Krea 2 is one of the best models I've used, I think everyone gave up too soon on trying to get it to break out from it's defaults...it surprised me how well it did 2d illustration styles with such clarity using two passes.

Look, that may very well be the case but the examples I've seen match what I was getting locally. They're just not impressive to me in terms of realism, it's okay for someone to like it, I'm not saying that you shouldn't...it's just that it does't hit in terms of quality for realistic images. People like that fake gritty cell phone look and I just think that it has limited use. I guess if the porn brained really need to goon on a GTX 1070 it works. 😂

I've changed my opinion before, maybe someone will share good examples someday. Zooming in on any of it, it just looks bad to my eyes.

This is a decent model, I still use mine from time to time when I need a print. Make sure the gantry is really bolted on I found this to be very finicky on mine if it’s loose you’ll waste a lot of time thinking it’s belts or something else when you get inconsistent/sloppy prints. I’d just make sure it’s all tightened up. Last I checked all of the parts are relatively cheap to replace, I ended up installing Klipper and Moonraker via Raspberry Pi on mine to unlock some speed because the default firmware on the control unit was very conservative.

I know this sucks to hear but you’re not entitled to anything. 👍🏼

This is like saying software and video games should all be free because they were coded and programmed with free languages.

Yeah, I don’t mind people monetizing for their time and effort, you can always just train your own stuff, right?

The irony of the brand being "Be quiet!" – That's annoying enough to me that I'd want to just swap out the PSU for something else. I really like the Corsair line of PSUs, they've been problem free on two of my newer builds for a couple of years now, check them out.

Here is an example of what my prompts look like:

integrated_multimodal_description: [Shot 1] Black-and-white 1960s television footage, 4:3 aspect ratio, heavy film grain, soft focus at the edges, slight gate weave and occasional dust specks. A wide establishing shot at eye level frames a tidy, old-fashioned English kitchen in the late afternoon, with a checkered tile floor, lace curtains on a small window, a dresser lined with floral china plates, and a round wooden table covered with a crisp white tablecloth. Soft, pale daylight falls through the curtains, leaving the corners of the room in gentle shadow. The camera holds a static shot, positioned at a three-quarter angle on her right side. At the table sits a small, slightly stooped elderly woman in her late seventies. Her silver-white hair is pinned into a tight, neat bun at the back of her head with tortoiseshell pins, a few fine wisps escaping at her temples. She wears small, round, wire-rimmed spectacles that hang from a thin beaded chain around her neck. Her face is soft and deeply lined, with sharp, pale, watchful eyes, thin lips tinted with faded pink lipstick, and a faint dusting of powder on her cheeks. She wears a high-collared white lace blouse buttoned to the throat, fastened with an oval cameo brooch, under a soft gray knitted cardigan, with small pearl earrings and a thin gold wedding band on her slender, knobbly fingers. Her movements are small, slow, and precise. On the table sits a china teapot and three teacups on saucers. She pours tea into the first cup with great care, her little finger slightly raised, her gaze directed slightly off camera to frame left, as if speaking to an unseen guest. The elderly woman with a light, prim, older English voice (S1) says pleasantly: <d>[English] Nobody ever moves away from Ashcombe Lane, dear.</d> [Shot 2] At 00:04.500, the camera cuts to a medium close-up from the same side and angle, framing her head and shoulders. She tilts her head to one side like a small bird, peers at her guest over the top of her spectacles, and gives a tight, closed-mouth smile. Her eyeline stays to frame left. She continues sweetly: <d>[English] The Pembertons tried. And that nice young couple at number nine.</d> She dabs the corner of her mouth with a folded lace handkerchief. [Shot 3] At 00:09.500, the camera cuts to a close insert of the table as her hand pours tea into the second cup, then moves to the third cup and pours that one too, slowly and carefully, without spilling a drop. [Shot 4] At 00:11.500, the camera cuts to a close-up of her face from the same side, filling the frame, her pale eyes fixed off camera to frame left, unblinking. She smooths the front of her cardigan with one hand and says softly: <d>[English] They’re all still here. In a manner of speaking.</d> [Shot 5] At 00:15.500, the camera cuts to an extreme close-up of her eyes behind her spectacles. She slowly turns her head and looks directly into the camera, breaking her eyeline, and her tight little smile widens just slightly. [Shot 6] At 00:17.500, the camera cuts back to the wide establishing shot. She sits perfectly upright with her hands folded neatly in her lap, smiling at the camera, and with two fingers she slides the third cup of tea across the tablecloth toward the viewer.

overall_soundscape: A soft, ticking kitchen clock, faint birdsong outside the window, and the gentle bubbling of a kettle cooling on the stove run throughout, with a faint vinyl-like crackle of old audio. The delicate trickle of pouring tea and the light clink of china play as she pours. Her voice is light and prim. A soft rustle of lace plays as she dabs her mouth. The birdsong stops abruptly as she delivers her final line, leaving only the clock ticking. A soft, low hum rises as she looks into the camera, and a slow, scraping slide of a china saucer across the tablecloth plays as she pushes the cup forward.

non_diegetic_music: An eerie 1960s score begins with a dainty, polite harpsichord melody under her opening line, adds a thin, slightly off-key celesta as she mentions the neighbors, slows during the pouring insert, drops away entirely for her final line, then returns with a single wavering theremin note and a soft, dissonant string chord as she looks into the camera and slides the cup forward.

