About the braid tag

How these samples were made

FAQ
Does NovelAI recognize braid?
Compare the samples on this page. Every tag on this site shares the same seed and base prompt, so any change you see comes from braid.
How do I write braid in a prompt?
Write "braid" near the front of the prompt and separate it from other tags with commas.
Should I use V5 or V4.5?
V4.5 shows the tag's effect more strongly. V5 gives steadier images with fewer artifacts.
