Spent a bit more time faffing about with Pixelcubes, yesterday.

-=-=-

Over the past week or so, I've been experimenting with the probability of getting some really nice high resolution pictures out of Pixelcubes, and it's kinda half going well, but also kinda not doing.


Take this image, for example (click to embiggen!)

It looks lovely, until you start to look closely. Like the far right of the lower m.


Zoomed and Enhanced.

There's a lot of little hairline fractures where the cubes aren't quite lining up correctly, and it's very obvious the more enhancements you do to the image.

I'm currently working on adding some sort of Focal camera setup, but once you add any blur to the image, the cracks become insanely apparent.
Which is a shame, because if I can get this working the way I'd like it to, then it'd take a heck of a lot of complications out of the workload, as far as rendering nice big desktop images of the daily pixelart is concerned.

And, of course, there's the fact that I'm running this on an Apple Silicon browser, and goodness knows how bad it might be on anything lower-specced.
I'll keep trying, though. Optimising! Optimising!!!
Those cubes won't beat me!! Rawr!!

This is using the Cover function with exactly the same prompts, over and over again on itself. It's alright, I guess, but I was hoping for something more varied!
