This is great! Thank you so much for showing us this character GPT.

[@billwebb8561]

Thank you, John. Character consistency is one feature I have been trying to achieve in my stories and your video will really help. I am retired and create personalized flip books for my grandkids. Thanks again and good luck in your endeavors.

Brilliant and thanks. Yeah I need to try out the different art styles on the GPT now. But it's a solid approach and hopefully we'll see similar things rolling out elsewhere.

it doesn't generate consistent image. Don't waste your time.

The GPT does an impressive job though? (But.. I've not had chance to try out the other art styles, i.e. photography is that less consistent? 🤔)

[@TheBlessingReport]

Great tool

[@Gabriecielo]

Thanks for tutorial! I tried your way, on Dall-E part, amazing, everything is fine and smooth. But in MidJourney part, it really seems less controllable. First, it stuck on "Thinking" after I set a character with around 10-12 images. Second, when I used this character to create an scene, to be honest, it's really in lack of consistency and hard to be recognized as same person. Third, it's also difficult to lock the art style in MidJourney when making a series of image all prompted with "Pixar Styled 3d animation", it resulted with various understanding over the style. Still not a stable way to support a short video. I do feel for AIGC, next focus should be CONTROL, to support creating meaningful longer experience.

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Yeah, I included that part in the video to show the approach but it definitely needs refinement and is no where near as consistent as the GPT part of the video. You can play around with image weighting though, plus add extra scene references and go round in the endless loop of generations and refinements to try and get the scene your after. The '/pre option set' approach just adds a bit of time saving really to 'try' and get better consistency in MidJourney. The GPT using Dall-E is certaining impressive though.

[@Exaltaweb]

yous should use scenario ai to train a model based on the images you created and then it will give you consistent characters, we'll see if it's better or not thsn midjourney's image training

[@Million_Wang_Artist]

Thank you for your vedio.

[@stroelli]

Next....LEVEL!!!!!

[@seanknowles7987]

does it work with wonly anime images or images that are more life like (such as photos and the more human like images dalle3/bing can create)? It seems bing recognizes certain images (photos or images close to photos) as real and therefore struggles to use those images to make any changes or consistency with those types. Would love to hear from you on this

[@nic-ori]

Thanks! Useful information.👍👍👍

[@buskavideo7149]

Really useful. Out of interest - why do you move over to Midjourney if the characters are less consistent than with Dall-E in ChatGPT? I’m finding Dall-E tends to create better 3D or illustrated characters than Midjourney anyway but maybe I’m missing something?

[@j0shj0shj0sh]

Yes, the Midjourney part seemed a bit of a dud in this workflow. But super impressed with the Dalle/Chatgpt combo. That is insane. Need to see many other styles supported. I've seen way too much Pixar stuff already.

[@noodle123ify]

@@j0shj0shj0sh yeah, I don't love when there's essentially a pulldown menu of options for 'looks'. better when the range is wide open. otherwise, Dall-e consistency was impressive

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Yeah, I wasn't sure about including the Midjourney part. But thought teaching people about the 'prefer option set' would be useful for some. I'd recorded a bit saying how the results aren't great here yet, but you can play with image weights and prompt weights. To get better results. But it didn't make the edit and I had to rush the export and go do some non AI life stuff 😂🤷🏼‍♂️... So didn't have time to try and show some more midjounrey variations. (+It'll be cool once they add the zoom out and in-painting (vary region) functions to the v6 Alpha... (but there are ways around that via Photoshop or Midjourney V5). Glad the GPT part is popular though 👍

I hope soon it will be possible to pose multiple consistent characters together, add a consistent background, and have more control over the scene we create.

[@bikenfour7661]

Does adding more images of Bob in the prompt give you more character consistency?

[@druhawks]

Thanks for your video! Consistently find that making characters with the /POS works for training the MJ, but the --ar 16:9 will, almost without fail, crop the image right above the forehead. Changing the --ar to a more portrait ratio can help, but then you're stuck trying to accommodate multi-aspect ratio images into a timeline. Even adding descriptions of "objects" above the "headline" is hit or miss. Does anyone run into this?

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Yeah, have much the same output results. Potentially using more zoomed out images (adding extra blank space around the images) uploaded to midjourney 'might help'. Otherwise if you have Photoshop the expand canvas function works really very well and does a decent job and maintaining the art style in most instances. Based on the Midjourney office hours, Give it 3-5 weeks and hopefully we should see zoom out/pan and vary region abilities rolled out to V6. (Which work in V5).

[@visuskyprestationsdroneset1502]

Hi, thk for this tutorial. I have a question please. I already have a character picture and i would like to change his position with AI method to give him many differents position . what do you advise? Thanks a lot

[@user-lu7np4cg1t]

great vid. I think it would have helped to add --iw 2 at the end of your prefer set prompt so that it would try to follow the images more closely, even though we all know it's still not great. 😢

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Yeah that or '::4' at the end of the image prompts helps a bit. Looking forward to the future character consistency hinted at in the latest Midjourney office hours.

[@LJHines1991]

I have given up on trying to do consistent characters mine are never consistent and I had a great idea for a kids book

Looks like you have to have the paid GPT4 for this? Ive tried Bing Image Creator and its good, but i cannot make characters to use over and over, it changes their faces after each prompt. Trying to also do this without PC and on android only. Any ideas how i can make a keep using my own characters thst way, preferably without a subscription?

