FREEBIE • Go Play with FLUX... for free!
Sign up for a Maze Guru account (also free) and give FLUX a try.
Maze Guru has integrated FLUX (an GenAI tool you have seen me mention before on the Substack and Linkedin.) Click the Maze Guru link, create your free account - and enjoy a ‘little’ FLUX free play time!
1. Visit Maze Guru website & create an account.
Once you go to the account and get set up with an account (I tied mine to my gmail) - you are taken to this page. From here - click on “Getting Started.”
2. Select the Flux character
For your FLUX run, click on Flux under ‘Select a character to start your conversation.’
3. Input your desired prompt.
In the same vein as Midjourney, Leonardo, Musavir, Dall-E and other text to image platforms - be as creative as you want with details such as style, background, or character traits. You will find that Flux is quite good at following prompt instructions.
Select your desired image size.
For the Midjourney familiar - the Negative Prompt is like your --no parameter. You need not worry about naming everything you could imagine not wanting - just the things that the AI might think to include, assuming a loose interpretation of your prompt. For instance - like my LAST post about a model wearing a white t-shirt, I made sure to add a --no text or image on the t-shirt.
Notice the EXTRA features that are at the base - Prompt Helper, Describe, Image to Image and Generate Image. Use your FREE credits wisely to explore how they can be an asset!
4. Give your prompting a try!
I saw something similar and decided to give this prompt a try:
A high-quality DSLR photo set featuring a bald man with a salt-and-pepper short beard, thick-rimmed aqua glasses around 50 years old, in a photo model sheet, wearing a button up Oxford shirt and oilcloth newsboy cap. The set consists of nine images arranged in a three-by-three grid. Each image captures the same man in different moods including: joy, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, disgust, confusion, contempt, and curiosity.
The character consistency across all 4 - is quite impressive.
In honor of my friend Margarida, let’s look at some micro-sized animals:
A high-quality macro-photo of a cute super tiny rhinoceros standing delicately on the end of a pointed human index finger, all four feet on the finger, walking towards the base. The human finger should be clearly visible, highlighting the rhino's unrealistically tiny size in comparison. The background should be softly blurred to focus attention on the Rhino and the finger.
A high-quality macro-photo of a living cute super tiny fully-grown mountain goat standing delicately on the end of a pointed human index finger, all four feet on the finger, walking towards the base. The human finger should be clearly visible, highlighting the goat's unrealistically tiny size in comparison. The background should be softly blurred to focus attention on the goat and the finger.
I noticed with the prior render, the rhino looked a little plasticine. So, I added a few details to the goat prompt - and got a much better result.
