Heck YES this is exciting- I can't wait to try it out! Thankyou, another amazing tut as usual :D

Happy New year! thanks for all your videos!

"What a difference a day makes..." so the song goes, but 7 days! I really missed all your AI updates. This one is critical to my current project. Thanks Tim for your pointers.

This is indeed a great platform for producing fairly stable characters. Been using it to generate scenes for generative video ai production. Takes a bit of work but you can get some pretty amazing results.

Incredible video, Tim! Watching you with Scenario is like seeing a magician pull a rabbit out of a high-tech hat. AI art's journey from "abstract blob" to "hey, that's a person!" is nothing short of miraculous. And here's a funnier AI joke for you: Why did the smartphone go to therapy? Because it lost its contacts and couldn't connect anymore! Thanks for the tech-tacular insights!

Really wonderful walk through!Thanks Tim, you are my favorite. ;)

Wow, this looks exactly what I was looking for, thanks for informing me!

Thanks, Tim. Very informative as always. I just forwarded this to a friend wanting this exact type of thing for a board game. 👍

Fantastic, very excited about the projects I could use this in

Why would you choose to use a famous character that the model already knows? That makes this demonstration of it's capabilities fairly pointless

nice sharing and that is something we all want, consistent characters and being able to create a video with the character

Incredible. Thank you for the breakdown.

Thank you for this video, it's incredible and for the files too! I don't intend to use this for anything in particular but I'm interested in what this tool can do

Great content, as always, Tim!

Thanks for the video, you helped me learn how to create characters based on 3D models. I used this survey in Leonardo AI and got a pretty good result.

Ive done some character turnarounds using auto 1111 but its very based on a single seed and prompt combo with openpose controlnet. Way more involved process and not as many strong outputs like this. Good vid.

I can't wait to have a consistent character option, storytelling simply doesn't work without it. Thanks for the video, it's definitely a step forward in the right direction

Congratulations on approaching 100,000 subscribers! I hope it happens soon. :)

The adventures of Santa Ciri are something we all need in our lives 😁. Thanks for the great summary vid.

Thanks for that. I was looking exactly for this.

I had this in beta test since the in April last year and I cant promise you, it's really great!

Yes, this. I have wanted consistent characters for so long.

Not too shabby & certainly an easier alternative to learning all the ComfyUI nodes I had to tinker with to achieve the same results. That said, I'm sticking with ComfyUI as it gives me far more control over everything. Thanks for the info & rock on!

Great stuff. And consistent characters in images inevitably leads to consistent characters in videos since we can do image to video. Loving it.

Great video. Excited to try this out.

Consistent characters, and correct looking hands, are the two biggest challenges. Using the same seed and somewhat of the same description does help keep a character looking the same (as long as every single generation parameter is the same)... But getting proper hands is VERY difficult, only 1/10 images I generate have decent looking hands. I'm using epiCRealism and have tested many other models, seems like they all struggle a lot.

I have a lyric video project coming up soon and this could be EXACTLY what I'm looking for!! Good work!!!

Thanks! great tutorial video. I'm excited to try it out

As long as the story and characters are original this is amazing

Your videos are so helpful and well presented. Thanks.

The reason the AI used elf-ears is that your character reminds me a lot of a comic book character called Cendre, created by the artist Orpheelin many years ago. The comic book is called Northern.

Schecter E/A!!!! I have that same guitar. Absolutely love it. You should make a video with it.

The backwards facing sword is actually a well-used killing technique where the hand is drawn forwards and down fully across the body surprising your opponent in front of you. It was well used in swordplay in Asia and Europe.

Really good video, thanks 👍

Thanks for your effort. This is the first image generation to close in on what I actually want. Great stuff.

this is awesome! Thank you!

That posing feature is insane I wonder how good you can get using those reference dolls and posing it to your content and then taking a picture of it

I was interested in images for a while but now video is so good especially with pika 1.0 website im waiting for consistant characters in video, i think thats when youtube is going to get much more exciting

I wish we had you as a lecturer in the 90s, Your no bull, no clickbait and acknolegement , exctiment on this technology is infectious. Please keep up the good work. 😉

I've been experimenting with consistent characters in mid journey by "casting" those characters with real life actors, and then providing prompts for hair, makeup and costume. It has worked surprisingly well.

