ViVid Prompting Masterclass Part 1: What Are ViVid Models?

ViVid models are a unique branch of AI image generation, designed with a focus on characters and humans. Unlike Nova, ViVid models use tag-based prompting, which gives you clear control over details, styles, and outcomes.

If you want to create lifelike portraits, stylized anime characters, or explore artistic aesthetics, ViVid models are an excellent starting point.

Why ViVid Models Are Different

While other AI models rely on descriptive sentences, ViVid works with tags. Each tag acts like a keyword that directly influences your output. This approach makes it easy to experiment and adjust your results step by step.

There are three main ViVid model types you should know:

• Realistic ViVid – photography-style humans and portraits
• Hentai ViVid – a tag set focused on stylized anatomy and artistic details
• Animated ViVid – anime and cartoon-inspired designs

🔹 Realistic ViVid

Realistic ViVid specializes in creating humans that look like photographs. It is great for portraits, fashion, and natural scenes.

#### Short Prompt Example:

score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, 1girl, realistic, portrait, natural light

#### Extended Prompt Example:

score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, 1girl, realistic, portrait, close up, soft lighting, detailed skin texture, professional photography, 85mm lens, bokeh background
