Wow, someone finally made Poland-filter. It all looks exactly like I'm used to.

> someone finally made Poland-filter

The UK is feeling left out and would like a word.

What would happen if you run it on a spacecraft? Blank image comes back?
There should be a effect intensity slider. East Germany <-> Poland <-> Russia
It really nails the Boston / MIT campus in November vibe.
That's funny, the second example is the Peace Bridge in Calgary.

On a nice day the render actually looks close to the real thing!

I think the third is plaza de España in Madrid, Spain. I was actually wondering why it looked familiar.
The bridge looks much better than the anti-shine version in person (no boxes!), though they replaced the glass due to vandalism.
Ya it actually looks quite good
> From the site: Get back what it'll actually look like on a random Tuesday in November

It's Calgary. The landscape will be a lot snowier anytime in November.

I ran it on the "society if..." meme lol

You are a genius.
This was the first thing I thought of, and it's gotten the hug of death now; thank you for uploading it.
If it could add mold and rust stains to the concrete it'd be perfect.
Complete aside, but it's beyond infuriating I need to enable a VPN here in the UK to view this link.
This looks like the average abandoned World's fair location from the 2000s
Looks like a lot of the "millennium" architecture (late 90s-early 00s) we have around my home city.
This looks like a scene out of Enterprise.
This is ingenious and actually useful. I'm looking for a new apartment and I always wanted to know how do these places look in a bad weather, because that's when I need beautiful surroundings the most.
They still look great on a rainy November day. A nice cozy, quiet vibe.
This filter seems to also change some architectural details and features, as well as degrade the quality of some materials in an unrealistic way.
It's GenAI. It does something that's kind of like what you asked it to do, but it will skip some details or add other ones or whatever.

Dreary architectural pictures will be more likely to have electrical boxes, poor materials, etc, so when it moves the buildings from the latent space for cheery bright architectural renderings to dreary wet November architectural renderings, it will be more likely to add some of those details, because that's what's in its latent space.

Don't expect GenAI to be magic.

I put in an image and it generated piles of shipping pallets along a walkway.

It also added drainage that would actually improve the building.

It's AI, it makes things up.
I am very curious if this app is making money or are users just using the two generators and then leaving? If so I am very impressed with your wrapper around the image gen models.
Nano Banana is indeed a powerful model :)
Used it on some Fortnite screenshots, I'd play that depressing version!

Then I thought what would it make from an already dark and grim scene, like HL2 Ravenholm

https://files.catbox.moe/d7z77h.jpg

but nothing really? Just made the whole thing a different color scheme + changed some architecture

That first scene especially looks like straight out of Fallout 4 but with a better lighting engine.
Top one having some Fallout vibes.
And the real killer app of contact lens AR will be ... this in reverse.

Ha this is great - I always thought this would be a brilliant application for AI.
Wow. Umm, the "free generations" limit is running on a client-based honour system...
It would be great if I can run this as a browser extension that works on Zillow and Redfin.
Used it on the line. That got dark fast..
does this work on people
Just wait till Meta comes out with AR glasses that do!
Getting a 402 error payment required when I try to run this, I'm guessing all of the credits for the API account have been used up. Great idea though!
I keep getting "Edge Function returned a non-2xx status code." Run out of tokens?
What is it with people?

Is there some weird force dropping electrical enclosures on bridges (the cables on top even?) and random places in the street.

Those random protruding manholes next to two other drainage gates nowhere near a slope?

Why are these even the examples.

This is just like turning the HDR tone mapping up to 200%

This is not about accuracy or logic, but for showing a potential feeling and atmosphere of the places.
These necessary things are usually missing from the original plans as people who do these have no idea how actually cities function, so oftentimes they are an afterthought and actually look like that. It's like when you look at pictures of electric appliances and they almost always hide the cords.
The absolutely 100% leafless trees stretched my suspension of disbelief a bit. They look less like "end of fall/beginning of winter" and more like "dead".

Also, the model goes a bit overboard with the electrical appliances. I had to laugh at the bridge one.

Apart from that, it's a great idea!

This does more than remove shine. It makes every building look like it's in the UK!
The rust stains in realistic locations on the bridge is very well done.
It's because of Autodesk BIM no?
