Prompts

Exploring Prompts

Prompting is the basic command to ask an AI to create something for you: your write a short text describing what you would like, and the algorithm analyze and infer from the text you prompted.

Through your journey in AI, you will start by exploring various prompt, discovering what the algorithm answers to you requests.

But after a while, you will probably want to structure your prompts in a way that maximizes the probability that the algorithm creates a specific image or situation that you have in mind.

First, try some generic prompts in Nzym to discover what it can do. Here are some examples:

Prompt: "a dog piloting a spaceship"
Prompt: Prompt: "a beautiful beach at sunrise on a tropical island"
Prompt: "a woman walking in a street in Bangkok"

Creating Characters

If you want to create characters, whether they should be realistic, anime-style, or anything you like, you might want to use specific items in your prompt to guide the algorithm.

Here are 5 categories of items you can use in your prompt, and some examples of the results.

Faces & Angles

Instead of prompting "portrait of a woman" try to be more specific about your character. You can precise an origin / morphotype, the hair or eyes colors.

Prompt: "portrait of a scandinavian woman, red hair, blue eyes"

You can also play with angles:

Prompt: "photo of a scandinavian woman, red hair, aerial view"

Poses

Tired of beautiful yet always-the-same portrait generated? Why not add a touch of style to your subject by asking for specific poses?

Prompt: "photo of a scandinavian woman, red hair, high-fashion pose"

Environment

What about varying the surrounding of your character?

Prompt: "photo of a scandinavian woman, red hair, tech startup open space"
Prompt: "full body shot of a scandinavian woman, red hair, industrial loft"

Emotions

Now let's play with emotions:

Prompt: "photo of a happy scandinavian woman, red hair"
Prompt: "photo of a slightly surprised scandinavian woman, red hair"

Styles & Fashion

You can also change the fashion-style of your character:

Prompt! "full body shot of a scandinavian woman, red hair, Goth Style Outfit"

Or the style of the photo:

Prompt: "underwater photo of a scandinavian woman, red hair"
