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?

Itrytoblenderrender ,

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 ;-)
