⚄︎ 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!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • 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.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

For the life of me, I cannot get this AI to understand. I tried with the simplest prompts, the most complex prompts, I just cant get it to do this. I am trying to achieve a slicked back, extremely tightly-pulled severe ponytail.

That scraped back look, like Ariana used to do, or that you see in fashion shoots now and then. If you just google "extremely tight ponytail," the world is full of examples, but apparently this AI has simply never heard of such a thing.

Not only can I not get it to do this, half the shots are from the back. Even if I specify a front view, it wants to show me a rear view of a ponytail. When it does show from the front (or even side, fine, I'll take it...) it always responds with some weird-ass poof at the scalp, and fucking flyaway hairs that frame the face. Every time with those flyaways, grrrr. I used to get this by adding a bunch of negatives, but now I just cant make it happen.

Trying for extremely tight, scraped back, gelled down, so-tight-it-hurts ponytail.

Help me Obi Wan...

I generated these with my prompt. I think this is what you were going for. Some of them were "cherry picked" as my way of prompting doesn't always work, but these were absolutely generated with my prompt, many of them actually (when I increased the numbers of images). I used some of the AI image model's (a random generator from Perchance) settings like guidance and art style (didn't really help much until I put real human being/photograph in the prompt...bruh moment). No flyaways, no buns :3

I can share a erm vanilla version of the prompt, should get the about the same result:

woman with long and tall ponytail that sits up high on top of head, the ponytail is pulled-back-tightly/slicked back with gel and stretches the forehead. The woman is a real human being. She is in a professional photograph. Avoid styles, increase guidance (try 12-15), and increase number of images (10 is okay, 20 is good, 30 is great, 40-60 is amazing!)
