Why isn't putting it in the Override folder working for you?

The other day on the DS Discord I suggested that we should make some KOTOR "Feels Good" emojis. I figured it should be possible to generate some through the various machine learning algorithms that have appeared in the last 6-12 months. I especially thought one of the image-to-image ones might be best, since you could use renders of the KOTOR characters and then try to stylise them. I decided to have a crack at it myself. I messed around trying to pose Bastila's model, first her default clothing model and then the underwear model, and then afterwards touched up the image to reduce some elements that the algorithm was choking on (like her eyeshadow and bra straps): The algorithm didn't seem to like the low poly model that much, nor her apparently giant man hands. But here's a selection of what it produced: It insisted on trying to put clothes on her, which I attribute to the crackdown on naked/porn images a while back. Anyway, the results weren't particularly Bastila-like, but here's an attempt to convert one of them to a line drawing more in the style of the meme: And while I was at it, I also tried some text-to-image algorithms. I established that the Bing one has no idea who any of the characters from KOTOR are, but it does know more general Star Wars characters (as evidenced by every request for a Malak or Revan resulting in some sort of Vader-esque result). So leaning into that, I managed to get the following: The Mando one is a little wonky, what with dual-wielding rangefinders and the errant bit of cloth/cape under the right forearm, but overall quite impressive from a purely text-based prompt.
