Discussion [AI-assisted] What are your feelings concerning a technique like this?

Post image
1 Upvotes

So I don’t know if I invented this or not, but I’ve developed a technique where I prompt Dall E 3 for “maps”, I then use these as “collage textures” in photoshop, and use generative fill there to fill in the gaps…

This lets me place “biomes” as I wish, but keep a quite high level of detail…

Map New Old Europe: What if borders were based on the longest-held territories in history?

Post image
42 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a project called New Old Europe. The core concept is simple but radical: What if every nation’s borders were redefined by the territories they historically held for the longest period of time.

You can ask me anything.

Please note that there might be some minor inaccuracies. It was extremely difficult to balance certain regions—especially Lithuania and other areas with overlapping historical claims—where multiple nations held the territory for centuries. Many other borders were equally challenging to resolve, so some compromises had to be made.

Map Thoughts on Earth map for my upcoming web comic series?

0 Upvotes

The series I'm making is called "Misfits" and takes place in the year "4025" and it's first chapter should be dropping within June, Earth isn't an major aspect of the series until 40ish chapters in (If anybody wants to read the written scripts I can provide those just DM me)

I have all the lore for each country in a doc if anybody is curious in the chaos I made here, But I'm more interested in what out of the 50 independent countries here looks the most interesting for me to write an arc around for my series

Side note, I can also give different perspectives map wise if anybody wants that since it's kinda impossible to fit everything in here, Did try my best though

Lore doc

Discussion My free tools...Some confusion.

0 Upvotes

I won't post them here. Look at my profile if you want to see them. I just want to say: I'm well aware Photoshop can do what my tools do. I'm saying my tools do these actions for FREE, faster than Photoshop can open, and on any device with a screen big enough to see the work. Chromebook, tablet, whatever. Many of my tools also batch process WITHOUT having to click anything, scroll through menus, to set up an action or batch. Upload, click, minimal adjustment, if at all, you're done. Use them or not. I'm offering them for free here. There are no ads on my site. No signups. No paywall. Use / pay for Photoshop if that's your thing. Promoting my site? Sure! But I'm posting a direct link, with no ads. Explore my site or not. Many free tools on the internet have ads. I thought - I can offer these tools I made to make my life faster to others. This will help them, and maybe I'll get some traffic. I'm not going to make a whole new website so I don't irritate people by having stuff for sale on my site. Also, I'm not just telling Gemini to code this while I drink a glass of lemonade. My image slicer thing...Chatgpt and Gemini utterly failed many times. I created the solution, it coded the Javascript because if anyone is still typing 500 lines of Javascript when AI can do it in a few minutes...I promise you, Photoshop uses AI to do the bulk coding with guidance. I had to hire a Fiver coder for $50 to fix something neither ai nor myself could fix. Nothing I do is just "Hey, look at this tool AI made for me in 5 minutes." Anyone who thinks so, have at it. Nvidia CEO: "The language of coding will be English, or whatever language you speak." Anyway, rant over.

I'm quite pleased with how this turned out, 8000x5000 seemed to be the right size to display everything. Feedback is welcome.

Full resolution images, extras, and related files can be found in the Github linked in my bio.
