AI Generated Images

Video

I had to scale the gif down with an online Tool which put me their logo in the bottom right corner.

Its ok If the use of tools outside of an classic AI Generator violates the rules of the contest and disqualifies me. I still had much fun trying it out!

The idea was to "fly" from outer space deeper and deeper into an Ecumenopolis (had to google thatone) until you "arrive" at the final destination deep into the Ecumenopolis, a grass field.

The Workflow is also embedded in this image:

The Workflow uses custom nodes which have to be installed to work

This is quite an interesting Workflow:

1. Base Image

I´ve created a Base Image with following Prompt:

documentary photography photo of closeup of a single grass blade, futuristic, grenn , ecological, hippie city background, natural lighting, from below/low angle, ARRI ALEXA 65, Kodak Vision3 IMAX

2. Send the created image back into the workflow

Via the image Sender and image receiver node of the Comfyui custom Module "Impact pack" you are able to send the generated image back into the workflow. With these nodes you are able to do a Generation loop which makes it possible to generate something like an animation by the creative use of inpainting.

3. Scale the genrated image down an pad it for outpainting

The previously generated image isscaled down to 50%. then we pad the image to get it back to its original size for the outpainting. combined with an outpainting controlnet you get a new image which "zooms" a bit out:

4. Now starts the Fun

You have in Comfyui an optional Setting where you can set the Image generation to an endless loop. It generates image after image until you say stop. As we have generated a feedback loop in our workflow we get the nice zoom effect for every following image.

And here is the point from above with the prompt "It´s complicated"

You can now modify the promp while the generation process is running and alter slowly the prompt. If you are a fast typer you can do this while the process is running or you pause, modify the prompt and start the process again.

My goal was to have a "Zoom in from Space" into the Ecumenopolis.

As the process works in the way that you zoom out from the first image, you have to think in "reverse" and modify the prompt gradually during the generation process so that you come frome the detail view of grass to the outside view of the Ecumenopolis from Space.

Surprisingly you only need a few iterations to get a nice effect:

4. Make a Video

The last step is to Generate the Animation with the Zoom Video Composer . This will generate you a .mp4 out of your single images. You also have many parameters to play with and to get different effects.
