  • Wildcards and dynamic prompts are a killer feature for getting diversity. You can have ChatGPT output long lists of options and save them as text to pull from, rather than putting the OR options in the prompt. For instance, here’s just a snippet of my 100 line “hair_color_natural_hightlights.txt” wildcard file:

    chestnut brown with sun-kissed golden highlights
    dark blonde with naturally blended caramel highlights
    auburn with subtle coppery undertones and honey highlights
    jet black with hints of espresso brown and warm burgundy highlights
    chocolate brown with natural honey and toffee highlights
    ash brown with delicate pearl-toned highlights
    light brown with sunlit blonde highlights
    

    One question though, are you sure you have the dynamic prompts extension enabled in A111? These all look very similar, and the fact that the OR statement is in the prompt metadata still makes me wonder. Typically, the “brunette | ginger | blonde” would get resolved by the dynamic prompt processor before generation, and the image metadata would only show the single selected term by itself.



  • These are very sweet, and love the embroidery details!

    All of the SDXL models are too airbrushy plastic to my eye, but you can’t argue with the hand quality over the older 1.5 models. One of the things I’m wanting to try is to start with an XL model to get the basic pose structure in place, then finish with the grittier and more realistic 1.5 models. That introduces a whole new level of adjustment knobs to play with!






  • The method I’ve settled on takes a bit of work to put together. First, I upload PNGs to catbox.moe. This preserves metadata so someone can feed the image into the A1111 PNG Info tab, or by copying the url to https://pngchunk.com.

    Next, I upload JPG copies here. That gives me the lemmynsfw hosted url and builds the gallery. Then I put them both together using markdown so that the image gallery is also links to the PNGs. The final format looks like this:

    This seems to work well. The only hiccup is that I need to include the first image twice, once in the post body so it shows in the gallery, and once as the post header image. That works okay in the browser, but some lemmy mobile apps show it as a duplicate.

    Here’s the final result: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/1372540







  • No controlnet or inpainting. Everything was generated in one go with a single prompt. I’ll sometimes use regional prompts to set zones for head and torso (usually top 40% is where the head goes, bottom 60% for torso/outfit). But even when I have regional prompting turned off, it will still generate a 3/4 / cowboy shot.

    I assume you pulled the prompt out of one of my images? If not, you can feed them into pngchunk.com. Here’s the general format I use with regional prompting:

    *scene setting stuff*
    ADDCOMM
    *head / hair description*
    ADDROW
    *torso/body/pose*
    

    The loras that are in the top (common) section are weighted pretty low, 0.2 - 0.3, because they get repeated/multiplied in each of the two regional rows. So I think at the end they’re effectively around 0.6 - 0.8.

    prompt example
    photo of a young 21yo (Barbadian Barbados dark skin:1.2) woman confident pose, arms folded behind back, poised and assured outside (place cav_rdrguarma:1.1),
    (Photograph with film grain, 8K, RAW DSLR photo, f1.2, shallow depth of field, 85mm lens),
    masterwork, best quality, soft shadow
     (soft light, color grading:0.4)
    
    ADDCOMM
    
    sunset beach with ocean and mountains and cliff ruin in the background ,
    (amethyst with violet undertones hair color in a curly layers style:1.2),
     perfect eyes, perfect skin, detailed skin
    
    ADDROW
    
    choker ,
    (pea green whimsical unicorn print bikini set:1.1) (topless:1.3) cameltoe (undressing, panty pull:1.4) 
    (flat breast, normal_nipples :1.4),
    (tan lines, beauty marks:0.6)
    (SkinHairDetail:0.8)
     
    

    It may be that you’re not describing the clothing / body enough? My outfit prompts are pretty detailed, so I think that goes a long way for Stable Diffusion to determine how to frame things.
