[@bhavenjain07]

You don't even know how important a video you have made for me.👍 Thank you so much. Great content, ✨great explain. It's worth my time.❤️

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thanks so much for the feedback, I appreciate it! I'm glad it was helpful :)

[@thewebstylist]

Awesome tips and tricks!! I haven’t created much Anime before but now fired up to now asap brah!

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thanks man! It's a popular image type in ai, a lot of fun of you've ever been a fan of any anime.

[@manishrajiwade5991]

Thanks man...I was waiting for a video on Anime style .....much appreciated ✌

[@WadeMcMaster]

I'm glad I could deliver! Haha, thank you :)

Hey, everyone! I've been delving into KZbin, focusing on storytelling and creative video-making. Recently stumbled upon VideoGPT, and it's been a total game-changer. My videos now have this professional quality that has really boosted my confidence.

[@enfield9]

Thanks so much! I was looking for an AI that would give the most natural outcome; I stumbled upon your video and decided to try it and it's actually really good for anime style. The discord as the main interface is genius being a gamer. Thanks for saving me time and money.

[@WadeMcMaster]

No problem! I'm so glad you got something out of it. Thank you!

[@Money-g4g]

Thank you sooo much Wade McMaster, your video help me a lot (even more than a lot) ! Now I am able to have more control on the style that I wanna give to images. Thank you man, you are a goat🔥

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you so much mate! I'm happy I could help :)

[@Himball]

My friend I made a comment last about making a novel and wanting to create consistent characters and you linked one of your previous videos , I’ve watched the video you linked and your videos are amazing. However I’m trying to create the first scene of my novel, I made the character first then insert him as a character when prompting the first scene I’m trying to make. But it’s not going well. The character I made whenever I try to put him in the first scene he is only doing the same pose as when I made him, or same face, i know it’s new and all but I’ve been trying for like 20 hours. However I thank you for your time & help

[@WadeMcMaster]

First of thank you for the super thanks! Have you tried using vary region by any chance? You can type in /settings in discord and turn on remix mode. Then hit vary region on an upscaled image. You could select your character and delete the prompt (keeping character reference) and write a pose as the prompt. Also try adding character weight ( so add --cw and bring the number down, 100 being the highest). Also in vary region you can select the face and try a different emotion (?). I use vary region a lot for small details, hopefully that fixes the issue you're having :)

[@Himball]

@@WadeMcMaster I’ve caught onto all these tips from your other video, I’m using the iPad version. The niji journey it’s still the same thing so I’m going to make dinner and attack thank you!!!!!! I’ll update u on how things are going thanks again

[@WadeMcMaster]

Definitely do mate! I hope it all goes smoothly :)

[@reifuTD]

Nice, I've have done much experimenting with Midjourney, I've mostly messed with Dalle 3, I tent to used 'Screenshot' instead of 'Screencap,' I should experiment witch one is better, I also like to use the phrase 'anime cartoon show', That tends to help get that anime Screenshot/Screencap look. My favorite anime to use as a refence is Pretty Cure

[@WadeMcMaster]

Oh nice, thanks for sharing that info! I will have a play and see, I also havent tried DallE 3 for Anime so sounds like it could be fun :)

[@totempow]

This was cool and useful. Especially since I just started using the Niji App on my phone and iPad instead of Discord. It’s nice to be able to switch between them all, but anyway, yeah, been experimenting with anime a bit and this couldn’t have come at a better time!

[@WadeMcMaster]

Nice, I'm glad you got something out of it :) Niji is a tonne of fun of Its own sometimes!

[@Darksagan]

Dope video. Saving this as a reference.

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you!

[@mikeevangel]

Dude thank you soooo muchh!!! I can't wait to start playing around with this and create something cool! Earned my Like and Sub! God bless!!! 🙏

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you so much mate!

