Great design. The brutalist concrete house contrasts very nicely with the lush forest.

Very nice living room! The lighting and spaciousness makes it very attractive. Would love to have seen more of it.

I’ve made so many nice houses over the past few days, but this is one of my most favorite.

How do you say “go away” in Greek?

then there is the complication that comes with the greek alphabet. no way ai can do that in 2024

That’s the most relatable house in the challenge, I’d give it an extra point if we had a prize for it :)

Not fully what I wanted, but the result is quite OK, for some reason SD struggle to get that if I’m on the moon surface it doesn’t need to draw a moon on the sky

Of course inpainting didn’t manage the reflexion (well I could do a second inpainting) but even a quick test gives a nice results. I keep it it mind for next challenge

You got a shared 3rd place with trollivier!

It’s a great concept! Seeing the ships sail underneath your house would be nice to see. I hope it comes with an elevator though :)

cloudless,

It does. The elevator takes you to the glass floor so you can see the cars underneath. My house is right above.

My Little hobbit home.

Made with comfyui. The workflow is embedded in this picture (Catbox)

DetailsBase Model (first image) : fenrisxl_V16fp16 (CivitAI) Outpainting Model: juggerxllnpaint_juggerinpaintV8 CivitAI) Like in the hobbit, it all starts with a door: Prompt: frontal closeup Photo of A beautiful round wooden entrance door to a cozy hobbit burrow.

theUnlikely,

Very cool idea to use outpainting like that! I’m wondering if something happened to the image along the way. A lot of the details look burnt out by the final outpainting. Looking at the workflow, I counted 12 VAE decode/encode pairs. I know that changing between latent and pixel space is not a lossless process, so that might be it, but I’m not sure. I’m going to see if I can get a workflow going that maintains the original quality.

Comparisonhttps://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/158adf0b-cc0b-422f-96f6-e1cd1aff084f.webp

theUnlikely, (edited )

Okay soooooo, that took a lot longer than I anticipated, but I think I got it. It seems it is a problem with the VAE encoding process and it can be handled with the ImageCompositeMasked node that combines the padded image with the new outpainted area so that pre-outpainted area isn’t affected by the VAE. I learned this here youtu.be/ufzN6dSEfrw?si=4w4vjQTfbSozFC6F&t=498. The whole video is quite useful, but the part I linked to is where he talks about that problem.

The next problem I ran into is that at around the fourth from the last outpainting, ComfyUI would stop, it just wouldn’t go any further. The system I’m using has 24GB of VRAM and 42 GB of RAM so I didn’t think that was the problem, but just in case I tried it on a beastly RunPod machine that had 48GB VRAM and 58GB of RAM. It had the exact same problem.

To work around this I first bypassed everything except the original gen and the first outpaint. Then I enabled each outpaint one by one until I got to the fourth from the last. At that point I saved the output image and bypassed everything except the original gen and first outpaint and enabled the last four outpaints, loading the last image manually.

I used DreamShaper XL Lightning because there was no way I was going to wait for 60 steps each time with FenrisXL 😂 I tried two different ways of using the same model for inpainting. The first was using the Fooocus Inpaint node and Differential Diffusion node. This worked well, but when comfy stopped working I thought maybe that was the problem so I switched all of those out for some model merging. Basically, it subtracts the base SDXL model from the SDXL inpainting model and adds the Dreamshaper XL Lighting model to that. This creates a “Dreamshaper XL Lightning inpainting model”. The SDXL inpainting model can be found here.

You should be able to use this workflow with FenrisXL the whole time if you want. You’ll just need to change the steps, CFG, and maybe sampler at each ksampler.