Thanks. The audio and the voices are all just text prompted for, it's all just native H3 text to video. I liked the audio as well, first clip is a bit warbled but overall it's good. I used about 33 5-6 second clips to train with, some of these were dialogue because I really wanted the LoRA to pick up on the cadence and the general tone of the dialogue.

Boy oh boy, I’ve been afraid to say ANYTHING negative about that model, it’s all good if these are real people just enjoying something new, but it does feel forced to me for a model that looks worse than SDXL in many respects. Krea 2 and Z Image Turbo are still the best of the bunch IMO.

Yeah, I’ve been totally surprised by how much this model can do, it feels almost limitless once you get tinkering. Accents are pretty good and I’m impressed with the timing of delivery in a lot of clips.

Thanks, love Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Alfred Hitchcock Hour, ahead of its time. 👍🏼

These have such a great picture, hope you can get it working.

This looks fantastic, thank you! Can’t wait to mess around with it tonight.

How does one even play this thing in handheld mode without cramping their wrists and forearms? My partner’s Switch 2 feels so heavy and awkward. Nice display but I could have lived with half the battery life to make it lighter. The sweet spot is the Switch OLED IMO.

👍🏼 Yes, never said it was the best example.

Looks so good! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

I just prompted an LLM to make a visualizer with threejs, ffmpeg and Chrome based on the audio and it took off running.

Thanks , I don't have the exact prompt but try something like this:

Build me an offline, audio-reactive synthwave music visualizer that renders a 1920x1080 60fps MP4 from an audio file, using Node.js, three.js, headless Chrome (puppeteer) and ffmpeg.

Two stages:

1. Analysis script (analyze.js): use ffmpeg to decode the audio to mono 48 kHz PCM, run an FFT per video frame (4096 window, Hann), and write a features.json with per-frame values: sub / bass / low-mid / mid / high / air band energy, RMS, a 48-bin log-spaced spectrum, spectral flux, detected kick and snare onsets, auto-detected BPM plus beat and bar phase, and a slow "intensity" envelope for section detection. Normalise everything by percentile so values sit in 0..1.

2. Renderer (index.html + render.js): a three.js page that draws any frame purely from the frame index and the precomputed features, so frames can be rendered in any order by several headless browsers in parallel. A Node script launches N headless Chrome instances with GPU enabled, each renders a slice of the frame range, reads the pixels with readPixels, streams them over a WebSocket into its own ffmpeg (libx264, crf 15) and the segments are concatenated at the end. Include a preview.js that screenshots a few chosen frames to PNG so I can iterate on the look, and a ?live=1 mode that plays the audio in the browser and renders in real time.

The look (1980s Italo-disco / outrun):

- Gradient dusk sky with a big striped sun on the horizon, a soft halo, and a mirrored spectrum-bar ring radiating around the sun.

- Neon grid floor scrolling toward the horizon, speed boosted by kicks, with glowing waves that travel out to the horizon on each kick and a beat-synced pulse. Spectrum "mountains" rise on either side of the grid.

- Chrome 3D title text (TextGeometry, metallic material with a hand-painted equirect env map) with a neon glow copy behind it, a smaller subtitle, and a few drifting chrome spheres. Title flies in over the first few seconds.

- Twinkling stars that brighten with high frequencies.

- Lasers that fan out only in loud sections (gated by intensity).

- Post: bloom, then a VHS pass with barrel distortion, chromatic aberration, scanlines, vignette, grain, and horizontal tear jitter on snares. Fade in at the start, fade out at the end.

- Camera slowly drifts and pushes in with intensity, with tiny kick-driven FOV bumps.

Make the title, subtitle and theme configurable via URL params, and ship two colour themes (pink/cyan sunset and teal/gold ocean). Smooth all reactive values with asymmetric attack/decay envelopes precomputed at page load so motion is punchy but never jittery. Keep it in six small files: package.json, analyze.js, index.html, serve.js, preview.js, render.js. Give me the full code plus the commands to analyse a track, preview frames, render, and mux the audio back in.

Me too! I say give it some time, who knows we might even get a bigger parameter count model from this lab that solves some of the issues you mentioned. It leaves me hopeful that open source music generation will be a bigger thing soon. The earlier Suno models were so much fun because they had variety, LoRAs kind of make it similar to that.

It’s still early and I’m hoping the community will find new ways to improve the outputs via experimentation. I’m already seeing some ComfyUI nodes for building out melodies manually with a piano roll and stuff like that.

Made my morning better, thanks for this comedic gold. 😂

Out of the box not great at instrumental but someone made a LoRA that’s supposed to take care of that, still throws in occasional vocals.
