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

    “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 :)

      Ello allo!

      What an amazing response, thank you for taking the time to do so.

      We’re totally on the same method of thinking; I’ll use a kitchen scene as an example again (its also part of the story I’m writing) and within the kitchen is an old granny. What I’m hoping to achieve is a similar effect to classic animations but minus the animated character also. My plan: generate a kitchen image in a specific perspective and then use that image to further generate replica images just with different viewpoints/perspectives. Then generate the granny (say full body side profile) so shes “facing the cooker” in a kitchen backdrop. And simply overlay and position the two together. Doesn’t need to be anymore technical than that. No movements etc. Next scene, same backdrop for example but now generated a granny with her back to us (but exactly the same details from the previous scene i.e. granny looks like the earlier granny) and now overlay the two differently to incorporate granny at the sink. Next scene…close up of granny at sink. So backdrop has change focus and zoomed in, so has granny but all still same features.

      This is the first encounter I’ve had of perchance and even coding for such a thing but after discovering several plugins like ‘pose’ , ‘physical description AI image’ and ‘image layer combiner’ I had a good feeling what I’m looking to achieve would actually be possible. I kinda wanna go through the challenge of it a bit too as I’d like to get a deeper understanding so when I want to manipulate stuff later I have more control and greater scope of what can be achieved.

      Again, really appreciate the considered response. I was looking through some posts and could see that its a lovely community. :)

      many thanks, Sam

        my suggestion is: start having fun with perchance :)

        i made this with you in mind https://perchance.org/astartforyou to explain at least a little :)

        i love your learning attitude and that you yourself are growing :)

        I hope you find perchance an avenue in to coding :)

          Yeah, I also hope so 😊

          Also @Alllo, the starter generator is pretty neat, just need some code refinements so more people that are new to Perchance can understand it better 😄

            Thank you too. Its really lovely to see such welcoming people. For me, I’m super keen to explore the possibilities/capabilities of these incredible tools. Also I’m super aware that to do that requires a thorough understanding which I am most definitely without! I find it interesting when first starting something like this. Everything is so alien. Nothing fully makes sense. Slowly the picture starts to becomes clearer and you begin to see the possibilities growing. 👍

                Thank you 👍 As I say, Im going to see if I can setup a local and then start learning and developing what Ill specifically need for my project. I don’t need to get absorbed in all facets of SD just yet. and generally as things move along more comes in to light and I’ll swat up on the hoof. I like to know what Im doing or what things do rather than just blind copy and paste, so I’ll use the elements I use to teach me

                Great stuff, thank you! So I think I’m going to wrap my head around the elements Im looking to utilise and give myself priority learning topics (theres a lot of random generator stuff that I wont be using, lists etc). I built a 3D printer many moons ago and so had to dive in to visual studio and python so I have a very limited understanding of coding, certainly not html specific, but I get the premise. What I’m mindful of is not loosing sight of what Im also looking to achieve. I all to easily follow rabbit holes and lose track of the main objective 😂

            haha ‘code refinements’ = story of my life

            that literally was my best attempt at making a starter thing lol

            i tried to go over every line with care and make the html simple and exact.

            funny you immediately notice im a noob anyway, lol!

            you could always go over it and refine it as you see it to it’s next better state :)

              @Alllo Every time I woke up, I immediately saw your post or reply at some time, then if I wanted to reply with that, I’ll do that. Definitely will take a look at the code at some point and maybe transform it into my own entire generator 😄

                Thanks guys, this is greatly appreciated :) I’m going to sink my teeth in and try and get up to speed a bit (well, maybe a hurried walk, or a jog in fact. Not quite speed! lol)

          Ive just opened this one up…thank you. That Artist list of yours is a bloody handy addition! 👍

          Thank you for your support. Its really surreal how coding has entered back in to the journey…Its a story for another time. Really excited to see what wonders will be discovered along the way
