There was a recent thread that has been deleted titled: [allogen] just the most genericest generator ever

This generator had a nice feature to apply artists to the t2i plugin… but it had a LOT of external stuff going on plus performance-killing full-size page background images… as well as a lot of extra code and styles that I don’t really need. I know @VioneT@lemmy.world commented on it.

Based on that gen, I figured it would be handy to have an artist plugin… so I made one called “artist-plugin” so I could import it into t21 generators. https://perchance.org/artist-plugin

Now I’m working on a demo generator using this plugin, and I’m 99.9% happy with it so far. I’m still doing minor tweaks to make it even cleaner. It’s VERY basic: https://perchance.org/aa3den2ecy

Everything is working perfectly EXCEPT: When the page first loads, the artist that displays is NOT being used for the initial images that are displayed (because it’s random from the plugin).

Clicking on the buttons (Artist name buttons or random Artist button) works as intended, and then everything is fine until the next page reload. If you click the “Update Images” button BEFORE choosing an artist, everything is random and the artist title is not related to the images.

How can I get the Artist correct (in the heading AND in the prompts) on the first page load? Init? Store a variable? I’m sure I’m missing something silly and simple.

Thanx for any help!

      Thanks! In the plugin, there has been one update to the artists already since I first checked @Alllo@lemmy.world 's original generator. I also fixed case and sort for the artist names in the plugin (and added a few artists), and will maintain that in the plugin to avoid having to include .titleCase in the generator code.

      ps: It seems like you could output the copy button just once - next to the title. I think it would be more useful to be able to copy AFTER seeing a sample of the artist’s work generated? I guess it would depend on how the generator is used.

        I’ve removed the copy button on each name and only have it on the top, next to the artist name.

        If you have any ideas for prompts to generalize the artists style, i.e. currently it is only showing results for portraits, what if we had a sample prompt for a landscape, etc. for easy test of the artist’s style…

        Pinging @Alllo@lemmy.world if you have any input on this.

          Hmm… that might be tricky because the vast majority of the artists in the list primarily draw/paint people. I changed the prompt to “seascape” and only a few don’t include people. I spose you could add (people) to the negative prompt and see what happens.

          A more ambitious project would be to have multiple subjects to choose from.

    i still have 349 artists to add.

    let the images start initially, and then load your custom variables, and then re update() the images. It will look like they start having loaded correctly.

    I have no reason to rush, though I would in exchange for your firstborn child, the tears of a mermaid, and three feathers from a hippogryph. On allogen, said artist list is actually so huge that it is unwieldy. And I am way deep in the android games I am making, so my focus is largely elsewhere except for occasional steps forward allogenwise. It may be that when I start tackling the structuring for my artist section to make it not unwieldy is when I come to the time to complete the list. I also occasionally socialize with unwitting nearby humans to lull them in to a false sense of security ~it’s during those times that I can casually do huge list things and would do the remaining 349 entries. Could be tomorrow. Could be 700 years from now. All just guesses. No idea. I see tho you two are using it, eyeing it’s takeability in to all perchance, and don’t want to manually do the 900+ entries yourselves. I appreciate the credit ty VioneT. Will say when there is something I should say. bai
