Member-only story
Allow me to begin by disclosing that the above looks nothing like I intended it to.
Using the prompt “the New York City skyline with cryptocurrency moon and stars |unreal engine” on Max Woolf’s VQGAN+CLIP notebook (that I find easiest to use and actually works for me), the following image was generated after 1,300 iterations that took ninety-three minutes.
Also, I have wanted to generate larger images than the typical 640X480 pixel ratio that most of my generative art is. I do like the look of a 4:3 ratio but would prefer to go to 1,000X750 or thereabouts. Because of the old Dell that I use and the computing power being fairly low, I am not able to. Also, I do not pay for the enhanced memory and computing power through Google, so I am limited to however much I am allocated by the Gods of Google on any given day since these Colab notebooks are hosted by it.
That said, I upped the size a tad to 720X540, so the above image is 26.5% larger than my usual ones and, thus, perhaps slightly more attractive to prospective purchasers.
