Guess I should post a new introduction since I moved servers and this account has no posts at all 😛
I'm a developer/coder. I used to be very much into mobile development (both #iOS and #Android) using #Swift and #Kotlin. Now my main area of interest is digital creativity using #AI to generate art, text, and music.
I don't post a lot generally, but do daily postings of interesting papers from the cs.CV category on arXiv.org. So first thing in the morning, there will be a barrage of posts from me and then probably nothing much for the rest of the day 🙂
I also post a daily set of images based on my #StableDiffusion prompt of the day — I generate a bunch of images through the day based on a single prompt, pick the four best images (according to me) and post them the next day.
For "grid inside a grid" I wanted to create one of those trippy infinite recursive zooms. I'm not super satisfied with the result. The seams are painfully visible and the zoom is anything but constant.
I visited London in 2019 and, coming from Argentina, it was my first time on a city older than the colonisation of America. The first thing I noticed is that these medieval cities are definitely not a grid! It's very easy to get lost on the meandering streets and irregular blocks.
I tried to create optical illusions without success before. "Black and white" seemed like a good excuse to retry it with all my learnings. I'm pretty happy with this one.
The trick is to use alternating prompt to create a base image and then iterate img2img alternating between the "vase" and the "silhouette" prompt. Also, I think the Euler A sampler is too unstable for this; DDIM seemed to work better.
Again a #genuary prompt that I don't know how to follow to the letter but that I used as an excuse to try something new. In this case, tiling patterns.
Lately I don't have a lot of time or energy to do much, so this one's a bit rushed. In any case, today I learned that it's "reindeer" and not "raindeer".
