Hmm, I don’t know, lots of weird stuff. I don’t trust out-of-nowhere crazy walls of text person, so I’ve removed their presence from my mental register.

But I worked out how to do photography, which is what most people seem to be complaining about, so here’s a short guide, hope it helps:

• Use the default T2I.
• Delete the negative prompt.
• Set “style” to “NO STYLE”.

Then just play around with this template:

a low resolution photographic still frame from a cult 1980s b-movie, cinematic close-up portrait shot featuring a lonely wanderer, Jim. Background: Foggy streets of an antique gothic city. Midnight. Lit in ominous hues of purplish blue. Aesthetic: Dark fantasy. Photography Style: Modern avant garde cinema. Second millenium expressionist photography, professionally shot and composed. Natural Lighting: Exquisite strong blue lighting with dramatic deep red accents. Camera: 70mm IMAX MSM 9802. Jim walking through the streets.

Chose some pseudo LaserDisc mambo as baseline but you can change that around, obviously. And then you can keep going. Like say:

Jim walking through the streets. Face: describe Jim's face. Hair: describe Jim's hair. Eyes: same thing for the eyes... Body: idem Clothing: and so on and so on.

That template with a guidance scale of 11 has been working wonders for me, and it’s a simple enough pattern that you can easily modify it. I’m a weird case, because I have characters and style elements saved as JSON files, I just generate these things from an overcomplicated script (6000+ SLOC of spaghetti, should do a clean rewrite in Javascript and make it into a generator at this point…)

Anyway, I’m actually getting better results now than I was getting before the update, across the board. So, I’m sorry to folks having a bad time, but all the despair going around? Calling results useless and horrible and shit and all that? Man, that sounds like a skill issue. This entire situation only took me a wee bit of tinkering to solve, it was next to trivial. I mean, c’mon, people! You can do better! Or you can ask for help, maybe, now that would at least make this a more pleasant environment to be in.

OK OK I’ll stop now. Cheers! :)

cool, i’ll try that! thanks :)

also nice idea with your characters!

in case it gives you ideas when you make your JS, this is how i did mine. ᯽

my keyboard has a mode which allows touching a btn to summon that characters sequence of modules on a div below. Conversion is for Adjectives that describe anything, Feren for adjectives of people, Mer haircolor, Summin for race or culture, Betwyn setting etc. if i touch one once, lets say Eren’s haircolor, it makes it always in prompt. touch again and never. touch again and normal.

Number above each is amount of normal selections in a prompt. since its keyboard, button on right sends directly to focused textedit. this is the one of Dal for generating good nonspecific energy. pushing it.

pretty promptOverloady, lol. i have a ton of characters and individual charactermaking is pretty behind, but, when ready, maybe even right after this lol, i could pick a character to give a Characters sequence of modules to, and do like Adjective, Adjective, Pose, Specific Character, Hair, Setting, etcetc, set it to only make that character, and fine tune all the other settings over time to eventually generate the variation, but of one character, i want. my example is wordsoupy, but nothing stopping it from being precise like your photography and then just tune the variation until perfect for that character.

thats my interface, would love to see yours when you make it!

also i made it so the sequence of modules was easy to try different sequences and thats been helpful. so hopefully thats a useful advice when u make your awesome one. cheers too!

I made a cute crybaby face.
