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. :)

"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." may be what you are seeking and most doable, though it may not do it to the quality you want :)

does this sound like what you would like to try for first? i could make an example generator that does this :)

this is brilliant too 👍

@mindblown Woah, this has to be the most commented post on this community, there's so much discussion poured around this very topic.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] So I wanted to give little update. Not only to keep you guys in the loop but to pull myself back in to check. There are so many rabbit holes I keep delving in to and the reality is, I think (bar a couple of bits) I have the functionality and tools here anyway. I'm going to develop the structure of it here. Or at least a base version to expand on.

My plan..... Although it has been suggested that one generator would be sufficient, my idea is to use multiple gens. and funnel down the outputs. As an example....First phase, scene/background generation. All the variables available to create the initial style/scene. 1 image created and put to the side temporarily (Output = Image A). Continue on to character generation (initial variable being how many characters in the scene. In which more cycles would be added to accommodate character volume. The image created from this run is the base position character (Output = Image B). The overlay/combining images 'How to' is still in the works so we'll just say that's happening now. What I would like is for that to be a relatively straight forward process (Output = Image C). BUT....That's not the end! The next generation is the image manipulation phase. So most of the required data will automatically be funnelled down from the previous. Initial selection to ascertain what outputs are changing (which will then automatically populate the variables that are the firm Un-changeable's. The variants for Output A will be different to Output B (A's being framing, focus, lighting etc, B's being poses, focus) and input selections will be limited to suit (as the core data that's already been funnelled and populated is fundamental to retain continuity so wont be amended in any way ). Output D &/or E generated. To then utilise the Output C generator again, maybe with a further addition of referencing the earlier Output Image C as well. My thinking to further ringfence what the intended style/feel is. (but maybe it would cause a negative effect...not sure). Output = Image F. This cycle can then be further repeated to create additional scenes.

I intend to utilise this system (creating scenes of multiple variations, all generated from the same core data) to be my method for creating 'Acts'. Meaning all of the relevant data is still live, as well as being utilised that way too by funnelling it throughout. Once I've created a base model of this idea it'll give me further insight in to what works, what doesn't, what it needs, what it doesn't etc etc. and if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not!

Would love to hear your feedback/suggestions/concerns/criticisms! In my head it works....but that doesn't mean it actually works! lol!
