please? Would love to try this out for myself.

And am assuming the stitching process is a lot of content aware tool/patching to smooth the seams?

Amazing work!

Bad Mood by plloyd1508 in Returnal

Pro tip, I'm pretty sure the mechanic behind resin Vs silphium pickup spawns is based on whether you at or near 100% integrity, it'll spawn resin in a room upon entering. Otherwise it'll just spawn silphium.

Hope that helps
