I had to rely on Regional Prompter to get the composition even remotely right. SD really didn’t feel like putting any kind of large planet in the sky without it. I also learned today that SDXL models don’t know what Saturn is 🫠

Congratulations! You won! I love the concept and the view is absolutely amazing.
It’s your turn to think of the next challenge.
Alright! That’s a neat little trophy. I’m working on a concept for the next challenge right now.
Great topic, thank you! Felt healthy brainstorming some of what I want in a house :)
prompt
dream interpretation house with glowing aquamarine solarpanel roofing, oddly shaped curving windows, with a garden with ginseng, ashwagandha, schisandra, ginger, garlic, lavender, mint, and a pond and stream with bacopa and other water plants, and a forest glade where all creatures are peaceful and welcome in the secret place of the magic forest thousands of miles from the nearest human. inside has beautifully arranged genetic engineering gear, computers, and various electronic and electrochemical devices each custom crafted with full knowledge of the underlying systems (((absolutely beautiful))), masterpiece, best quality, forestpunk style, (pastel colors), calm, tranquil, peaceful, sparkling, harmonious gardens, harmoniously placed stones, acoustics and solstices taken in to account, oil painting, illustration in the styles of the artists Rachel Ruysch, Alena Aenami, Emmanuel Shiu, Laurie Lipton, Sylvain Sarrailh, Saskia Gutekunst, Humberto Ramos, and Andreas Achenbach
That’s a gorgeous house, I love the gardens and the pond. It has a very magical quality to it.

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 :)
It does. The elevator takes you to the glass floor so you can see the cars underneath. My house is right above.
4 out of 5 stars. I found this house on Airbnb. Beautiful quaint hilltop home with magnificent views! Perfect for a getaway. Had to remove one star for the sui-sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide…
Can’t wait to see these!
suislide 🤣
Did you just use the same prompt as OP?
It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off
You know what they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :)
they’re playing the inception game on you. You thought it was your dream, but the idea was implanted last week when you fell asleep on the train
Oh they shouldn’t have gone through all that trouble, I’m very very impressionable :)
And so it begins…
I picked this one because of the slide coming from the mountain top in the background
are you moving into thelsim’s dream?
It’s big enough to share!
is there a hidden elevator somewhere?
sliding down is easy but i wouldn’t like to take those stairs back up everytime
Even better, there’s a cable cart at the back of the house. I’d have shown it, but then you wouldn’t be able to see the awesome slide.
😁

Prize Points Total 0This looks vaguely familiar :)
I don’t really mind though, it was a one-off prompt and it’s nice to see someone else run with it.
Prompt is: A tall house on an impossibly tall mountain with a sign out front that says “go away”
In the bingilator 8 tries.
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

My Little hobbit home.
Made with comfyui. The workflow is embedded in this picture (Catbox)
Details
Base 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. A rune is carved at the bottom of the door. The door is painted blue.
Sampler: dpmpp_3m_sde
Scheduler: karras
Steps: 60
CFG: 7
But what is a door without a home? So we build the home around the door via outpainting.
Prompt:
frontal closeup Photo of A cozy hobbit burrow.
A cozy nice home needs some flowers. So lets give the home a nice flower garden:
Prompt:
beautiful flower Garden
But where should ou r hobbit home be located. I think a forest would be nice.
Prompt:
Beautiful forest
To reduce the strain on my graphics card, i am scaling the image back down to 1024x1024 for the next steps.
A home needs a nice fence. so lets add a nice picket fence.
Prompt:
Intricate detailed beautiful picket fence.
The finishing touch should be a nice Sky with clouds. This brings us back to the final image:
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 https://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.

Wow! Thank you for the effort and time you put into this! I will definitely look into the workflow. Model Merging sounds very interesting. I will look into it!
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.

And thanks for including the detailed workflow, so nice to see others helping out as well :)
Wow, that’s a lot of cars. Is it a multi-generational home?
The wood construction is very nice, and the view looks great.I suppose it’s a home built above a car rental business.
would you really want to live in there?
Hmm, this makes me rethink the rental business part. Must be just a huge personal collection

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
Workflow
you can inpaint earth in moon’s stead?
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
