Understanding AI Characters: Capabilities and Limitations

What Are AI Characters?

AI characters are custom-trained artificial intelligence models that can generate consistent images and videos of a specific person or character. At Vidgenie, we use advanced AI technology to create characters that maintain consistent physical features across different scenes and settings.

Example of character consistency across different generations

Key Capabilities

1. Image Generation

Your AI character can be featured in various scenarios with consistent appearance:

• Professional environments (offices, meetings)

• Casual settings (cafes, outdoor scenes)

• Active situations (sports, fitness)

• Creative spaces (studios, stages)

• Urban locations (city streets, public spaces)

Example of an AI character (Eva) in a scenic environment

2. Video Generation

Transform your AI character into short video clips:

• 5-10 second motion clips

• Consistent appearance throughout the video

• Various poses and expressions

• Natural movements and gestures

Example of a short video clip featuring an AI character (Eva)

3. Style Flexibility

Choose between two primary visual styles:

• Realistic: Photorealistic representations ideal for professional content

• 3D Pixar: Animated style perfect for engaging social media content

Current Limitations

1. Character Consistency

While our AI models strive for consistency, you may notice slight variations in:

• Facial features between generations

• Hair styling details

• Minor clothing elements

Important: While most images maintain good consistency, we cannot guarantee 100% identical features across all generations. This reflects current limitations in AI technology.

2. Multiple Characters

Current limitations include:

• Cannot generate scenes with multiple unique characters

• Attempting to include multiple people may result in character cloning

• Focus remains on single-character scenarios

3. Image Quality Variance

Some technical considerations:

• Quality may vary between generations

• A very small percentage of images may have distorted arms or body parts (known limitation of current-generation AI image models)

• Multiple attempts might be needed for optimal results

• Fast Generation mode trades quality for lower cost and speed

• Some poses or angles may produce distortions

4. Complex Scenarios

Current limitations in scene complexity:

• Detailed action sequences may be challenging

• Very specific hand gestures can be inconsistent

• Complex interactions with objects may vary

• Extreme close-ups might show inconsistencies

Best Practices for Success

1. Training Your Character

For optimal results:

• Use high-quality reference images

• Follow image requirements strictly

• Provide accurate physical characteristics

• Choose appropriate style for your use case

2. Generating Images

Tips for best results:

• Keep prompts clear and focused

• Use the Prompt Builder for structured inputs

• Start with simple scenes before attempting complex ones

• Save successful prompts for future reference

3. Managing Expectations

Remember:

• AI technology is evolving rapidly

• Results improve with practice and experimentation

• Some scenarios may require multiple generations

• Quality varies between generation methods

Future Developments

We're continuously working to improve:

• Character consistency

• Multiple character generation

• Complex scene handling

• Motion and animation capabilities

Stay tuned for updates as we enhance these capabilities!
