⚄︎ 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.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

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.

Hi all,

first off I'd just like to say how blown away I am by the potentials of Perchance. I bet to most of you this is baby stuff but for me this is my first step in to this world and its just incredible stuff.

So I have a question...more so to if its possible and then I'll properly wrap my head around the coding of it.

I'm looking to create a short sequence of scenes, like a still animation. Some time the background will stay the same but the character would change pose say. Or maybe the background (say a kitchen scene as example) may change camera angle/view and the character would change position/pose. Im not looking to create frame by frame stuff. Just scene changes but retaining features through out. I totally can see it being possible to do, was just hoping to hear some advice from people that have much more experience than I do.

If any of that doesn't make sense (most probably!) please just ask and I'll try to better explain.

TIA

Sam

p.s. Oh I should probably state that I plan to use t2i to create the scenes, then overlay/combine character and adjust accordingly

cool idea and welcome!

started typing stuff but i think more info would be handy first.

of note is that i know on the site Playground, which is advanced and uses Stable Diffusion XL to generate images (perchance uses the Stable Diffusion before XL), you could generate a character and a scene, then edit the scene file and copypaste the image of the character on to it, then ask the ai to recognize what is in the picture and redraw it. Then you would get a 'seamless' combo picture of the specific character but in a different scene. The issue doing that here is that perchance, as far as i know, does not have the ability to recognize an image and generate something from it. I will eventually make my own SD XL server, but with many steps between here and there, so we will eventually have this power but not yet.

you could also split a prompt in to two parts and have a character and a scene and allow editing the scene prompt and character prompt separately so the same character could be generated with multiple different background scenes. very highly doable and simple codewise.

it is also slightly harder but within reach to get the images out of the generator, so if, for example, you want to place a big box on the topleft of your screen which is an image of a background, and then place another image on top of it, you can and i or we can show you how. Sounds like this may be what you are going for and is highly doable and i bet i could show you even tho i don't know ti2.

If you want to do something like the above and have transparent backgrounds for the image of the character, i believe that is something perchance lacks currently, though I believe I can create something that will postprocess your character image in that way.

that's just what comes to mind now. "Is it possible?"

if you figure out more of what you want and more detail i will respond more exactly. :)

p.s. Ive just looked up the site Playground you suggested. Landing page it highlights the very thing, two images integrated. Ive not been on the site so have no idea as to the UI and whats involved....but if Im honest, I quite like the idea of coding it myself and really deep diving in. Also I think having the images seperate still might be handy, I dont know!? But it'll be quite fun to explore. This whole project has evolved for me...I want to create a portfolio of music compositions for film/TV etc.. and was going to use old silent movies. But then pondered the idea of creating my own. Animation would be too labour intensive (I think...well in these preliminary stages anyway) so thought about creating stills. Started exploring AI possibilities, discovered perchance today and was blown away by it! Fits what Im looking for perfectly. Coding it bespoke to my project will provide so much versatility and potential. So it looks like Im back to school!

Also, I wasn't sure if the image would differ if I altered the prompt itself and so would lose continuity? Was thinking that maybe setting up the generator to have conditions that cover the alterations so would only change say 'viewpoint' and use the same seed? again, completely new to this and just piecing bits together so most likely completely arse about face way to do it! lol

"to create a portfolio of music compositions for film/TV etc"

do you make music?

here's a cute thing: setInterval(function(){

},3000)

is javascript for 'do something every 3000 miliseconds'

if you have constant BPM in your songs you can align your 'animation' exactly to your song :)

Yes I do make music. This is a really cool idea to have in your back pocket..once Im a bit further down the line will see if it comes in to fruition! thanks
