This challenge is over, @theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz wins and gets to host the next challenge!
Thanks everyone for playing, I loved seeing all of your houses.
Hope to see you in the next challenge! :)

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 🫠
- Wow, you dream BIG!
  I like this one a lot
  
  If there were an open sign up for colonists for Mars, Titan, etc. I'd put my name on there without hesitation.

  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 :)
- That’s a gorgeous house, I love the gardens and the pond. It has a very magical quality to it.
  
  thank you :)
  i'll get there some day

  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.

I've made so many nice houses over the past few days, but this is one of my most favorite.

Prompt: architecture photography of A collection of concrete egg-shaped houses, built inside a gorge, connected by walkways, a raging waterfall can be seen in the distance, trees with soft pink petals grow from the crags in the cliff, natural lighting shines through the mist of the waterfall, shot with nikon dslr --ar 3:2 --style raw
- Looks really cool! I'm getting some vibes of The Aerie in NieR Replicant.

- 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 :)
- 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!

  This 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.

  That's the most relatable house in the challenge, I'd give it an extra point if we had a prize for it :)

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 🤣

- 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.

  It's a lovely house on top, not so sure about all those cars though :)

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
- 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
  
  Great idea, I'll try this week end

My Little hobbit home.
Made with comfyui. The workflow is embedded in this picture (Catbox)
- 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.

  Image without ImageMaskedComposite: https://files.catbox.moe/h8yiut.png
  
  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.

  Great design. The brutalist concrete house contrasts very nicely with the lush forest.
