Seams between tiles were handled with overlapping edges as context and blended joins, exported as a Deep Zoom pyramid loaded by OpenSeadragon, and water-heavy tiles were fixed after an early version placed a second Opera House in the middle of the harbour.", "body_md": "I made [Sydney Pixels](https://sydney-pixel.daib.dev), a zoomable isometric illustration of inner Sydney, from the Harbour Bridge to Central. I got the idea from [Isometric NYC](https://isometric.nyc/).\n\nI captured the city from Google’s photorealistic 3D tiles at a fixed camera angle, then illustrated it in pieces. GPT helped set the style and drew 204 tiles. I ran FLUX.2 klein locally on an M2 Max for the other 38. On my setup, three inference steps took about 50 seconds per local tile.\n\nThe fiddly part was keeping a road or roof lined up where two tiles met. I used overlapping edges as context, blended the seams, and exported a Deep Zoom pyramid so OpenSeadragon could load the detail as you zoom.\n\nOne early version put a second Opera House in the middle of the harbour. For water-heavy tiles, I stopped supplying the general style reference and explicitly told the model to preserve only what was in the source view.\n\nIf you’ve mixed image models across a large canvas, I’d be curious how you kept the style consistent across seams.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sydney-pixels-a-zoomable-isometric-map-with-flux-2-klein-on-an-m2-max", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/sydney-pixels-a-zoomable-isometric-map-with-flux-2-klein-on-an-m2-max/191886#post_1", "published_at": "2026-11-15 05:59:23+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-15 06:22:26.570365+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["generative-ai", "ai-tools", "computer-vision"], "entities": ["Sydney Pixels", "FLUX.2 klein", "M2 Max", "GPT", "OpenSeadragon", "Google", "Isometric NYC"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sydney-pixels-a-zoomable-isometric-map-with-flux-2-klein-on-an-m2-max", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sydney-pixels-a-zoomable-isometric-map-with-flux-2-klein-on-an-m2-max.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sydney-pixels-a-zoomable-isometric-map-with-flux-2-klein-on-an-m2-max.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sydney-pixels-a-zoomable-isometric-map-with-flux-2-klein-on-an-m2-max.jsonld"}}
