ValiumTen's AI Burial Experiments

Needed to find a way to keep Taylor Swift away from the Superbowl tomorrow so we buried her.

An innocent game of buried in the sand may turn deadly as no one thought to check the tide tables. Hopefully these beauties can be dug out of the sand in time.

Starting up again.

Finding the soft spot at the beach.

Nice!

Just wondering, It seems that Perchance likes to put the subject of the image front and center, like taking up the whole image. Is there a prompt that may move it further away? Like have a head sticking out of the sand in the distance?

Close-up front and centre seems to be the default for a lot AIs and checkpoint models, it isn't just Perchance. I think it is down to the type of images used for training checkpoints - PR shots from the internet. You can, however, give it a bit of a nudge in the direction you want. These suggestions won't always work but you should get some images that are more of what you are looking for.

1. Use landscape or widescreen format, this will usually give more background, but you'll find a lot of subjects are spread out on the surface.

2. Camera direction, you can specify a type of shot and view. Things like "long distance shot", "medium shot", "establishing shot" and, of course "close-up shot", "extreme close-up shot" if required. For views, I've had good results from "overhead view", "High view", "Low view", "side view", "profile", "worms-eye view", "birds-eye view". I've only found one checkpoint model that responds well to "back view" and that wasn't in Perchance.

3. If prompt terms don't appear to be having the effect you want, you can increase their significance by moving them closer to the front of the prompt. You can also "weight" them by enclosing the term in parentheses (round brackets) and adding a weighting factor e.g. ":1.3", this should be placed before the closing parenthesis.

Most of these suggestions should have some effect, it may be intermittent but, hopefully, you'll be able to start getting what you want.
