Thanks for the tip.
I basically only get things like this, where the prompt acts like a toddler and doesn’t listen at all.

parameters

score_9,score_8_up,score_7_up,score_6_up,score_5_up,score_4_up,

@Thoryn
I don’t know of any way to actually attach images. I generally upload them to https://postimages.org/ and then use the urls from there.

@Lord Waite
Still not seeing any success, no matter how much I emphasize the look or size of the room.
Is it possible to attach images here? Can only see URLs to enter, but I have nowhere to host them.

It does seem rather temperamental. I generally find it helps if you mention things the view needs to be bigger to accommodate. I had some success with this prompt on pony v6:
score_8, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, score_5_up, score_4_up,
source_pony, rating_safe,
cute Pegasus Derpy sleeping under a tree, Christmas, presents, ornaments, star on top of tree, window, ceiling,
god rays,

“star on top of tree” and “ceiling” helped clue it in that it should be a further away shot.

(Generally, the format I use for pony v6 models is score tags, source, rating, a general description, then tags.)

Remember trying those two features a year or two ago, and not making it work. Guess I’ll just have to try again.

Another question though, when prompting do you guys use natural language describing what you envision, or comma,separated,keywords,like,this?
A mixture? Varies by model?
And to “save on tokens”, do you use more concise but lesser used words, or favor using more tokens for more words just in case the model wouldn’t understand the lesser used ones?

At this point, I would just put the tree in manually and img2img/inpaint.

Hello all, I’m hoping people can share their tips and tricks with regards to text-to-image prompting, as I am hitting a few hurdles that seem too silly to be a problem, yet they are.

My most basic issue at the moment, is that I’ve been trying to make some Christmas artwork, where the composition in my head is that there’d be a full view of the tree, with packages and a pony at the bottom of it. Sounds easy and very doable.

The biggest issue I’m having, is that no matter what I prompt, it always crops the tree and only shows the very bottom of it.. in the rare instance it gives me a seed with a full tree, it’s pot-plant sized.

I have tried to put christmas tree at the start of the prompt, majestic christmas tree, full view of christmas tree, big christmas tree etc, as well as putting things like zoomed in, cropped etc in negative prompt. I’ve also tried multiple aspect ratios. (1:1, 16:9 and 9:16)

Is there something obvious with my prompting that I’m doing incorrectly? Do I really need to get a LoRA for such a common thing?

I just wanna put this out there, but PonyXL LORAs can be used in illustrious checkpoints as they’re both SDXL. Anthros or feral ponies won’t turn out as good unless that illustrious checkpoint is specialized for the body type, though I’ve used it myself on human/eqg based characters and the image quality does seem to be generally improved compared to other PonyXL checkpoints.

I like this tiny one :3

Here you already install everything in one click and you can use the Stable Diffusion Forge and the Automatic1111. You can install the ComfyUI in the lykos too.

Nightcafe website has been my go to.

Invoke with a direct link to Krita.

Well, since if you want to see ponies by me, you can just click my profile. I will instead take the opportunity to post some none pony stuff I did:

I’m curious which method/UI people are using for image generation. Is A1111 still widely used? Is ComfyUI more popular than Forge? How many are generating locally compared to online?

I’m actually in a hate/love relationship with Pony (SD XL) in general. In my honest opinion, SD 1.5 was so much better and generating detailed backgrounds. That’s why I, for quite a while actually, used both (like here). Back then I used Aniverse/Anitoon a lot in various versions and just used Pony to do the Characters.

But since it was a huge hassle and my pc crashed 50% of the time switching models one the go, I turned to PonyV6 full time. I used that an Autism for a while, got stuck on T-Ponynai3. It has this light “dirtyness” of left in sketch lines. And it can produce so much more detailed background than PonyV6 in my opinion. Here is an example. The light roughness makes it look a little more hand drawn in my opinion. Pics not done, so that is that.

I only use Loras for human chars. Since most people generated are either muscled dudes or near anorexic big boobed girls, I need them to stray away from that. For ponies I use non at all.

I tried out NoobAI-XL v-pred 1.0 yesterday, https://huggingface.co/Laxhar/noobai-XL-Vpred-1.0:

Wildcarded through a fair few combinations of artist styles when generating this image. Judging from that, it seems to have a better understanding of style and texture than the eps-pred version. It also seems to be slightly worse at fine detail, but that may just be a product of its better understanding of style. It needs further testing with artist tags that do highly detailed works to see if that is a limitation of the model.

@Sunny
It really is a great little engine for making ponies.

i used imagen to generate this

Bit of a note for those posting off-site image here; there’s a “spam protection” system that sends posts with hotlinked images for review, to prevent spam (and worse) attacks. After a month it goes away, but, well, no account (even this one) is older than a month yet…

Still, please do post, and if it gets flagged we’ll try to hit the Approve button ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I am personally interested in the best one can get from the AI pipeline from prompt to output image without human input of any kind after the initial prompt, so nothing I post uses any post-generation editing, not even inpainting. These are a couple of my favorites. I haven’t uploaded much yet, but I’ll be uploading more soon.

Well, I’m not a programmer or anything. Originally I just wanted to ask a question, since it’s a close theme to the site’s theme. AI creativity.

I hope that people will see this question a good base for new way of creativity on site.

And if such forum or even separate mini-site run by Derpibooru, for bots will be created, I highly recommend to split it into SFW and NSFW sections, so bots won’t mix up. So people who just want a wholesome and heartwarming chat with characters won’t bump into a character that is programmed to act like if you put filters to everything completely.

I use bing ai! I’m probably a minority in that due to its censorship but it can produce some good images!

@Zerowinger
I hadn’t considered the lean being a little weird. He does look like he’s walking a little too leisurely to be leaning that much to turn.

The Noob based models seem much better at weapons and armor than other SDXL/1.5 models that I’ve used. The models in general also like to use cutiemarks in places where you might find an emblem.

@AIPonyAnon
Aside from the fact that Shining looks like he’s leaning to one side, I don’t see any issues with the image. I like the armor design you got on him and how it has his cutie mark as an emblem.
