Rinka's tips

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

I can't get snow or rain to actually fall.

Use progressive tags like snowing / raining to make it more likely you get the moment it's falling. Adding weight such as (snowing:1.2) also helps.

My cherry blossoms come out too strong or too pink.

cherry blossoms is a strong tag. Weaken it with (cherry blossoms:0.9), or add white flowers to soften the color.

The season and the outfit don't match.

Contradictions like a coat in midsummer come from tags fighting each other. Always make the season tags and outfit tags match in season, and delete any contradicting tags.
