[BTS] More people = less muscle?

Hi Hi ✨

I been experimenting using OpenPose to add characters into images. I found that it's easier to do it this way, instead of in the prompt. So you can do it like this: (2girls), (2 women) or ((2 women)), (2 girls:1.4) but even with the weights, results can be very hit and miss. But if you use an image with 2 people, most of the times you can get great results.

But this method has it's drawbacks. Something I noticed when using openPose, is that women end up looking way less muscular than without using a reference image. See these examples, same prompt, same weights, same seed:

And when you start to add more and more people, you get less and less muscles, and way more imperfections, specially with arms and legs:

This was just a quick post, that I wanted to share with you. Maybe you can take it into consideration for your next coms, I can absolutely do poses from reference images, and multiple characters, but they will be a lil less muscles, and no one likes that 🫤 I will continue to work in finding a solution for this.

Someone who does great weighting for character size difference is ArtificialChemist, he's one of the best muscle ai artist creators out here, check his stuff if you can!
