Vibrant Dance.
Dance, move, action. I combined the vibrancy of the rainbow color mixed with the energy of paint splatter — the main reason why I’m so drawn to the abstract expressionist paintings of Jackson Pollock. I decided to depict the men dancing to express that carefree spirit when you’re lost in the music and the moment. I used Nike Air Max Plus TN speakers for these works because they meant something special for me. I talked about why in my previous posts. You can read about them on my site or in the descriptions of those image sets.
Tech
Vibrant Horizon Turbo XL is a new checkpoint released by Scratchproof @virilevision. It’s a model based on Turbo XL and LCM XL models.
Turbo XL and LCM are two different technologies released recently that would allow anyone to generate high-quality txt2img renders at low steps.
In practical terms, it means that you’d be able to generate what usually would take at least 30 steps in 8 steps, greatly reducing the time required to render images, and thus indirectly allowing slower GPUs to render high quality AI generated images.
ELI5: if SDXL 1024x1024 renders normally take 1 minute to render on your machine, you can get the same quality in 15 seconds.
The images in this set were mostly rendered with these settings:
