Bonus: What's down that hole?
This bonus post is now unlocked for everyone!
In the main post I experimented with Pixray Swirl, which I could use to build an image and then sort of zoom into it. It took me a while to get the hang of steering, and I never quite got precise enough to aim into the precise center of where I wanted to go.
![A single hole with a people standing on various interior ledges looking down. The camera zooms in on a spot a little to the left of the actual hole, and the ground beside the hole widens and starts to look like continents.](https://www.aiweirdness.com/content/images/2021/11/looking-down-a-hole-into-the-center-of-the-earth.gif)
It charitably tries to keep the hole in the frame, since at least it knows that every frame is supposed to contain a hole. But my aim was definitely off. And I think the bottom of the hole ended up getting further away?
This was my first attempt at steering into a hole, and I was WAY off.
![The camera zooms quickly away from the deepest cave tunnel and into a fold in the ceiling. The stalactites bleed a little and the glowing mushrooms look pretty, but the effect is spoiled by cartoon super mario faces that appear on the walls.](https://www.aiweirdness.com/content/images/2021/11/deep-dark-cave-tunnel-with-stalactites-and-glowing-mushrooms---artstation---eggplant-dark-royal-blue-robins-eggs-blue.gif)
I also learned that the word "mushroom" is pretty much poisoned by association with Super Mario, and any attempt to use the word "mushroom" in a serious prompt is doomed by goofy cartoon faces.
Here I did slightly better at steering! We never got to the end of the corridor but I think we got somewhere.
![It is definitely a spaceship interior filled with carnivorous plants, most of which resemble some sort of pitcher plant. The camera heads down a long hallway, down which are more plants and some person with a bowl cut covering their eyes.](https://www.aiweirdness.com/content/images/2021/11/carnivorous-plants-fill-the-long-corridors-of-a-spaceship.gif)
I really want to know why the person with the purplish bowl haircut keeps showing up whenever I do a prompt involving poisonous plants.
