      Just checked. I don’t have a record of the name but it did involve a photo with your partner. No photos were submitted.

        No one should ever have to apologise for their body.

          Wasn’t it naked with your partner?

          It caused a right kerfuffle. It didn’t matter what assurances I made about consent, a few people were convinced consent wasn’t possible.

            Don’t forget to take some photos or record some video!

              Who’s going to this year’s WNBR?

                Cool. Lots of ideas. Now I need to generate a lot more videos.

                I’ll see if I can focus on stuff that would not be possible for us to achieve in reality.

                    That would be awesome. It could be good to compare WNBRs from different cities.

                      We should probably have a WNBR gallery or two.

                        I know some people disagree with the use of systems like this but videos that simply would not be possible otherwise, simply won’t exist without this.

                          Those of you familiar with my second generated video might appreciate this, to give a taster of what may be possible very soon:

                              The last one didn’t work properly. The gameshow host sounds a little rough (but acceptible) but one of the women is supposed to be saying “This is so embarrassing” and another should have said “I can’t believe it!” but we got an unintelligible babble.

                                Sorry I didn’t have time to post preview images for these, but in this case I think that works better.

                                  I know the dress motion is rubbish but I ran out of credits before I could try a few potential corrections.

                                    I should point out that Qwen firmly blocks attempts at nudity or mature topics. Some amount of underwear slips through but you have to be very careful how you phrase things. Also, only about 1 in 3 videos is coherent and makes sense.

                                          I’ve been meaning to watch the Cardiff WNBR for the past few years but every time it’s landed on a really bad weekend for me. On one occasion I had flu that weekend and could barely stand up let alone travel into the city. Fingers crossed I can see the 2026 one. It would be great to have a section on the site discussing the WNBR with some photos to illustrate it.

                                            Does the copy I posted in this forum work for everyone? I shouldn’t leave it up as it needs to be in the age-restricted area.

                                              Lots as far as I know. I’ve posted loads and got positive feedback for most of those.

                                                Any difference with the one on the link? It’s the same script running both.

                                                    I can’t find the article, but I’ve read the Cardiff event has a screened off area at the start for people to undress, with signs up saying please don’t use cameras in this area.

                                                    I would have thought it would encourage more people to take part. If you want to be recorded undressing, just do it outside the screened area.

                                                      I’ve heard people say that photography isn’t allowed in the “undressing area” at most of the events.

It’s only a tiny interaction (compared to a reply or initial post) but I figure it will help encourage more posting and anything which increases the rate of interaction in the forums here is good.

I’m sure there must be many examples of this from many of our members. I think we can all use it as a sort of learning experience about being more confident to grab some opportunities.

Please don’t expect a sudden return to normality from me. My stamina is terrible but improving, my vision is affected but that should return to normal in the next week or so (a side effect of the anaesthetics etc.) and my concentration is sorely messed up.

                                                                        When I’m a little more with it, I’ll see if I can find the e-mail addresses of some of the more active old members and get in touch with them.

                                                                          All was not well for me but I’ll be home from hospital soon. All is well now but I’ve got months of recovery to do. Apologies for not wanting to share details on a public forum. I survived and will be better than before once I recover.

With the loss of two of the AI tools I was using and a significant quality drop in another one, the results just aren’t good enough. I’ll keep looking for replacements but ultimately I need to save up and buy a LOT of credits on Pollo and give it another go there instead (or find a way to get hundreds of people to sign up for a free account there instead).

My internet has been poor (at best) and I’m still without my main laptop (it’s dead). It’s going to take another couple of days to restore access to my e-mail, so I’m feeling a little disconnected and restricted. There are a few sites I can’t get into (like Patreon), but that should sort itself out as soon as I get into my e-mail.

                                                                                          Really the main issue is the rate of wastage. I’m still “wasting” around half of my credits on producing video clips which don’t come out usable. It’s the nature of the beast but it’s very annoying.

It seems the longer the video the more they slip – which is really annoying.

There may be some AIs out there that will do it, but my experiments so far have shown them to be MUCH more reliable with female nudity. Men tend to get depicted with female genitals or no genitals at all. The only reliable way around that seems to be starting out with a nude photo as your starting point, but that restricts story possibilities. Also, if you start with nudity, many of the AI photo editors won’t work with it.

                                                                                                The ban on adult material may be loosening:

                                                                                                Of course, that could just be a way of tapping into the adult market (you can produce your own bespoke adult content, we just need to charge your credit card $10 to prove you are over 18). Am I being overly suspicious?

                                                                                                        I don’t see why not. Most of it’s just a case of forward planning. Each system has its strengths and weaknesses. Pollo doesn’t reject nudity. GetImg is very good at people and scenery and passable at photoediting. I find Qwen is pretty good at combining stuff from different photos into one scene. The main problem I experience is picture resolution. Qwen’s output doesn’t go high enough. Pollo goes to FullHD (Although it will upscale to 4K) but it’s expensive on credits to do that. I’ve done all my experimenting at minimal resolutions and I’m constantly running out of credits anyway.