Thank you for your Vedic. I’m trying now.😊

Nice, going to share this in the PIKA channels , always getting asked for this :)

Great video, Tim! Thanks for the heads-up on a new tool that can really make a difference. I'll contribute to your PDF and overall efforts, it's just a bit shameful that my local currency, Brazilian Reais, is so devaluated. 😢😮

Thx Tim! Keep it up for us Budz!

Thank you very much for making this video! I've been looking for something like this for a long time and I'm finally getting great art for my original characters. I've been struggling with the side views, though. Did you use any negative prompts to make yours look so good?

This is really cool. So I’m guessing we can use say Ai generated art from other applications, download them and then can upload them into Scenario? Or even use them as a reference to get the model in which the other applications do not generate what you are looking for. It will be really interesting how this will evolve, maybe be able to make scripts or animate what you want them to do.

been messing with something like this in comfy using a workflow i found recently..as long as you lock the seed for your character/subject prompt and of course the same models etc, you get 99% the same character the workflow uses two prompts: a background prompt for the scenery and a subject prompt for the characters… it then uses IPAdapter and condition combining to put the Subject into the background : background can change depending on prompt weights etc in the final image but the character stays very consistent. even with keeping the seed randomized as long as the prompt is detailed enough it also keeps consistent.

Have you had any issues with Scenario's model maker cutting off tops/sides/etc. of images you upload? Everything seemed to work flawlessly until I went to make the character model... but it won't let me scale the image when I try to adjust the crop.

Yes! This is what I have been waiting for. Thanks man!

thank you for this been expirmaneting with wrighting now that we have editing tools the make it so my disabilites dont get in the way of wrighting

legend - as usual. thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is using obviously stable diffusion which you can use it unlimited and free on your own computer or on a dedicated server with a price of the server. But as a start point for understanding the basics good website to start with because it simplifies things. Thanks for the video

Love your vids! Thanks for the update on AI news!! It's going so fast, I've already used AI for projects and I'll definitely use it more often from now on.

Hey great tutorial, I had a question , can you load a png image character that you have drawn yourself and ai will make your character do different poses , I’m only new to this .

Love the "This Is Spinal Tap" reference.

Consistent character is very easy in stable diffusion.. Just train the model. On top of that, many controlnets to put the model in any pose or outfit. Also face swaps can be done easily as well.

Thanks, this is cool! I'm waiting for Midjourney to add this kind of features, but it’s good to know that A.I. image generating is getting there: Consistent characters and the ability to pose them the way you want.

Great video! One question, do you know if it is possible in Scenario, or any other generator, to create a character and name it. Then go on vacation for a week, and then come back and create more photos with that same character? If so, how? Thanks again!

Looks to be the same mix of LorAs and model blending available everywhere, but it does seem to get good results so maybe they've got a good handle on default config settings to use. I'd honestly go through this to record all the default values they give you and try it myself on a stable diffusion cloud install. Not a dig on them, providing a good UX and reliable results for non programmers has been something apparently really hard for most of these Stable Diffusion as a Service sites. The number of subscriptions I need for a complete workflow because each site might have one or two things they do better, has been growing to huge sizes. There are also attempts at using AI to generate a 3d model from the turnaround sketches, I'm eager to see that. If you can get a simplified 3d model to manipulate into poses, you could then use that are your reference image for controlnet to feed back into your detailed whatever-style 2d image.

Hi and many thanks for this video. I have a question. How can you achieve the 3 images on scenario (frontal, side back) when is not a human body, for example an animal cartoon? which reference image could I use for this case?

Throwing appropriate shade on Nordic fairy tales. i love it.

Good Content, any way to do with stable diffusion?

Excellent work Tim. You have a great feel for what is good. Thank you for posting!

IPAdapter face ID + Insightface loader + IP adapter apply (face model you like + clip vision) does the same thing but better and works with all models, from anime to 3d to artistic to realistic

Hi, could you tell me before watchnig your whole video, if this works for photo-realistic consistent characters (seems you're using fantasy art style characters in the video). thanks!

Im trying to make a graphic novel and need the ai to generate my character's consistently. Would you recommend this way to do that?

consistent characters is very needed at this point 🤘

When you did the prompt for ciri sitting in a tavern with a barbarian is it possible to use a second model, so you could use consistently two characters or even a group?

