Seedream 5 Pro dropped this month, and I recently learned it can render one of Michael Myers’ most iconic kills – and my favorite – out of the box, at least in so far as spatial positioning of characters within the context of the scene is concerned. Sadly, it struggles mightily with understanding how deep a kitchen knife should be embedded in a character’s chest to solidify the illusion of them having been impaled above the floor. What’s more, Seedream’s instant popularity as an uncensored image model is wreaking havoc on servers to the point that about 7 out of 10 renders either never finish or fail completely.
My latest piece is the most successful iteration Seedream produced for me, out of countless dozens of attempts that never finished, failed altogether, or rendered the knife in entirely the wrong position. Consequently, this will also be my last attempt at this scenario until demand for the model stabilizes, though there’s no telling when that’ll be…
On that note, enjoy Manager’s Last Shift!
