Does prompt order actually matter in Meshy? ran some tests
Spent an afternoon testing whether the order of words in a Meshy prompt changes the output. Short answer: yes, kind of.
Test setup: same 5 descriptors, rearranged in different orders, 3 generations each. Compared results.
What I found:
The first 2-3 words seem to have the most weight. If you lead with the object type you get a cleaner base shape. If you lead with a style word the style is more pronounced but the shape can get weird.
"fantasy sword, ornate blade, golden hilt, realistic" vs "realistic, ornate, golden, fantasy sword" - the first one gave me a better sword shape. The second one gave me something more stylized and abstract.
Material words work better near the end. "stone pillar, weathered, mossy, cracked" reads better than "weathered mossy cracked stone pillar". The second one sometimes generates a pile of rubble instead of a pillar.
Adjective stacking doesn't help. More than 3-4 descriptors and the model seems to average them out rather than combine them. Pick your most important ones.
This is all pretty informal testing, not scientific. But it's changed how I write prompts and my hit rate has improved.
Curious if others have noticed the same thing or if I'm reading too much into random variation.
