Looking Glass | ƨƨɒlӘ ϱniʞoo⅃

Laconic:

Looking Glass places the subject of your image behind, through or within a frame with glass or a mirror, finding themselves peering, breaking or stepping through; or perhaps finding themselves trapped on the other side of the glass.

Loquacious:

Do you have an idea where a person, creature or unknowable entity shows what little regard it has for the thin barrier that separates us from the realms of dreams, the resting places of cosmic horrors, infernal landscapes, planes beyond fragile human imagination or even the outdoors? Then you and I might have something in common and I'm not talking about a steady regiment of prescription medicine!

Looking Glass is a resource that suits portrait images where the subject is indifferent to what side of the frame they're on, or recreations of burglars who have unresolved anger issues that's tragically misdirected towards panes of glass. Ingress, egress, or trespass - the world's your oyster. You choose your own vestibules.

In short, this LoRA was made with the idea of portals, mundane or otherwise, being intruded upon by another world of some kind.

I personally tended to use the following settings, but out of personal preference than tried-and-tested optimization. I'm nothing if not someone that loves seeing experimentation.

Trigger: l00kingglass
Optional Prompts: aperture, doorway, frame, entryway, mirror, opening, painting, portal, window

My typical generation parameters:

Weight: 0.7 - 1.0
Steps: 20 - 30
CFG Scale: 3.5 - 6
HiRes Fix Denoising: 0.35 - 0.6
Sampling: Euler a, DPM++ 2M (various), Kohaku_LoNyu_Yog
Scheduler: Karras, Laplace

The above are just what I found myself using, not out of some exhaustive testing as to what works best. I'm a big fan of experimentation when it comes to these things.

I also used really simple shapes to create ControlNet (Depth, Weight 1.4, Starting 0, Ending 0.9) to influence the shapes and locations of the entrances - a white circle or square on a black background will do the trick. Multiple shapes work as well, though beyond 2 primary shapes results can become unreliable. But it can be something simple as this:

If you're just looking for broken glass and not all the other strangeness, I highly recommend:

Now go on out there and deal with the ramifications of starting too deeply into the mirror!
