P: Maintaining a scene or character across different prompts

Let's say I wanted to storyboard a script and produce different angles of the same thing. It would be nice to have something that holds on to the core look and objects within the frame so we can get a wide, medium , and close shot of the same scene.

This tutorial on Adobe Learn covers how to maintain consistent characters across multiple storyboards using Firefly Boards. The same method would work using Text to Image generation as well.

I would like this feature, too. Sometimes the generation is really close to what I want but I need some changes. It would be great to be able to add instrutions to the visible image, like making the sky blue or sunset, etc.

I would like to create a person (let say a tourist) and put him in different situations, like working in the New York street, or playing chess or doing something else. It should be same person in different environment and dressed differently.

I completely agree that being able to keep a face across all iterations of a grompt. Many times I have had the perfect face in a prompt but then it is replace by a less appealing face when I do something as simple as changing the aperture. This is extremely frustrating

Firefly should be able to create multiple images using the same characters

Hello @honeydrew,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind using Generative Match in Firefly (https://helpx.adobe.com/firefly/using/style-match.html) and checking if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

I've been looking for many AI tools to create a photo serie. I want to create a character and place him into different places and poses.. But every AI tool always creates a new picture and changes the look of the character.

Ok, great! I thought I was writing a feature request to Adobe... 

Anyway, if someone know, how this could be done, please tell 😃

Gostaria de sugerir a implementação de recursos aprimorados para a criação de personagens em sua plataforma. A proposta é que os usuários possam manter a identidade visual de seus personagens e, por meio de prompts ou comandos intuitivos, ajustar facilmente posições, cenários ao redor e interações com outros personagens criados pelo mesmo autor.

Imagino que essa funcionalidade simplificaria significativamente o processo de criação, permitindo que os usuários se concentrem na narrativa e na dinâmica entre os personagens, sem a necessidade de redesenhar cada cena. Essa abordagem inovadora não apenas agilizaria o fluxo de trabalho, mas também abriria portas para a criação de histórias visuais mais ricas e envolventes.

Acredito que essa adição não só beneficiaria os usuários ao proporcionar mais flexibilidade e eficiência, mas também enriqueceria a experiência geral na Adobe Firefly. Espero que essa sugestão contribua para o contínuo aprimoramento da plataforma, proporcionando aos criadores um ambiente mais intuitivo e inspirador para dar vida às suas histórias.

Firefly does not do that currently. If you want consistency between scenes and characters in your stories, you might want to explore traditional methods of working. Try Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop or a combination of both.

driving me nuts.  I need to have the SAME two chartoon childern doing various things.  Each time I generate a new sceane, the kids are different.  I've even uploaded a reference pic, and appears to have no effect.

 

Has anyone figured this out?

 

Please advise.

There is an idea for that in the community, but there is no way to consistently get the same character across all generations using just the prompt right now. :< 

Please add your vote to this idea: P: Maintaining a scene or character across different prompts

Please create a feature that allows the character's image to maintain a consistent appearance based on the content written in the prompt. For example, if the prompt is "Create a side view of the character," it should be able to show the character's frontal view as a side view for the same character. The current situation of generating entirely new characters seems insufficient for utilizing the Firefly's capabilities to the fullest. From a designer's perspective, this feature is genuinely essential.

To build storyboard with same characters across images

I appreciate your appreciation! 🙂 

Let's face it, generative AI is still relatively uncharted territory. It's been an "on the job" experience to say the least. 

In terms of prompts, I'm not exactly sure if having more or less information for the tool to bite onto is positive or negative. In my own expereience, and in also using other generative AI image tools outside of Firefly, the more detailed information you can feed it the better. This is why I've developed my own prompting convention to help keep this stuff approachable and manageable, otherwise it gets thick into the weeds really quickly. 

I have some possibly interesting takeaways to share after having just completed my last frame of the script, which was a hurclean feat and a half.  As follows: 

 

  • Generative AI text-to-image (or video) is NOT ready for prime time in the context of multiframe narrative where you need the same character throughout the storyline. No jobs are getting replaced here. The toolset will get there within the next year or two, especially if there's a ton of demand for that out there, but as it stands today you'd better have a full body of hair on your head because half of it is getting pulled out and the other half is going grey. True story. 

  • Firefly's "Style Reference" feature is a great bonus in terms of getting similar results, BUT it most definitely needs refinement, such as locking or resusing the same seed generation, which would go a long way to help ensuring you get the desired result. Again, if used, ALL characters in your scene get the same likeness. Everyone looks like a sibling. It's currently working in a pinch to varied results, but it feels rudimentry, or too "user-friendly" as it stands at the moment. Adobe, give us a little autonomy here. 
  • Maybe this is a placebo due to starring at the screen for rash of uninterprupted consecutive hours, but as I went along in my generation journey of my character generation results seemed to get progressively worse. My results started to get progressively "muddier". I'm not sure how Firefly is working under the hood, and I doubt Adobe will let us take a peek, but resetting the UI seemed to bring it back to results I would expect. 

 

  • Hands. Lord help us all with AI hands. Pick your poisonous generation tool, they all suffer from this and it will be the bane of my AI existence until it's reliably addressed. 

 

  • Production time: Thought you were going to save time=money, did you? Ha! Sure, I didn't have to illustrate each frame which obviously DOES save time=money in the grand scheme of things, but there's plenty of time=money in having to sit there and massage the deep learning models to behave itself like an onry toddler. There's hope here; As the models data mine more information the equation will eventually be, "understanding=awesome sauce". 

 

Cheers, and happy holidays, you crazy creative cloud kids!
