I have heard on one of the science channels that the image-to-image ai generation exists but didn’t know it is already accessible to a wider audience. Regardless, it is nice to see it used for something like this.

Output (image B) is clearly struggling with more unusual parts of the outfit, but it’s still a close enough approximation of the input i guess

I wonder how that AI would work for some of the more detailed pieces of HM art, for example, those in the Hall of Fame?

Oof. So the deal is that by default a chromebook can’t run .exe (windows) or .tar.gz (linux) files. You can set up your chromebook to run .tar.gz files but it looks kind of technical and I just don’t really know that much about chromeOS, so all this is my best guess:

1: follow the steps here to enable linux compatibility mode

2: download the linux x64 version of the Flash Player projector content debugger from my original comment

3: follow the steps here to turn that file into an application that chromeOS can read

then continue from step 3 of my last comment.

Good luck, feel free to ask questions

Okay, so I am using a Chromebook, which doesn’t use Mac or Windows.

How’d you do that? I thought stable diffusion was strictly text-to-art

No, I filtered out the jargon and rewrote the important parts step by step from beginning to end, because blue indicated that he didn’t understand the article you were linking to.

Step 3: find “flashplayer_32_sa_debug” in your downloads folder and run it. It should open a blank window titled “Adobe Flash Player 32”

Step 4: File->Open to bring up a new window with a text field in it

Step 5: Paste https://www.heromachine.com/hm3/heromachine3.swf  into the text field and click Ok. This should bring up Heromachine 3.

You should then move “flashplayer_32_sa_debug” from your downloads to somewhere you won’t lose or delete it by accident.

After you run it the first time instead of steps 3/4 you should be able to run HM3 by just clicking: File-> https://www.heromachine.com/hm3/heromachine3.swf

“So…has anyone figured out a way to use HM without needing an IT degree?”

Well, I only have MOST of an IT degree, so until then I might be able to help out.

Step 1: Go here first, then scroll down until you find the circled link. It’s pretty much at the very beginning, just under the dragon picture:

Step 2: Follow that link, then download the Flash Player projector content debugger for whatever platform (windows, linux, mac) you’re using.

(I would have liked to link directly to the download page but HM forum wouldn’t let me)