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Hmm. Not sure. It worked for GPT 3.5 but that was after I'd started using the character got via GPT4.

[@sachindatt4045]

This is bang on.

[@ViratxDoodle]

But why not keep using Dall-E for image generations

[@AIAnimationStudio]

You could and maybe should. But there's a lot of things MidJourney can do really very well, (albeit not consistent characters very well.. yet). But 100% you could stay in Dalle-3.

[@Comic_Book_Creator]

so can you do more images with the same caracter in that chat?

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Yes, just keeps going. Runs with GPT 3.5. Ran out of time but keen to explore the other art styles and see how much the background can/can't be changed as well. But being able to then take the characters into Photoshop and future work is cooll.

[@satoriwabisabi]

yesssssssssssssss!

[@caillougames1231]

Interestingly, the Consistent character only worked once. Now it only takes the first image and then it always gives an error.

[@schnudiesounds]

i am wondering, how git this that consistent. I tried it for several times, even with your prompts and i can't achieve consistancy at all, could you repeat that strategy?

[@blairzettl3933]

Crazy. Now if would only export as FBX rigged, skinned, and with textures!

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Yeah, that will be cool. You could take the image of a t-pose and make it a 3D model (with ok-ish quality) via something like CSM using AI. Then rig it via Mixamo pretty quickly... (if you're lucky) and animate it using Mootion's AI generated file. (Or do any all those steps manually for better quality and control).

[@blairzettl3933]

@@AIAnimationStudioI tried this out and I did not get the consistency that you achieved, however I was blown away by the quality.

[@AIAnimationStudio]

@@blairzettl3933 . Hey, that's interesting I might have to revisit it. Out of interest did you go with the Pixar style character or one of the other options. I trie the photoreal option and it was less consistent, whilst still hitting all the requested key attributes there was definitely more variety in the output.

Can you tell me if you know of an app or program that allows you to make it appear that your dog is talking in a video? Not from a photograph but actually from a video? Any help you can provide will help. Thank you. Phillip

[@AIAnimationStudio]

I've not seen any 'easy' software that would achieve this yet. Unless your dog character is particulalry stylised (near human character) then it might work with something like Lalamu lalamu.studio/demo/ Studio or SyncLabs. synclabs.so . Otherwise I think it will involve a more traditional digitial animation style workflow.

[@snowdragon1732]

[@MsBabbityRabbity]

why can't i find that particular GPT? i can find others tho but not the one mentioned in the video by Sachin Kamath

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Not sure. It comes up as the first result for me when searching 'Character'.

[@isleofai]

Due to the popularity of custom GPTs you need to be more specific in your search query. Using “consistent character gpt” should get you different results and the GPT used in this video is now over 200k downloads There wasn’t a prefilled starter question anymore, and it didn’t ask scenery details. The GPT description says to just start by clicking “CLICK HERE” but it’s not showing up for me. I asked it, “click where?” and it started walking me through the questions. Was asked … male/female - characters name - then details and then it generated. I was expecting more questions On my second pose I asked it for eyes closed and the result had shorter hair and the facial complexion was way different.

Are there any 3d obj to img GPTs?

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Not sure. Like a simple renderer of a 3D file you have?

[@jichaelmorgan3796]

@AIAnimationStudio Assuming I don't know the first thing about 3d rendering but I can manage to download a 3d obj or use an app to make one with a physical object scanner, I'd like to be able to feed it to a "3d obj to img" ai tool, and give a simple prompt of the scene I would like to see it in. I also thought something like that might help for consistent characters down the road, but it looks like pretty good solutions are developing. Could still be useful, idk?

[@lifent]

Could we animate this characters ?

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Yeah, via some other tools and techniques. Got some things in the works for that for a future video.

[@AIAnimationStudio]

I think (may be wrong) that you can use a free account for Chat GPT? (Mid Journey is paid)

[@NewXViews]

This GPT is not creating character consistently and I tried very much. Instead one can use DALL-E itself directly.

[@ko-prometheus]

But this is just a photo of the character. How do I make a 3D model completely with a bone skeleton?

[@AIAnimationStudio]

There's a few somethings coming out. Take a look at CSM or Meshigy for some 'basic' image to 3D models, Mixamo can help with quick character rigging of a character rig. Or 'Mootion' with two o's, can animate a character (currently from an exciting selection of character) and lets you download the 3D fbx character rig.

[@BlitzDjingga]

So you subscriptions for both chatggpt and midjourney ?

[@AIAnimationStudio]

I do both for things I do for this channel, plus client work. I'm not sure but dalle-3 and chat gpt 3.5 might still be free.

@@AIAnimationStudio not sure about dall-e. It just feel adding up and worse is like paying double.. chatgpt, co-pilot, dall-e.. and then the othersss…

[@AIAnimationStudio]

​@@BlitzDjingga . Oh 100% agree. If it wasn't for this channel and wanting to try out all the tools, to see what can be done, I'd probably just focus on 1 or 2. On the plus side, most if not all offer limited free trial, then you can pay a monthly subscription and cancel. You could then pay for Runway, Pika, Leonardo... and try and figure out the best for each. Or use Stable diffusion and Comfy UI for things and run it locally... which whilst free, comes with a different learning curve and investment in some semi-decent computer system. (I do like ComfyUI a lot though).
