240310 - boxes turned into destroyed

architectural ruins, set on a landscape with turkish wildflowers; blender, saxi (comfy), controlNet, magnific, python, lightroom

day 71/91 - in blender, a plane is constructed with geometry nodes. additional boxes are randomly distributed on it, and scaled into a random configuration. a fixed 4:5 camera (35mm) is positioned near ground level and pointed towards the boxes. the scene is depth rendered and tonemapped, and resulting images are used with control-lora-depth-rank256 to guide diffusion through the lahMysteriousSDXL_v40 model with the sdxl_film_photography_style_betav0.4 lora and sai-fantasyart built-in style. a 30 step first pass stops at step 25, then moves into a second advanced Sampler using the juggernautXL_v9 model and switches to sai-photographic for an additional 20 step finishing pass. results are cherrypicked, run through magnific (2x resolution, nature/landscape, low creativity, hor, resemblance and fractality, sparkle model) and graded in lightroom. final touches (including color correction, contrast, sharpness and pre-publishing) are automated via python script.
