Just to be clear right off the bat, I DESPISE this change.
Pros:
- Generated images can be very realistic and of high quality.
- New image size is available.
Cons:
- Generates different people with different facial features every time, there’s no consistency, no matter how many different prompts or entire sentences were provided.
- Even after trying to avoid weird, deformed images one’ll get a few straight-up UGLY AS SIN or absurd images in between a number of generations. I swear I’d never get anything even close to being “ugly” with the previous model, unless I prompted something like ‘Cursed photo’.
- The model can’t draw any resemblance to celeb faces anymore, even if one tries, it generates a random face.
- The amount of time it takes to generate now is around 3x longer, sometimes it just fails and retries.
Lastly, the previous model, which had been in use for over a year, was replaced overnight, like literally. All the prompts that everyone had created over so long and with care, suddenly became meaningless. I had to create an account just to check if it’s only my pain that I’ve to bear.
- There is consistency if you use the same seed to generate images. I frequently save the seeds so I can create several variations of the same picture. In this example, I have the same woman being generated, sometimes with different glasses or minor variations:
- Haven’t had this issue. I’ve had it far more with the old model than this one. Especially messed up faces when the subject was slightly distant.
- Some people have posted some celebrities on reddit, like Taylor Swift. But yes, far more people found many celebrities that didn’t work.
- This one I agree. Seems at least better today, not sure if something was changed at all.
I wasn’t talking about anime or furry faces bruh
Me neither. What are you on about?
I gave you proof the seed system preserves details of the image. It is not tied to the style of the image.
It’s a stretched solution and does not count as a positive side of this model either. Actually, you’d know the issue in the first place what I meant by not creating ‘consistent faces’ if you had been working with realistic faces for a year or so, which I doubt
“Stretched solution”? What do you even mean? It is a feature. The old model had a seed system as well, was that a “stretched solution” there too?
And by the way, I was still able to generate similar faces even without using a seed:
I’m pretty happy with the new model. :) By far what makes me truly happy is that it can make attractive anime dudes, instead of giving them all a page hairstyle. I fear I truly cannot relate to everyone sad they can’t make characters with the same face, as for me that felt impossible in the previous model, as well. Petra seems to have proven quite well that it’s possible, though. The only thing for me is hands are constantly fucked up, but that’s just the same as the old model.
I don’t know about you guys but when i tried to use the more realistic artsyles on the old one it always looked Bizarre with deformed limbs and faces. i had to use the drawn anime style not because i wanted to but because it was the only good one. now all styles look decent
You’re silly referring to NSFW creations, aren’t you? 😏
yea because for swf there are way more free alternatives that are better than perchance but perchance is the only one that doesn’t censor or cost money
Have to agree,I despise (and despair) at what’s been done to this site…what on earth has happened to “50s enamel sign” for instance?!..the celeb face issue & coma-inducing speed is the worst part for me…if creating random fluffy animals is your thing then great,but for me it’s become useless.
