Converting Anime to Photo Real

Just thought I’d show people some before and after samples.

I’ve been slowly converting some of my favourite anime into photo real. All it requires is to dump the anime into one of the reference slots, and then you provide a detailed, paragraph long, description of the image. That’s it. You don’t even need to say {ref1}, in fact it is better if you don’t.

You won’t get an exact picture perfect translation, but you should get something pretty close to it. Keep in mind my anime drawings have already gone through one or two detail upgrades. If your image is overly cartoonish this won’t work. But if it is a detailed animation, and most are these days, then you should be fine. It really only becomes a problem when characters have giant eyes, and no nose. That’s not enough information for the Ai to work with. You need to meet it halfway.


The reason I used to do everything in anime first was because the anime Ai had a better understanding of anatomy and could effortlessly draw dynamic poses. However the photo real Ai models have finally caught up.


The photo real model requires more direction otherwise it’ll give you very static poses. But it is capable of doing any pose you can describe.


As always, if you have any questions, just ask.
