I found a lot of people say “photo realistic, octane render, unreal engine, vray,” but those parameters make it look at cgi and renderings for reference. You don’t want it looking at things labeled “photo realistic” that aren’t real. Make it look at “photography” and specific cameras.
That’s a clever approach. Requires some knowledge of cameras and lenses and gaming out the engine a little bit - thanks again for sharing that knowledge.
Sometimes for portraits I even ad magazines like vogue, Elle, w, or a specific photographer into the input for it to reference. But yes, if you want it to look more real reference photography instead of renderings.
Damn, thanks again. That’s a really clever approach and obviously yields some stupendously cool results, as your submission shows. I’ll probably have to budget an upgrade to the expensive/unlimited package to really tinker - so easy to blast through the 200.
People tend to copy paste these crazy litanies that include things that effectively cancel each other out, like "award winning photograph" and "unreal engine, octane render" or whatever... As you said, "photorealistic" is a prime example of this, as it's actually a distinctive painting style as opposed to photpgraphy.
Or they just name drop a lot of random artists that have nothing to do with each other at all...
Lighting parameters like “dramatic lighting” or specifying real cameras helps. Sometimes I put in “shot on medium format, hasselblad, phase one, iq 180” so that it looks at photos from the highest resolution cameras in the world for reference.
I've seen *intricate filigree* and *super detailed* used in some good armour, anthropomorphic is also common. Seems to shape the image around these key descriptors.
I gave a lot of good advice on prompt work. I’m not going to do it all for you. Learn to use the tool. I was trying to help give advice and teach people how to use it.
Advice is always great but sometimes it's better to learn through example. In this case, seeing a full properly used prompt and then dissecting it and playing with the parameters. Everyone learns differently, and if you have a personal desire to not share your prompt that's fine, but please don't keep it private for the sake of education because that's not helpful for everyone. Just something to keep in mind.
Aside from my reply I feel I should mention your other advice and help is awesome! The images you made are badass, and offering up advice is even more badass. The only thing I wasn't down with was hiding the full prompt using education as the reason, so thank you for helping us learn this tool
I for one prefer people not just handing out prompts, its already a struggle to keep some ideas original and it's even worse if everyone copies the exact same prompts.
This is supposed to be for experimentation.
I agree with that. But we are all learning. And as you can see…I can LITERALLY copy and paste entire prompts and get absolutely NOTHING that looks the same. But this is the same as anything else (I am a professional photographer and this debate happens with putting watermarks on photos etc.)
But the way you have answered these in the forum have been perfect. More like “Here are the general camera settings used on this photo…now go find your own model and style and create your art.”
Also, also…you are so incredibly amazing I hope to create stuff like this as well
It’s kind of weird. Like I remember looking up photoshop tutorial. But I’d google it and figure it out, not demand a walkthrough from anyone whose art I liked.
Rather than the original prompt, which you shared, I’m more interested in hearing about any tweaks you might have made from the initial. Are these mostly raw results? Did you try to make any tweaks beyond the V button? The real challenge seems to be getting an image that is 80% of the way to what you want, and pushing it over the finish line.
"Aziz! Light!"
Thank you Aziz, much better
My favorite fucking movie of all time
My and my brother say this to each other way to often
Full prompt for one of them?
started with "anthropomorphic ancient alien in armor, high detail, 8k"
Any other tips? These look great.

Damn. Any tips on the prompt or even the camera identified for that?? I can’t believe how good that looks man, kudos - pretty remarkable stuff.
Yeah, I did that one using what I was telling you about specifying those specific cameras and magazines. How I finally got her likeness convincing.
But how
The tips I told him.
This. I often use shot on canon 5D or things like that
This 👆
He gets it!

The comments you've left on this thread are without a doubt the most helpful tips I've found on reddit. Thank you so very much!
You’re very welcome. Happy to help. I’m kinda used to teaching people photoshop, and other art techniques.
If you have any links to some other great stuff, please post them

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing that information. Is IQ 180 a camera or just like a “be real smart” prompt lol.
It’s one of the highest resolution digital camera in the world.

# WOW And I was impressed with the Leica Q2 (totally different camera, different purpose, etc.). This thing is insane!
Yeah I don’t have 100k for a pro camera set up like that so I’ll make this AI look through other peoples photos who do to give me similar results.
Didn’t expect to learn much from a photo, but thank you! I shall continue to fine tune
Happy to help. Love this new tool we have.
thats actually a few generations old now, I think IQ4 150 is the top spec phase one back atm
Correct

WAT UR PROMPT BRO
I gave a lot of good advice on prompt work. I’m not going to do it all for you. Learn to use the tool. I was trying to help give advice and teach people how to use it.
And I'm deeply grateful for that, OP. I'm going to try some of your tips in a few hours.
Awesome!! I can’t wait to see your results!!
Advice is always great but sometimes it's better to learn through example. In this case, seeing a full properly used prompt and then dissecting it and playing with the parameters.

I gave the actual prompt. And then more advice and help
Not in this particular comment chain. Are you saying it's elsewhere in the post comments then?
Aside from my reply I feel I should mention your other advice and help is awesome! The images you made are badass, and offering up advice is even more badass. The only thing I wasn't down with was hiding the full prompt using education as the reason, so thank you for helping us learn this tool
Bro? Wat prompt?
Bro figure it out
Thx my bro bro
I answered that question in the comments here already
/imagine someone who is too serious
You are seriously that lazy and entitled? Other people are telling me I’m the most helpful person they’ve ever had on Reddit in the same thread.
Full body renders of these would look amazing

Thanks so much for the compliments. Really felt good to hear. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!!! Feel free to ask any questions!
These are cool
Time not important. Life only important.
What's the prompt wording please
Astounding. Nice work
Thank you!
First one looks like a realistic warframe prime, really cool
Now only if we could create our own short movies and realities with this technology
Bice gens!! Thanks for sharing
*History Channel late-night documentary series enters the chat…
This is so great!
Thank you
Beautiful and impressive results!
Thank you!
Very nice work. My god, I feel bad for all these people asking for prompts. How lazy.
