Leonardo AI - Create Consistent Characters

In this video, I will show you how to generate consistent looking human characters in stable diffusion using LeonardoAI. Stable diffusion is a technique that allows you to create realistic and diverse images from a low-dimensional latent space. LeonardoAI is a platform that lets you train and use stable diffusion models for various domains, such as faces, animals, landscapes, etc.
This method works with any stable diffusion model on any platform, including Automatic 11111, InvokeAI, Midjourney AI, and others. You can use it to create characters for games, comics, animations, or any other project that requires human faces.

I am happy that i came across your channel! I want to use Leonardo AI more extensively from now on and your videos are really really good and well explained.

[@Marcus_Ramour]

just starting out on my AI art journey and this is a really helpful video - many thanks for sharing!

[@pedambr199]

i found this video interesting, informative and and fun to watch. thanks for the upload

[@ElHongoVerde]

Pretty cool. I'm trying to adapt it to characters I've already created using SEEDS and other parameters. The truth is that the result is much more consistent than just using a SEED without more. EXCELLENT!

[@engineerprompt]

Glad you found it useful!

[@Otchengazoom]

So the key point and step 1 is to use unique name, right? Step 2 is collect images that you like for dataset. Step 3 is train our own model using Leonardo option. Step 4 is create unlimited images with different outfit and different poses , but with the same face(character) using your own model. Am I right?

[@DJVARAO]

Dude, you just decoded the Matrix! thank you.

You are welcome Dr B :)

[@DFMoray]

What about creature characters?

[@italirie2667]

Brilliant! Got to try it out.

[@TheRalic]

Simple and easy tutorial, thanks 👌

[@AmazingJourneyAi]

Thanks for this Tutorial

[@jerryworm]

Hi. I would like to add one more additional rule after naming a character. You need to delete previous generated images which do not have the desired face or look because the AI will use previous images as references.

[@engineerprompt]

Interesting insight, that makes sense

[@jerryworm]

It works for me. I hope it works for you too 😁

[@kozavr]

Are you trying to say that AI is being trained on the images we create? I doubt that.

[@SaDTV]

Wow, did not know this. Always wanted a way to 'tell' the AI that X, Y look good, but Z looks bad. I'll try it!

[@thanksfernuthin]

That's a good idea. It has to create some sort of value for something even if it doesn't know what it is and it's going to generate the same value every time. It's just a matter of finding which name creates the person you want.

[@engineerprompt]

Exactly.

[@BenPanna]

[@user-on1ov6rc6k]

This is brilliant.

[@boggers]

This makes me wonder, would it be possible to have image to text guess a persons name from a photo or series of photos, and then use the same name with text to image to generate more images of that person without ever training a model.

[@AllanGildea]

Super helpful, thank you!

[@engineerprompt]

Thank you 😊

[@edtomlinson1833]

Very helpful. What if I have want to use an existing picture? For example, I have a headshot photo, and I want to generate a full-body image, and then use that as a consistent character (able to change clothing, poses, etc.)? I want this to look like a real person, not an avatar.

[@nancelot6115]

this is what I spent most of my day trying to figure out, watching one video after another and none of the different tools i've tried have created an image that looks like the person I upload. It seems like it should be the most simple thing for AI to do, right? Copy this image, give the person new clothes, a different pose. nope.

[@lumideo]

That's what the custom models creation are meant for, you can compound and add seed input when you have a look you like. Or use image to image

[@rosequartz1208]

@@lumideo- What is ‘Seed input’? ( Sorry I’m new to Ai image generators.. lol)

[@vickyrajeev9821]

Thank you so much Bro

[@SkyEther]

Thanks so much for sharing! Was looking for this :) especially in Leonardo AI. Question: if you create a person with a certain look first, are you able to tie that look to a name and generate different scenes from there? Because I want my characters to look a certain way, not just determined by what comes out from the machine when I use a name. Cheers! 🙏

[@engineerprompt]

There are a couple of options. You can use that image as part of the prompt with a fixed seed. This works in MidJourney (I have a video coming up on that next week). I haven't tested that in Leonardo ai so not sure if it's going to work here. The second approach will be to train a dreambooth model of your person. If you are using an ai generated image, then you probably will not have enough images of that character to train a model. So I would recommend to first use img2img (with high weight) to first generate a dataset. Hope this helps.

[@SkyEther]

@@engineerprompt thanks, will try first option first! If not working, I will explore dreambooth. Appreciate it! Keep up the good work :)

[@Greg_M1]

You didn't address the big question: does the unique 'name' of the person carry over to other sessions, giving same results? I guess not, but it should if the AI companies got their act together. One should be able to count on there being consistency from session to session in some manner.

[@srikantdhondi]

Could you please make video on "Character Consistency SOLVED in Stable Diffusion" since i could not find it on youtube?

Thank you soooooooooooo much!!!!

[@talfrei]

How owuld you prompt to create specific pose and hand position of your human model? I need to create an athlete that is holding his hands up in front of his chest.

[@lilillllii246]

Thanks as always. Is it better to fix the seed to keep the routine character or Laura? or midjourney? Leonardo AI?

[@engineerprompt]

Seed plays a critical role. If you can train a LoRA, that's the best option.

[@ronnytanoyo1067]

hi, do you have any experienced with image generation for fashion? like maybe outfit of the day but with the same character? thank you

[@engineerprompt]

Yes, you can check out playground which has that ability.

[@RideShareRocks]

Can you do this with an image you want imported?

