midjourney, and I suspect all image generators, can’t imagine scenes without a floor.

Ask it to draw -a solar system.

- A planet floating in space

- A floating city

It has to have an in-image observer, who stands on the ground.

It also fails with images that display extreme perspective.

- A mountain that pierces the sky.

- A space elevator.

Huh. We seem to be having very different experiences.

- A floating city[1]

- A planet floating in space[2]

- A space elevator[3]

Nice. It looks like there are still similar issues, but some things have improved.

I went through my results to check:

1) Floating city came out much better than my results a month ago.

- Prompt: Flying city - https://cdn.midjourney.com/85e254c4-d782-47a5-b63b-db8d20e54...

- Prompt: Flying city in space - https://cdn.midjourney.com/d8b9a582-6056-4fec-a0f2-e939c203a...

2) Planets was 50/50. the top 2 are prime examples of the floor issue.

- Prompt: A planet surrounded by the emptiness of space — https://cdn.midjourney.com/35246b1f-b344-4015-972b-512b770c3...

3)Space elevator, The first image is quite good

- prompt: Science fiction space elevator vanishing point in the sky - https://cdn.midjourney.com/0a92bbcf-329a-480d-a0eb-aec368eb7...

Vanishing points/ perspective dont seem to be grasped, leaving images constrained to certain view distances from observer as well as viewing angles. (I am not sure if those are the correct technical terms to describe the problem).

- How do solar systems work for you?

Prompt: solar system in space. https://cdn.midjourney.com/3873cdc1-fa9f-4a54-b5d5-c2336aa08...
