Building Prompts
Building prompts
  • Start by describing a scene: a noun + a verb + a location. Example: a cat walking down a street
  • Build on the scene by including additional details. Example: a wide‑angle eye‑level view of a tabby cat walking towards the viewer along a city street
  • Once satisfied with a generation result, consider swapping out words to create new concepts. Example: a close up of a tabby cat walking towards the camera along an empty city street
  • Use the negative prompt field to outline what you don’t want to see in your scene.
  • Positive and negative prompt fields are limited to 50 words in total.
  • Synonyms can help if you feel stuck while refining and improving your generation.
  • Place the most important subjects of your prompt near the beginning of the prompt. This will receive more importance and weight than the words at the end of the prompt.
  • Need some inspiration to get started? Click the Prompt Builder icon, it will guide you through the process of writing a strong prompt.
