⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

I have tried everything I can think of to get perchance image generator to produce images of characters standing in either the classic T or A pose. Also, while I can sometimes convince it to generate an image that is 100% face on to the "camera" and full-length from head to feet inclusive, I cannot get a side or rear view.

What I would really like to do is create 3 high-res images in 1, Front, Side and Rear of the same character with a plain grey background. If anyone has had any consistent luck with all or any part of my goal, I would be very grateful if you could share the appropriate part of your prompt.

I am in the process of teaching myself character modeling and would dearly love a reference source I have full control over. Didn't realize AI could be so "dumb" or "obstinate"

Thanks, in advance for any help you might be able to give.

Try using "character turnaround" or other similar terms for that kind of layout.

I just tried using this prompt, and got stuff that look something like what you're after: head to toe character design, character turnaround, front back side plain background BREAK background grey

So don't think that you are describing an image, it is imagining an image based on your description, and then drawing that image. That's not what is going on at all.

AI isn't being dumb or obstinate. AI is not thinking. It has no brain. It has seen lots of images, with text associated with them. It's compared them and noticed patterns associated with a particular term. When you put terms into the prompt, it is lining up those patterns and using them to form an image. AI is not smart, it is not feeling cooperative or unhelpful. So thinking of it in that way is not useful. It actually is dumb.

It's job, in its dumb way, is to trick people into thinking it's an image made by a real person. That's all.