[@JeepHolden]

Good as always Wade! Did you notice anything strange about Niji 6 a short time after it came out? It seemed to favor a rather expressive female nature for a little bit. Just wondering if anyone else were experiencing the same thing?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I did notice that, so much female imagery. I think it's been trained heavily with a lot of pictures of women

[@aizensings]

is there a more current version of this video using mid journeys website parameters and visuals

[@WadeMcMaster]

This video is up to date. However, you just need to switch to niji 6 in the prompt settings (or just type --niji at the end of your prompt). Otherwise, this is all made on the current, latest niji model and is designed around the prompt itself to be timeless. I could add more styles but function wise there's nothing to update really

[@oddstudio]

@@WadeMcMaster CAN YOU GET THE SAME IMAGE AND SAME BACKGROUND, BUT A DIFFFERENT FRAME?

[@albertoflores6399]

Thank you so much !!!!

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thanks man! Glad you like it :)

[@Larimuss]

Any good way to get consistent character style? On civitai I can’t see the same anime style. You can get Pixar but not anime it’s odd

[@WadeMcMaster]

I'm not up with CivitAI unfortunately. If they have the tool for character consistency that would be the go, otherwise it can be difficult butyou'd need to anil the character in your prompt to get similar.

[@irfanaf985]

hi, thanks for the tutorial. how do I bring up this pop up 6:02 , when I press that button, it immediately generates another image without showing a pop up to edit the prompt

[@WadeMcMaster]

Type in /settings and turn on Remix . I never turn it off now, super useful!

[@SladeF-ll5rk]

Awesome video helped out a lot. But im still a little confused. I want to take screen shots from a video game, or movie, and turn it into an old school 80s-90s anime style with it still being close to the source image. Kinda like all those "elden ring as a 90s anime" videos popping up.

[@WadeMcMaster]

I would use Leonardo AI and Image guidance for that as Midjourney doesn't tend to generate too close to images supplied. Their control net features in Image guidance are awesome for that kind of thing

[@senyacinema]

I'm looking to create pictures from characters as if they would be part of that anime universe, for example: what would be the best prompt to use to create Sasuke Uchiha designed in the style of Demon Slayer, Attack On Titan, Dragonball etc. so that he is recognizable and wearing the outfit of the respective anime and not his own? Hope anyone can help me :)

[@WadeMcMaster]

I cant say for sure process wise, I'd need to test and nut it out. But simple wording would be first (Pikachu in the style of Naruto). The next step beyond would be trying character references, image and style references. I think I'll investigate and see what I can come up with

[@senyacinema]

@ just to make sure I responded to you

[@Himball]

Man I love u! This is exactly what I was looking for, I’m trying to create a 10 slide short anime novel that’s how I ended up here. I’ve watch the entire video but I need help with a few things. If I’m making a story how can I make the character in different scenes of the story but it’s the same character and also is the basic subscription enough? Your answer would mean a lot and also if there’s any tip you would like put in incase I missed it I’d appreciate it!

[@WadeMcMaster]

Basic should work! I would use Character Consistency in Niji to keep your character dialled in. Here's a video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZCWlqWhbdmqhJI

[@Himball]

@@WadeMcMaster you really are the BEST I tell ya!!! Thanks make new the journey begins. Going through your channel to see tips on other topics. Thanks again mate can’t thank you enough

[@xTheDescendantx]

Yooo this is so good! Is midjourney free tho?

[@WadeMcMaster]

It's not sorry mate, but you can try these prompt styles in any Ai Art platform, that's the good thing about using this kind of terminology, it is reasonably universal to a degree

[@VeraYS-vu7fv]

im a huge anime fans and i really like the content of the video! do you know any other tools that are free to generate anime character? im using Stylar and want to learn more about other ai tools

[@WadeMcMaster]

Leonardo ai is good at it, but for character consistency you can also try rendernet

[@oddstudio]

CAN I GENERATE SAME CHARACTEER IN SAME SCENE BUT SLIGHLY DIFFERENT FRAME? CUZ INEED 2 FRAMES TO MAKE A VIDEO

[@WadeMcMaster]

Create on image, then use the Image editor on the website to reframe it (open the image, bottom right go to editor)

[@oddstudio]

@@WadeMcMaster THANK YOU :) AND IS IT CINSISTENT WHEN REFRAMING?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Yeah, it won't change the existing image portion :)

[@lizun5886]

Thanks for the tutorial, I wanted to ask, do you happen to know how, for example, I can turn a character into a different drawing? For example: I want the anime character Goku to be drawn like in the anime one piece, so that the drawing is not like in Dragonball where my character is from, but like in the anime that I wrote. But no matter what I write, the pictures come out completely different, nothing from my conditions not complied with, what should I do?

