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.

I could also draw them by hand. I'm well aware of the options available with compositing and I've been aware of poser, blender, Cinema etc etc. The point is to streamline this with Firefly. Another reason this is desperately needed is for storyboarding. I'll just do thumbnails by hand rather than go through the gymnastics you suggest.

 

I appreciate your willingness to suggest workarounds but isn't the whole idea of AI to streamline the production process, not find other ways to do things the way they're done now?

@ CSI Productions.
Until Firefly has this capabilty I create a character I like and download. Then I can mask all but the charater in Photoshop and then place in different Firefly produced scenes.  I can change the size of character  and colors of the clothes amd placement and can flip  but of course not the 'tween orientations.  Even with creative use of layers I can selectively place behind a prop.  Not a big payoff but a tiny work-a-round.  I did this to create 3 solo charaters from a trio and once isloated can place individual characters in different parts of a scene. Etc.

I am exploring the use of poser software that is mainly used for artists to create a particular pose to draw from.  Similar to the old school wooden posers.  The online vesrions work great and can be imported into 3D modeling programs like Blender.  The needed piece would be to have a set of clothes that are also 3D renderble that then could be used to wrap around  the body model.  I do that already with say upholstery and chairs.  Basically 3D paper doll sets.

Add to the wish list.

Welcome to club of people trying to do exactly the same thing. We're all hoping Adobe is working on this. I've see other apps that people are using with this capability so I know it can be done. If you discover a way to do it with the available tools, please PLEASE let us know. I'm trying to do some children's book illustrations and this would be mandatory for the character to carry over between images in various scenarios.

I'm trying to create a storyboard quickly. I'd like to be able to use the same character (same shirt, same hairstyle, same age / look) but I can't figure it out. Would love to do that. Or sometimes I like the image, but I don't like the style (I need it to look like a sketch). I want to be able to use the same image but ask the engine to change the style of it. Or change one part of it.

I think such a feature would be very strong. There is already the possibility to upload reference images. That already works pretty well. If I now imagine that I upload a character as a reference, which is then incorporated into all images, this would be a powerful tool.

Yes to consistent characters!

From my point of view, one of the most important features that is currently still missing: people and characters must remain the same from image to image. So that you can, for example, tell a story with the same characters over several images.

pour une histoire, vous pourriez demander de décrire les différents personnage et de les nommer... ainsi lorsque l'on veut générer des illustrations, ses premières images créées par votre IA pourraient être utilisées comme base... on garderait plus de cohérence dans notre travail

This technique is FAR, FAR away from what folks are asking for but in the meaantime, I have had some success with this approach.

 

I use the Firefly "slot machine" and arrive at a few characters in a scene that  I am happy with.  I use photoshop and a mask program to isolate the characters.  Then I use just the character  file to seed Firefly along with a description.  I have even had some luck with asking for different views of the subject.  After many generates, I usually come up with several viable views of my chaacter.  I then pick a host scene from Firefly and use Photoshop to overlay a masked version .  I can move the character around fairly convincingly.

 

For example the winged guide fairy in my story was created seperately from the scene.  I guess I could use generative fill but I like to work in Photoshop as I can blend and place with better control.

Lot of neat "coming soon" features in the video you sent, but I didn't see anything about maintaining a consistent character across multiple scenes and situations. Was I missing something or were you referring to a different video?
