Spacevision LoRA - Space & Sci-Fi Image Generation for Kolors

Author: Khadim Hussain · Project write-up: Kiffusion and SpaceVision

Spacevision is a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) fine-tune of Kwai-Kolors/Kolors-diffusers trained on ~1,964 high-quality space, NASA, and sci-fi images. It generates photorealistic space imagery including satellites, nebulae, galaxies, astronauts, rocket launches, planetary surfaces, and more.

Trigger word: spacevision

Sample Outputs

Example 1: International Space Station

Prompt: "spacevision, Photograph of the International Space Station floating in space with large solar panels extended, Earth's curvature visible below showing blue ocean and white cloud formations against the blackness of space"

Example 2: Satellite in Orbit

Prompt: "spacevision, High-resolution photograph of a satellite in space against a pitch-black background, featuring a cylindrical main body with solar panels extending horizontally showing a golden-brown hue with grid-like pattern of solar cells"

Quick Start

Install dependencies:

pip install diffusers transformers torch accelerate

Using the LoRA adapter (recommended)

import torch
from diffusers import KolorsPipeline

# Load the base Kolors model
pipe = KolorsPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "Kwai-Kolors/Kolors-diffusers",
    variant="fp16",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
)

# Load the Spacevision LoRA weights (one line!)
pipe.load_lora_weights("khadim-hussain/spacevision-kolors-lora")

# Move to GPU
pipe.to("cuda")

# Generate an image
image = pipe(
    prompt="spacevision, Photograph of the Pillars of Creation nebula captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, towering columns of gas and dust glowing in shades of gold and green against a dark starfield",
    num_inference_steps=50,
    guidance_scale=3.4,
    height=1024,
    width=1024,
    generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42),
).images[0]

image.save("spacevision_output.png")

Adjusting LoRA strength

You can control how strongly the LoRA influences the output using cross_attention_kwargs:

# Full LoRA strength (default)
image = pipe(prompt="spacevision, ...", cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 1.0}).images[0]

# Half LoRA strength (more like base model)
image = pipe(prompt="spacevision, ...", cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 0.5}).images[0]

Training Details

Dataset

This model was trained on the khadim-hussain/kiffusion-space-scifi dataset, which contains ~1,964 captioned images across two subsets:

• NASA subset (~915 images): Real space photography from NASA archives including ISS, Hubble telescope imagery, satellite photos, astronaut EVAs, rocket launches, planetary surfaces, nebulae, and galaxy observations
• LAION Sci-Fi subset (~1,049 images): Science fiction artwork and concept art featuring spaceships, futuristic technology, alien worlds, and space exploration themes

All images are auto-captioned with the spacevision trigger word prefix.

The dataset is publicly available on HuggingFace: khadim-hussain/kiffusion-space-scifi

Prompt Tips

• Always include the trigger word spacevision at the beginning of your prompt for best results
• Be descriptive: The model responds well to detailed, NASA-style descriptions mentioning specific objects, colors, and compositions
• Works great with: Nebulae, galaxies, satellites, space stations, astronauts, rocket launches, planetary surfaces, Hubble/JWST imagery, Earth from orbit

Example Prompts

spacevision, NASA photograph of an astronaut performing a spacewalk outside the International Space Station, white spacesuit illuminated by sunlight against the deep black of space with Earth's blue atmosphere glowing on the horizon

spacevision, Hubble Space Telescope deep field image showing thousands of distant galaxies of various shapes and colors, spiral and elliptical galaxies scattered across a dark background revealing the vastness of the observable universe

spacevision, Detailed photograph of the surface of Mars taken by the Curiosity rover showing reddish-brown rocky terrain with layered sedimentary formations, distant mountains on the horizon under a dusty pinkish-tan sky

spacevision, NASA photograph of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launching at night from Cape Canaveral, brilliant orange flame and exhaust plume illuminating the launch pad and surrounding water with streaks of light against a dark sky
