    The idea is: A cozy room with magical windows showing distant exotic lands.

    Made with comfyui. The Workflow should be embedded in the image.

    This is a bit more complicated regarding the generation process.

    • Model: realisiticVisionV51VAE
    • Sampler for all: uni_pc
    • Steps: for the Base Image 20, everything else 60

    Base Image with Multi Area Conditioning:

    Negative Prompt: ugly

    Base Prompt: cozy medieval living room with 2 windows

    Multi Area 1 and 2 Prompt: Train window

    This generates a base image which is the base for the further processing.

    Window Image 1:

    • Positive: Magical, mystical Landscape
    • Negative: Person, blurry, boring, close-up, dark (optional), details are low, distorted details, eerie, foggy, gloomy , grains, grainy, grayscale, homogenous, low contrast, low quality, lowres, macro, monochrome (optional), multiple angles, multiple views, opaque, overexposed, oversaturated, plain, plain background, portrait, simple background, standard, surreal, unattractive, uncreative, underexposed

    Window Image 2:

    • Positive: Raw Photo an alien landscape with alien tentacly purple plants, shot on canon eos
    • Negative: Person, blurry, boring, close-up, dark (optional), details are low, distorted details, eerie, foggy, gloomy , grains, grainy, grayscale, homogenous, low contrast, low quality, lowres, macro, monochrome (optional), multiple angles, multiple views, opaque, overexposed, oversaturated, plain, plain background, portrait, simple background, standard, surreal, unattractive, uncreative, underexposed

    I take the latent from the base image and combine the latents of the window images with the base image.

    After that i do a final sampling to blend all together and 2 Upscales.

      I like the explaination and the work behind your picture. Is the screenshot from blender?

        The screenshot is from the comfyui interface. Here is a full view of the workflow (the workflow can be imported in your local comfyui instance if you drag the original picture of my post into the comfyui interface [You may have to install some custom nodes]) :

          Wow, this looks very impressive. Is it difficult to learn this tool?

            The wide variety of nodes can be a bit overwhelming but in general it is a logical process with many good youtube tutorials. I had a little experiennce with the node concept from blender but i think even without that it is easy to use. The Bigger Problem will be your disk space when you sudenly have 50 different Models on your harddrive ;-)

      Congratulations on (shared) second place! I love the end result and really appreciate the thorough explanation of your work flow. The magical aspect of having two different views from the same room is really nice and very original.