                                                                                                        I reckon I waste about 50-60% of my credits producing nonsense output, which I end up deleting. My success rate used to be MUCH lower but I think it’s plateaued now. The AI will usually come up with some unexpected way to ruin the output half the time. You really must try to specify every detail. Otherwise someone will be removing a bra to reveal another bra underneath, or someone will turn their body all the way around but leave their head facing forwards. In the example above, the first go saw her remove her towel to reveal pubic hair going all the way up to her chest.

                                                                                                        For those of you who prefer nudes to be shaved, that’s borderline impossible with the AIs I’ve tried so far. I suspect that may be a protection for other reasons. Trying to achieve it chews through a colossal amount of credits and I don’t want to get flagged for something dodgy.

I created the group in chairs (they were supposed to be sitting on the floor BTW) on Qwen, then created to performed on GetImg and combined the two with Qwen Image Edit. By using the group without the woman in the towel as the start frame and the group with her inserted as the end frame, I was able to get the AI to walk her across from out of view. Then I saved the final frame of the view (and messed up slightly – thus the glitch) and had the AI remove her towel. It’s a quick and cheerful lowres go, but it gives you an idea of what’s possible. I’m assuming you haven’t seen the video I posted in the age-restricted forum?

I’m not sure if Android has the same option (I don’t use Android for web browsing).

You don’t get the “edit” link in the text menu? A few weeks back there was a huge discussion about that and we managed to get it fixed. It still works as far as I know. My test user can definitely edit his own messages.

There are techniques to get around that, which I’m slowly learning, but it definitely requires creative planning to get the best out of it.

                                                                                                                                                      Do you think it’s worth doing some sort of non-nude video so I can show it in the public area of the community? I know non-nude kind of avoids the topic of this community, but this age-verification thing is stifling discussion.

None of them seem to do reliable male nudity unless you start out with a naked photo as a video source. Qwen is pretty good at changing the text on signs and posters.


                                                                                                                                                          You can see in this photo that too many tweaks and changes and you clearly lose image quality. Looks like 5-6 is fine, but much beyond that can cause problems. If you want to make the effort you can use a photo editor to neatly clone just the changes into the original photo, thus prserving the original quality.

                                                                                                                                                          It’s still very much the case that the more effort and planning, the better the results.

Setting up scenes in GetImg or Qwen saves my HuggingFace credits. I find it works best to use the strengths of each.

For my purposes, that renders it unusable. Huggingface gives credits daily now. Unless you pay, the free credits are only enough for 2-3 5 second clips per day.

                                                                                                                                                                    I’ve never heard of Meta AI. I’ll give that a go. I know I tried SeaArt but it’s on the list of ones I gave up on (can’t remember why).

                                                                                                                                                                    What I’d really like is one of the very high price accounts on Pollo.ai but I can’t afford that for now.

                                                                                                                                                                    Qwen would be incredible if it allowed nudity. It’s the most consistent by far and allows fantastic editing of pictures to correct anything which isn’t what you want without changing the rest of the photo and without having to draw mats.

My laptop has an 8-core Ryzen 7 with 4.4GHz clock speed. It works out about 20% faster than my desktop PC according to the benchmark scores, and it’s got 32Gb instead of my desktop’s 16Gb.

                                                                                                                                                                          I should invest in a new NVidia card for my desktop, that would blow both of them out of the water.

I use GetImg to create characters, Qwen to create and edit scenes and HuggingFace to create the videos from them. When I have a lot more credits on Pollo, I’ll use that to produce the videos as it does much higher resolution videos.

The “CPU-mode” is almost hidden but definitely there. My NVidia card is probably too old to support CUDA so, as my laptop is more powerful, I’ll install it there.

Try not to suggest ideas that would not have cropped up otherwise. The other thing is repetition. I find stating the same thing 2-3 times in different words tends to lock it in.

I put together the clips I have done so far to make a 7 minute video with imperceptible image degradation. There are some minor glitches if you’re looking closely but I have to say for a first proper try, the results have stunned me.

                                                                                                                                                                                        Sound is the main problem now.

There are all sorts of possibilities here. I might post this video on a age-verified only page tomorrow. Anyone interested?

When moving up, it’s voluntary, but moving down I don’t get any choice – everyone changes.

It’s only one table (the main work) AND by putting the uncensored photos on a single gallery page (instead of a page per photo), it’s just one link and only one restricted page instead of multiple.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        It’s still a big work load to create, but I’m not going to get away from that. I’m really keen to get this right from the outset. I don’t want to have to build the whole arrangement more than once.

I can make the table public but have an extra column with a link to an age-verified gallery for each participant. There could also be the possibility of having a second link to a censored (rude bits obscured) gallery. This means participants could choose to only be in one or the other if they wish?

                                                                                                                                                                                                            Now Patreon inform me that if I reduce the price, ALL existing members will go to the new price, but if I increase it, only new signups will be affected.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            As a further complication, I can’t remember what the price was before I increased it. Can anyone remind me? (The UK price, not the converted currency prices or the mad Apple price.
