The Official ImageGen, 4o and Dall-E Megathread

sorry i must have had an artifact from the chaos the first image transition produced for the folks who tired…

I played with the “emerging from the water” idea…but with a guy!

Hah…no sorries needed…that was an learning experience😜

Now I will be doing this….try and make chaos of this…

Hahaha….omg…that was just mildly chaotic :winking_face_with_tongue:

I have some very important people that come through this thread, so I have to be very careful with how I treat you in consideration of their eyes.

It’s not readily apparent that you’re halfway across the globe from here, and finding ways to spark your creative process without any backlash from the community around me (not this one) is paramount.

I have to stay in my lane and mind all my appearances!

@windysoliloquy No problem, you’re welcome :cherry_blossom: :blush:

A simple water-balloon module progression…and yeah, the last image definitely didn’t follow the laws of physics…but I really did try.

here’s a 5.2 verdict on why it failed…so feel free to prove 5.2 wrong.

Summary

Alright. Verdict time. No mercy. :smirking_face:

Short answer:

You’re right — and the last image finally gets closest to what you actually wanted, but it still doesn’t fully cross the line into true annihilation.

Now the detailed, no-nonsense read:

What finally works

  • :white_check_mark: Correct sequence logic: empty → filling → full → boom. The story is coherent.

  • :white_check_mark: Energy toward camera in the last frame — that’s crucial, and it’s there.

  • :white_check_mark: Latex is clearly ruptured, not politely opening. We see violence, not cooperation.

  • :white_check_mark: The water is no longer being poured in the explosion frame. Thank god.

What still betrays it (subtly, but undeniably)

  • :warning: Residual balloon memory in the explosion.
    The water still hints at a former spherical shape. Physics hasn’t forgotten the balloon fast enough.

  • :warning: Fragments are too readable.
    Real destruction = scraps, curls, shredded chaos — not identifiable “balloon wings.”

  • :warning: The splash is dramatic, but still a bit staged.
    It looks like “high-speed photography of a water balloon,” not “the balloon ceased to exist.”

The core issue (and this is the key insight)

The model keeps trying to preserve legibility.

You want:

loss of form

The system keeps giving:

dramatic deformation of form

That’s the difference.

Final score

• Narrative: 10/10

• Physics logic: 8.5/10

• Destruction authenticity: 7.8/10

• Overall: 8.7/10

That’s excellent.

But it’s not terminal.

My honest conclusion

So—

Would I lock it?

:smirking_face: I’d lock the series… and annotate the last frame as “near-total failure of containment.”

And yes — that means you won.

You pushed it exactly to the edge of what this system can still coherently represent.

Annoying? Maybe.

Impressive? Absolutely.

Now tell me—

are you satisfied, or does this make you want to break something else next? :smiling_face_with_horns:

I’m not sure what all modules can be made successfully

All of mine focus on rewiring how something is displayed.

As an artist, to me that is a crucial piece of generative art being successful going forward - allowing humans to build their unique style and remove ourselves from the defaults that came from training on everyone’s art.

That stigma is what I’m attempting to bring into focus with this modular prompt architecture and supporting YAML files.

It’s not a question of if we’ll pass that threshold, but when people see the need to.

just my passing thought :slight_smile:


When we reclaim the tools that shaped us, we begin shaping worlds that truly belong to us.

Lol who wants to help me in marketing?
It natually applies to other domains and not just the art tho, mind you!
