# Prompt Guide

## Improving Results

E621 Rising has been trained with tags extracted from [e621.net](https://e621.net).
A good starting point for a prompt is simply a list of  [tags](https://huggingface.co/datasets/hearmeneigh/e621-rising-v3-preliminary-data/blob/main/tag-counts.by-name.json),
separated by commas or spaces.

Some users have reported good results with hybrid prompts as well, where part of the prompt is a 'human readable' prompt, and the rest are
tags that are particularly fitting for the image you are intending to create.

* The model generate the best results at `1024x1024px` resolution
    * `512x512px` **will not work**
* Always use `anthro` keyword in your prompts
* Add `rising_masterpiece` and/or `rising_unpopular` in your prompts
* Try with Euler A, ~25-30 steps, CFG Scale 4-6
* Review the [prompt examples](https://huggingface.co/hearmeneigh/e621-rising-v3/blob/main/PROMPT-EXAMPLES.md)
* Most prompts that are compatible with `ye18/yiffy-18` model will work with minor adjustments. You will get better results if you...:
    * Use underscore (`_`) for E621 tags that contain a space, e.g. `looking_at_viewer`
* Negative prompts seem to be more important for generating quality images with Stable Diffusion 2.x and XL than Stable Diffusion 1.5
* Increase number of sampling steps to ~50-100
* Increase the number of tags in the prompt and the negative prompt
* Recommended tags:
    * `anthro`
    * `horse`, `wolf`, ...
    * `male`, `female`, `gynomorph`, ...
    * `rating_explicit`, `rating_questionable`, or `rating_safe`
    * `digital_media_artwork`, `digital_drawing_artwork`, or `digital_painting_artwork`
    * `rising_masterpiece` or `rising_unpopular`
