Roman Baths Series

Roman Baths, aka Thermae, are bath complexes that served as social and recreational spaces for bathing, relaxation, and socializing in ancient Rome.

I have been working on this for four months. The original pencil drawing was made in Midjourney v5. I really like the drawing, but it lacked detail. Gradually, I have acquired more technical skills in Stable Diffusion, and have improved my ability to command it at will. This 16K Ultra HD render was made through multiple 2x steps of tile resampling with control nets.

The tile resampling control net allows you to divide an image into tiles, then upscale each tile individually. Virile Fusion v2 was the checkpoint model used to do these rendering. This upscaling method will generate new image information while conforming to the lower res version. The degree of detail it will add depends largely on the denoising parameter

The result is an image that measures 15,872 pixels on each side. I am researching the best way to show it on my site so that you would be able to explore this. I will likely write a custom component for it using libraries intended to zoom in and out of maps.

So far I have created several images this way already, and with this resolution, you can probably print it for a mural. But showing them properly on the screen remains a challenge.

Until then, I have prepared a video using Adobe After Effects so you can at least experience the image in variable zoom levels.
