I have improved the quality of the images that I am using for training the AI, but so far, I cannot produce an acceptible embedding. I will continue to work on this. What I have been able to do though is use a combination of controlnet and charturner to effectively “pregenerate” the images that I […]

I have used several techniques to try to train an AI to generate consistent characters. I have achieved some success with this. The most common technique seems to be to generate a number of images using either a third party program or stable diffusion itself, and using those images as a training set to train […]

I have spent more time on AI generated images. My current goal is to produce consistent images of the same character, in different poses (possibly in different clothes, etc), easily and reliably. I think that the correct way of doing this is to use an embedding, or “Textual Inversion”. The problem is generating the images […]

I have been experiment with Stable Diffusion recently, and I have been using it to generate photo-realistic images of various characters, etc. The software is incredibly powerful, and can easily create very highly detailed images. It cannot be used for 3D models, etc, or for texture sets, but for a visual-novel style game it could […]

I recently discovered that it is actually possible to sponsor certain unicode characters, and also, that the “heart” of my logo is in fact a unicode character. It is U+2727, the Four-Pointed Star: I have sponsored this character on the official Unicode site HERE. I also get an official tweet from the Unicode channel: Phoenix […]

While researching technologies for my virtual world project, I looked into a realistic physics library. This would allow me to further explore dynamic content, by allowing players to, for example, construct objects, buildings, or simple machines from discrete elements in the world, using only the physics model to “Make them work”. I would not need […]

Having recently moved to Windows 10, I had to solve a few fairly minor issues when compiling Torque using the new 2015 edition of Visual Studio 2015. The current version of T3D (3.6.1) seems to compile fine, however, projects built with older versions don’t. Since I’m sure many developers, like me, are still working with […]

I generally adopt a simple sequential naming convention for my Projects, P-165, P-166, etc. My current virtual world Project (Which I don’t have a name for yet) is P-152. However, I think that given the sheer complexity of the Spherical Terrain Implementation which I am currently working on, this element should have it’s own project […]

I have learned of a problem with compiling and running a T3D dedicated server on the Raspberry Pi 2. The RPi 2 uses an ARM processor, and T3D features some Assembly code that make it incompatible with ARM processors. Even though the Pi may be powerful enough, T3D is unlikely to run without significant low-level […]

I have installed QtCreator on the Raspberry Pi. It was relatively easy, except that I needed to use the program “attitude” to install QtCreator, since the usual “apt-get” method didn’t work. I have also learned that T3D on Linux can be compiled with QtCreator. My next goal is to compile T3D on the RPi and […]
