I keep seeing bedding_backgrounds and curtains_backgrounds and wanted to know if there were thoughts on whether or not those count as simple_backgrounds since they're rather plain and don't do too much to place the scene of an image.

Problem is not all bedding or curtain backgrounds are simple backgrounds.

First example can be regarded as a simple background yes but the 2nd example that distinctly shows the characters sitting on a bed and has a defined space/location(it is clear that they are in a physical room) i wouldn't consider simple.

The BG in second picture is not an ambiguous curtain, the thing you are mistaking for fabric is a wood wall. The pattern is identical to the horizontal panel below it which is 100% certainly not a curtain. They are located in some sort of spa.

ah, so it is. funny, that's the one that got me to think "wow I've seen a lot of these curtain backgrounds" lol. 2 more for curtains:

ah those examples are even worse, they have a identifying place and props. Anything with a claerly visible floor or/and can be ether defined as an outside or an interior space are not going be simple backgrounds.

based on the how to tag backgrounds wiki, this forum discussion: forum #183080, and how the community seems to use the tags I can't really agree with that. those 2 pics were tagged simple_bg correctly as far as I can tell

also I feel like maybe the wikis for simple and detailed background should have a bit more mention of the amount of detail that goes into them based on how people seem to use the tags.

this post was tagged simple background(I agree), though you can tell the setting is in the shower

and this post was tagged detailed background(also agree), despite the fact that all you can really tell is that its a room with a bed. could be a house, a hotel, a mansion, a set's backdrop, etc. pretty generic
post #1737911

both pictures have about the same amount of present but limited setting information but they are tagged differently based on the difference of artistic detail in their backgrounds.

edit: thinking it through more

*Should* this be considered a detailed background?

there's enough setting info to say where they are. In the shower, I suppose that's setting enough. there are enough posts tagged that way to assume that
shower detailed_background

but most of the image is just blue. I like the use of the rule "if you can't place the scene it's not really detailed" to differentiate between simple and detailed backgrounds but should that linked pic really count as detailed? if not then how about the og pic?

post #640553

most of the added background detail is a group of lines in a checker pattern. it's still really close to a flat blue background(perhaps because the pic is still bordered by solid blue on all sides). is that sufficient enough to make it detailed? mmmmm -_- I probably don't think it should be.

the community tags that way already afaict. to be tagged detailed_background, a post could probably also use an additional benchmark of detail. that would make the og pic, as tagged, a simple_background pic. either that or this kind of background, mostly a simple background but with just enough detail to place the scene, could use a new semi-detailed_background tag
