Re: Project 3: Create a Time-Based Animation Using AI Software of Your Choice

Motivation I wanted to push diffusion-based image-to-video workflows toward motion that feels both natural and unforced — motion that looks like wind moving leaves, water following a channel, a hurricane funnel rotating, ocean swell, or a writhing insect swarm. My pipeline: generate high-quality so...

Re: Project 3: Create a Time-Based Animation Using AI Software of Your Choice

Motivation AnimateDiff_00026.gif Inspired by the George and Zixuan presentation in class today, I wanted to use ComfyUI to create a short, coherent inpaint-driven bonfire animation (inspired by my favorite game Dark Souls). My goal was to keep the background and camera frame diagram stable while on...

Re: Project 3: Create a Time-Based Animation Using AI Software of Your Choice

I want to use ComfyUI to exert fine control over frames/cues/seeds to generate high-quality keyframes, but due to insufficient server memory, I cannot do continuous frame-by-frame rendering of the entire video locally. The solution is to only use ComfyUI to generate key frames (key poses/key shots) ...

Re: Project 2: Images Created Using the ComfyGUI Interface

MOTIVATION Generate a bokeh effect resembling lens blur in a single photo (large circular highlights, creamy soft out-of-focus areas) while preserving foreground details. Last week my KSampler re-rendered the subject=body, which wasn't what I intended, so I experimented with the new inpaint control...

Re: Project 2: AI method Blurring(KSampler/inpaint)

MOTIVATION Generate a photographic shallow-depth-of-field (bokeh) effect on a beach photograph while strictly preserving the foreground rock detail. Compare a safe, non-generative pixel blur baseline with an AI local inpaint (KSampler/img2img) approach to understand trade-offs between fidelity, len...

Re: Project 1: Automata1111 Interface

I conducted an XYZ grid experiment on Automatic1111 using a fixed prompt (“An elderly man sits on a park bench, natural light, documentary style”),testing several different combinations (varying image aspect ratios and random seeds). I replaced the Y values (group label variables) with different var...
