- discussion=https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49674973, title=Show HN: EarthToPixels – Turning real cities into explorable pixel art, Hi HN! A few friends and I built EarthToPixels, a project that turns real-world cities into explorable pixel-art maps. We fine-tuned an open-source Qwen image model and built a pipeline that takes aerial imagery, generates pixel-art tiles, and keeps neighboring generations visually continuous so they can be stitched into a large map. We built the pipeline to work with arbitrary coordinates rather than a specific city. For the first complete render, we chose our hometown: João Pessoa, Brazil.
