for what it’s worth I’ve been making do with running it on my CPU. I just queue some things up and let it run in the background. At 512x512 on my i7-8700 it takes between 15-20 minutes maybe to get an image, but importantly it doesn’t hog the entire system so I can easily do other things while it’s running.
I don’t really want to upgrade GPUs unless I can come up with a practical use for all this. I think one good application for me at least might be creating background plates for Hitchcock-style front projection in short films…
The prompts for the first two asked for “in the style of Andrei Tarkovsky” directly, later I got the following too from simply “Beauty will save the world” - a Dostoevsky quote that I actually first came across via Tarkovsky. Funny coincidence seeing as you could just as easily imagine them as stills from one of his films. The other styles/checkpoints I tried that with came up with very different results lol.
