Description: I’ve been attempting to use DALL-E to generate semi-circular (180-degree) shapes, such as a pier or arc, extending into a body of water. Despite using detailed prompts and various phrasing approaches (e.g., “arc,” “semi-circle,” “rainbow shape”), the tool consistently generates full circles or fails to orient the shape correctly.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Use prompts like:
“A simple wooden pier shaped like a half-circle, forming an open arc (180 degrees), extending into the ocean and connecting to the shore at two points.”
“A flat, horizontal arc (semi-circle) lying parallel to the water.”
- Generate the image multiple times.
Expected Outcome: A clear depiction of an open arc or semi-circular structure that does not form a full circle, lying flat above the water.
Actual Outcome: The AI repeatedly generates closed, full circles or misinterprets the orientation (e.g., vertical instead of horizontal).
Impact: This limitation in rendering basic geometric shapes affects the usability of the tool for creating simple, accurate designs. It’s surprising that a partial circle cannot be generated despite explicit instructions.
Request: I’d appreciate it if this issue could be reviewed and addressed in future updates. Please let me know if further details are needed.
