VN Ren'Py Happy Birthday me! Development Thread [Development Thread]

What kind of prompts do you use with Luma? You're getting really good static camera results. Often the camera just goes crazy in my animation

I actually just posted an update about Luma in my dev thread lol https://f95zone.to/threads/no-trace-of-luck-pre-release-development-thread-godot.204911/

Hah, well, tbh haven't cracked the code yet. And from discussions with the devs on discord - there isn't really a way to reliably get a desired cam movement + character movement.
Those 2 of yours I'd say to look even better than mine. That mirror one is top notch!

Those you see here - every one had different prompt. "Idle animation", "static camera", "camera locked off", some just bare "anime girl".
And for every one there is 4 failed ones. So it's more of a RNG situation you see.

Two major breakthroughs!
1 - I downloaded, toyed with, and learned first bits of Live2D!
It honestly doesn't look that hard, although it will be a lot of work.

2 - Finally cleaned training set and trained my Luna's LoRA for Pony! It didn't cooked perfectly, actually I am struggling to get the quality I achieved in XL, but I am sure I just need to rewrite prompts correctly. And it unlocks a real of possibilities unseen in XL!

That's exactly what I am saying.
Although - to be specific - it was 2 AI's.
SDXL made the image, the other one animated it.
But the last piece of a puzzle - which was already shared - I left for you to find ^^

AHHhhhhhhhhHHH. Found it.

For anyone else stupid like me, lumalabs.ai is the secret sauce.

Haha, yea, it's literally in the corner of every image.

I want to write a review for each of those - just a couple of sentences + if it's play or skip.
But I cannot get myself to start writing ;_;

I use the "just 5 minutes" technique.

Open the editor.
Promise yourself that you can stop after 5 minutes and go do the other thing that is dragging you away from your task. Start writing, it's only 5 mins, it won't be that hard.
...
inevitably I find myself still going 30 mins to 2 hours later.

The other thing I do is stop myself from alt-tabbing when something takes a little bit of time (i.e. 30 sec for a render) - too easy to get lost and forget to come back. The way I do this is to not have the browser/etc open or at least not visible.

Oh yeah, alt tabing is my nemesis, but honestly I am too weak to fight it.

The 5 min though... Need to try it.
If there was some real deadline, it'd be super easy. I'd wait to the last possible moment before, and clutched it last second.

I wish you all to experience happiness that I chose to abandon.

TIL - I don't have to manually organize and copypaste quotes when replying to complex posts, I can just hit reply multiple times xD

 

[mypossiblepasts]

There's something really wrong with me.

[mypossiblepasts]

it is something I was actively putting effort to make reality
now that it's over, realization hits, achieving it is a little saddening
Let me be first person to send you wishes: Happy Birthday yesterdays me!
