Producing Diverse Characters on Scenario: Insights and Techniques

We'll show you how to effortlessly create a multitude of fantastic characters! Let's unveil the straightforward process behind this mass creation technique.

Advance preparation

Create a template to quickly get a description of your characters using ChatGPT, such as the one shown in the picture below:

Step 1

On the Scenario web-app, experiment with choosing the style in which your characters will be generated. For this example, we'll choose the model: “Stylized Fantasy + Storybook + 3D”

1. Paste the character descriptions obtained in ChatGPT into the Prompt field. Add the prompt: front view and right view and back view, 3d cartoon with oil painting shader

2. Insert a reference image

3. Select Image to image, Influence 0

4. Press “Generate” button

Step 2

Use the obtained generation as a reference in img2img

In this way we quickly got 10 character reference sheets.

Optional Step

As an option you can visualize the proportions of the characters. Based on the proportions of the head and body, make a height chart to make it clear how the characters will look relative to each other.

Step 3

Create a set of reference images from the obtained resources to train the model (using an image editor or Scenario Canvas). You'll want to separate the individual body shots into their own images as well as a profile shot of each angle.

Step 4

Now let's go make character models. Press the blue "+" button to create a new model (generator). And press the "Start Training" button.

To train the model, add images of your character.

1. Under each image, write a caption to make it easier for the model to understand what is shown in the image. Here is where you want to add a unique name (Trigger Token) for your character and his clothes and their color so you can accurately recall these elements when prompting on the completed model.

2. Press the button: "Start Training"

After training, you can immediately use the resulting model For more control over your outputs; remember to use Prompts with the character's name (Trigger Token) and their clothes and color as you described them in your captions.