Thanks, Tim, for the awesome video. I've been exploring AI for my own projects, specifically in the realm of AI Storyboards and AI Movies, and this tool seems like it could be a game-changer. I'll definitely consider giving it a try. Thanks again for sharing this valuable information! 👍🎬

It looks great to make book covers and art books too.

Thanks a million Tim!! I went to gunroad and I'm guessing the "I want this" button represents the download? Or am I missing something?

Great video Tim. I’ve been struggling with this.

Great video, but I already have my character designed I cant figure out how to use the image I have of it to generate other views?

Wow it's got some features for sore !

An artist looking at this can spot so many issues, but to the non-artist it looks great.

Thanks for this, it was very helpful. I think your mic is recording with too much gain, or something.

Another great video. I watched it through and then went step-by-step on a second viewing. Your character seemed to keep a far more consistent costume in all of the images you generated compared to mine, wonder if there was reason for that, or if you had some images where the costume wasn't much like your original?

Incredible! Hey, would you recommend you´re favourite free upscaler, please?

at 8:52 your screen shows "Your Models" mine does not. Does this only show up on a paid version?? im stuck

Is scenario not able to generate characters with braces? I can't seem to make it generate a character smiling with braces. I've tried prompts "braces", "teeth with braces", and "grinning with braces".

Love the humor Tim

I couldn't really get it to work as shown no matter what I did. In particular color was an issue. The reference image would either make the whole thing black and white with maybe one item or two colored despite specifying color for each part individually or even just telling it to have color. I ended up greatly increasing guidance and got something much closer to what I wanted but could no longer get it to do the front, side, and back view. It'd be very helpful to see exactly what prompts and settings you used to help guide the changes I might need to make

You mentioned initially setting the reference image to have 0% influence, what does that mean? It still seemed to have a small bit of influence in the output since it did generate 3 character images in approximately the same poses as the reference image. Shouldn't setting it to 0% mean that it has no effect at all? Or does the AI still consider the pose but not any of the details or art style?

Hmmm moonvalley is certainly spot on with faces but clothing is another issue. Also build/figure would be easy to keep consistent except for the fact bust measurements/vital statistics are classed as NSFW prompt text items. However, not really found it too hard to bring "Byrwho" to life via ai text 2 video myself.

No, there are no non-creepy nordic fairytales lol! Another great video, definitely will check this out!

I don't seem to be able to scroll the image down for resizing while cropping to the 1:1

Thanks for consistently making great AI news for creatives! 👏

Hi, I followed the steps and my creations are line drawings and without color. Any ideas for a solution?

Hi again. Okay, so your name is Tim, right? I'm enjoying playing around with Scenario, it does feel like it has some potential. Various thoughts after several hours of experimenting: I used one of your models, I used the female shape at three angles. Still unable to get a generate model at completely side view though. what did you do to get completely side facing. most I've got is a women looking to the side and at an angle from the back. The model I got from you, it's a greyish female humanoid with a sort of exoskeleton line path mapping out the contours. I went to google looking for other basic humanoid profiles and scenario could barely add features. But it had no problems making a real looking human from the model you provided. I'm so confused by all this. I'm still basically in the first third of your tutorial.

Hello Mr....ummm ..... Mr TM? So, this looks really good. Is everything you showed in this tutorial capable of being done on the starter free version? I want to give it a try but also to be able to do all the stuff you showed in this tutorial.

Comic AI has consistent characters maybe you could do a video on it

It can’t take a way from your creativity, don’t let it bother you

7:02 How do you 'scroll the image down'? I tried simply scrolling and holding down buttons like Shift and Ctrl while scrolling, but that doesn't work.

Cool thx.

How about posing multiple consistent characters together in a scene? Does this AI tool allow for multiple consistent characters to be posed together in a scene? When it comes to storytelling, it’s not enough to just have a single consistent character in the scene. The different characters will often have to interact with each other throughout the story, so it’s important to show these interactions between characters in the images that are produced.

I have a problem creating the character turnaround.. It seems to have an inconsistency when comparing three different angles. How do I fix that? Could you give an example how to prompt the different views? Thanks.

Hello just trained 2 characters how can i use them to get 2 characters in a single image
