Step 1

Generate Your Character Images

Start by creating high-quality images of your character using AI Image Generation. You'll need three different angles for maximum consistency.

1.1

Go to AI Image Generation

Navigate to the AI Image creation tool to start generating your character.

1.2

Create Your Base Character Image

Generate the first image of your character. This will be the reference image for all variations.

Example Prompt:
A professional portrait of a young woman in her late 20s, confident expression, wearing a casual blue denim jacket over a white t-shirt, long brown hair with soft waves, warm hazel eyes, natural makeup, soft studio lighting, clean white background, high quality, detailed facial features, photorealistic

1.3

Create Full Body Version

Use the image editor to create a full-body shot of your character. Upload your base image and use the "Edit Image" Mode with your first image selected.

Full Body Edit Prompt:
Full body shot of the same woman, standing confidently with hands in pockets, wearing blue denim jacket over white t-shirt, dark blue jeans, white sneakers, same facial features and hair, clean white background, full body visible from head to toe, photorealistic, high quality

Create Close-Up Portrait

Create a detailed facial portrait for precise character recognition in future generations.

Portrait Edit Prompt:
Close-up portrait shot of the same woman, face and shoulders only, warm friendly smile, direct eye contact with camera, same brown wavy hair, hazel eyes, natural makeup, soft lighting on face, clean white background, highly detailed facial features, professional headshot style, photorealistic

Pro Tips

  • Keep consistent descriptions (hair color, eye color, facial features) across all prompts
  • Use the same lighting and background style for better consistency
  • Download all three images - you'll need them for the next step

Step 2

Save Your Character to Assets

Add your character images to the Assets library so you can reuse them across all your projects.

2.1

Go to Character Assets

Navigate to the Assets page and select the Characters category.

2.2

Create New Character

Click "Add New Character", enter your character's name, and upload all three images you created. Then click on "Create New Character".

Character Name

Give your character a memorable name (e.g., "Emma - Casual Style")

Upload Images

Upload all the images: base, full body, and portrait

Save AI character to assets in AICUT

Character Saved!

Your character is now saved and ready to use in any AI Image or AI Video generation. You can access it anytime from the character selector.

Step 3

Example Scene Prompt:

Frequently Asked Questions

How many images do I need for a character?
We recommend at least 3 images: a base image, a full-body shot, and a close-up portrait. This gives the AI multiple angles to ensure consistency.
Can I use real photos of people?
You can upload real photos, but make sure you have the rights to use them. For public content, we recommend using AI-generated characters to avoid copyright issues.
Will my character look exactly the same every time?
While AI strives for consistency, there may be slight variations. The more reference images you provide and the more specific your prompts, the better the consistency.
Can I create multiple characters?
Yes! You can create as many characters as you want. Each character is saved separately in your Assets library and can be used independently.
Can I edit my character after saving it?
Yes! You can edit character names and add or remove reference images at any time from the Assets page.