[@WadeMcMaster]

You can generate a normal pic of Goku and use the image as a character reference? This video may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZCWlqWhbdmqhJIsi=UvrvJMmd4dHefgc7

[@fallen4266]

Lets say you found the style, how would you save it to create more characters like that

[@WadeMcMaster]

I would consider generating a few images, same prompt, and keeping them aside for the style reference tool ( --sref ) You could then use the character reference tool for your characters too

[@fallen4266]

@@WadeMcMaster thanks for the advice, I will try to see if it works

[@pixelander]

Can you turn your own sketch characters into anime? With image input or something

[@WadeMcMaster]

You could try, midjourney isn't as good as astable diffusion for that (so Leonardo AI or alpaca Chroma could be worth trying if you don't get the results you want)

[@RSAMV9611]

How do you creste an AI of a particular anime character we need. For example Goku, Saitama, Gojo etc

[@WadeMcMaster]

I would use --Niji 6 (obviously) then try their name. If that fails add the name of the show, like "kenshiro, character from fist of the North Star," then some descriptive words

[@WadeMcMaster]

I'd also add that it may know most mainstream characters but maybe not everything. You could try adding a character reference "--cref image-url" (use an image of the character)

[@RSAMV9611]

@@WadeMcMaster what about underrated characters that the ai might not know. Like for example : olden day anime like pokemon or beyblade or doraemon etc

[@WadeMcMaster]

You could try character reference, adding --cref [image url] to the end of your prompt (the image url being the url image of the character). It is more designed for AI generated characters, but give it a try either way. This may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZCWlqWhbdmqhJIsi=bxhQYkIBipf4WHGJ

[@theultimateartist4153]

The film director Yoshiaki Kwajiri , is near difficult to get! He did Wicked City,Vampire Hunter D,Ninja Scroll and it's really odd to him him almost non-existent on this software

[@WadeMcMaster]

Yeah some seem to be a bit more slippery than others.

[@theultimateartist4153]

@@WadeMcMasterSo reporting back! I have a premium profile but I hate burning my fast hours, every now and then relax hours begin to move as fast as fast hours so I took advantage of the opportunity as it presented itself. I found something really interesting but putting it on RAW and dropping the style to 0, is style becomes apparent but it gets weirder you cannot use multiple subjects as they can begin to distract so a prompt that acts as a collective works better instead of listing 5 things gothic just like Gothic-science fiction along with the era he came out in. Civitai does his style immediate. I am addicted to using midjourney it literally took me 9 straight hours to figure this out, in most cases it is better to just use images as references . Thanks for reading

[@WadeMcMaster]

Interesting! I need to have a play with raw more often. Good observations, I'll have a play :)

[@SomeGuy048-o1l]

Bro. I try to turn a character into another anime art style and it never works

[@WadeMcMaster]

Sorry to hear mate, what did you try?

[@scottriddell3514]

Can you make a video of western animation in ai or anything non anime in any particular style?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Yeah definitely. Even just 'cartoon style' using v6 does a good job, but you can name the show or decade and get a good result.

[@scottriddell3514]

Why not you make a video of that of the Disney style or cartoon like-wise

[@WadeMcMaster]

I'm definitely looking in that direction - a 'pop culture' series going through cartoons, movies, etc would be a lot of fun and I think people would enjoy playing with the results.

[@witchbladefan1]

What if I want a obscure character? Is there an ai generator that I can feed pics to get images?

[@WadeMcMaster]

You can image prompt with this too, upload some images to the website or use URLs in discord. Either as an image prompt or character reference ( use --cref URL URL (etc) in discord or click the little character reference icon on the websites I age prompt area

[@pixelander]

Anyone know if you can make an animation with this?

[@WadeMcMaster]

You can do some basic stuff by using image to video on something like Leonardo AI or runway (one of those AI video platforms) but very basic so far. It's constantly improving though! So in time...

[@pixelander]

@@WadeMcMaster so if you were to create a full anime scene doing that would it be good?

[@WadeMcMaster]

It be probably too limited at this time for that, but I. The future, maybe not