[@rocaivan]

Is it possible to use this method with a custom character from a user's photography and to use another at the same time another image to define the posture of the character?

[@engineerprompt]

In order to do that, have a look at pose transfer (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKesdHqFZpedn5o)

[@meriyemfathi428]

Thank you, but I tried the free version and I don't get the pictures I desire , they give me cartoon pictures which I don't need. Is the pictures you generated belong to the paid version?

[@user-vg4wh3zx4v]

Really enjoyed your video! In my character design work, I've been exploring Stylar AI, an AI-based design tool that's very designer-friendly. It provides great control over AI models and image outputs. It's in its early stage and a bit buggy, but trying it out could be beneficial.

[@wopskino1]

Is it free?

[@user-vg4wh3zx4v]

Impressive video! I do character design and Stylar AI has been a recent discovery. This AI tool is fantastic for designers, offering control over AI models and image results. It's still developing and somewhat buggy, but I highly suggest trying it.

[@MrSongib]

I noticed They had almost similar faces even though they had a different name. Is there a way to name the character if we got the face first and then call it back to get the same facial structure?

[@engineerprompt]

For that you will need to look at training your own models. Look into dreambooth and loras

[@MrSongib]

@@engineerprompt I know that stuff, what I mean is that if we encounter some character we generate it from our prompt and "name" that character ourselves so we can call it back without Lora or some embedding. or it's just not possible for now?

[@engineerprompt]

@@MrSongib As far as I know, that's not possible at the moment. In this case the "Name" is used in the latent space to derive the creation of the image in the first place. But giving a name after creation of a character is not really going to help in the next image creation step.

[@MrSongib]

@@engineerprompt Yeah sadly. But if I used your method here seems good and can recall the face pretty well. so I think for now is that put some random names until you like the character that you get and recall them again in the future project. it's working pretty well. thanks.

[@gorkadicapitan]

can you copy paste the nagative promops?

[@stealthbastard8837]

Why not photorealistic instead of deliberate 1.1 model?

[@wingofwinter888]

[@jhlewis10]

Can you make a video on how to stop Leonardo from cutting the head off of every render? I have my own fine tuned model made up of 11 768x768 close up photos. When I try to use them, and start with full body, eye level, zoomed out etc, and for neg I put zoomed in, close up etc. I am spending all of my time just trying to get a full head, and have no time for creativity.

[@engineerprompt]

Probably use something like ultra-wide angle in the prompt. That might help. I haven't looked at Leonardo in a while but will be looking at it soon as they have added some great features.

[@truthexplorer2939]

I was using random name, it was giving similar face but when i made changes in promt like "clean shaved" then it start giving me totally different face,and then i Lost my previous character...i think in very beginning we should give promt in complete details otherwise character will be change

[@mullinsmcd]

Did you try this by just putting in random characters and numbers? maybe theres a benefit for making it x tokens long. I'm sure it doesn't have to be an actual name

[@engineerprompt]

From my experiments, very unique name does have an impact.

[@91djdj]

Do you know a trick/the best way how to get the same person with the same outfit/style but in a different position? Like waving, running, looking down etc.

[@engineerprompt]

Use either dreambooth or controlnet

[@91djdj]

@@engineerprompt Okay. Shall i use the unique name for the person in the following prompts as well? I am not very good with the prompt design...

[@girrajjangid4681]

Can we generate our own images. By providing some reference images?

[@engineerprompt]

Yes, so the initial image can be yours and then assign a name it to. It's probably not going to be too stable though. I would recommend to look at something like dreambooth for that purpose

[@ig_sHU]

2:34 can i get the promtes for fixing emma watson face i could not even after trying for 2 days adding every negative prompt to fix this but i couldnot

[@stableArtAI]

Sorry as a Neophyte to AI and SD 1.5, disagree There are several ways to generate different images not only with the same face but even with different styles and no need for any LORAs. One of the major keys items we have found is the SEED, not always need the seed, but with it one can get more consistency. Also, no a name is not needed. But what is being done by using a name is narrowing the AI sampling set to a sample that already has a consistent facial image and likeness. Such as when you are using Emma's name. The AI sample is pulling from Emma W samples. We wish that you could interrupt generation and save the image at a particular percentage because not only do you see the sample sets, but sometime the image is even just as good as the end results. In our short time we have created characters with same facial image without training in our journey to learning SD. Several we have added to the NSFw galleries. One of the lates is The AI model "Staci" and now the name "Staci" was not part of the original prompt.

I tried this with Indonesian common names and it's not working, the faces are very differrent. Then i tried with celebrity names, and voila, it generatese similar face of the celebrity. I think it's not working on "random" names, it has to be someone whose face is recognizable enogh in the internet, at least it's true with Indonesian names.

[@gohan2091]

Which is better? Playground AI or Leonardo AI?

[@engineerprompt]

Both are good, if you want more models, go with LeonardoAI. But Playground is great if you want to edit images with text like instruct2pix. You can select an area of the image to edit. That's a pretty neat feature.

[@gohan2091]

@@engineerprompt have you played around with Playgrounds infinite canvas? That's a really cool feature, works well. Haven't tried Leonardo but Playground has added a new model called Playground which is pretty nice

[@Sams.Videos]

Did a quick check on FB. It appears that the names you typed in coincide with the people on FB. This is not a trick, the program just uses the real people it finds linked to the names on FB to generate the images. 😒

Interesting, the model doesn't have access to internet after training. My suspension is that it probably learns average look for each region
