More detailed prompts = better results - Include artistic style references (e.g., "in the style of...") - Specify quality terms: "highly detailed", "8k resolution", "professional photography" - Mention lighting: "golden hour", "studio lighting", "dramatic shadows" ### For Default Mode (PIL-based): - Keep it simple and descriptive - Focus on basic shapes and compositions - Good for quick sketches and storyboards - Best for placeholders and concept drafts --- ## Command Examples ### Generate with AI (Recommended for final images) ```bash # Realistic vehicle python MCP/gimp-image-gen/gimp_image_gen.py \ --prompt "A luxury sports car in metallic blue, side view, detailed reflections, photorealistic, studio lighting" \ --output_file "output/sports_car.png" \ --use-ai # Landscape scene python MCP/gimp-image-gen/gimp_image_gen.py \ --prompt "A serene Japanese garden with cherry blossoms, koi pond, stone lantern, peaceful atmosphere, spring season" \ --output_file "output/japanese_garden.png" \ --use-ai ``` ### Generate Quick Sketch (Default mode) ```bash # Storyboard draft python MCP/gimp-image-gen/gimp_image_gen.py \ --prompt "A hero character standing on cliff overlooking city" \ --output_file "output/storyboard_01.png" ``` --- ## Integration with VS Code MCP When using this tool through VS Code's GPT-4o Agent, you can simply describe what you want: **User**: "Generate an image of a cozy reading nook with bookshelves and a window" **Agent**: Will automatically call the tool with appropriate prompt and parameters **User**: "Create a futuristic spaceship design in black and white" **Agent**: Will generate the image and save it to your output folder --- ## Troubleshooting ### If AI generation fails: - The tool will automatically fall back to PIL-based generation - Check your internet connection - Try simplifying the prompt - The free API may have rate limits ### For best quality: - Use `--use-ai` flag for important images - Be descriptive and specific in your prompts - Include style references and technical details - Experiment with different phrasings --- ## Need More Help? - Check the `README.md` for installation instructions -
