How to use Scenario AI

Choose a model:

Go to the Models tab in Scenario.

Select a model that is in the vibe of the character you want to create. Don't worry about finding the perfect one yet, you can blend and remix later.

Click "Generate with this model" to get a basic idea of the style.

Prompt your character:

Use the prompt box to describe your character, including details like age, hair color, clothing type, etc.

Add prompts for front, side, and back views to ensure the model generates the character from multiple angles.

Use the Prompt Builder or Prompt Spark features for inspiration if needed.

Don't forget negative prompts to avoid unwanted elements in your character.

Refine your character:

Use the reference image feature to upload a template of a male or female character.

Upload one of two images below onto the "Reference Image" section

Female Reference

Male Reference

Set the mode to "Image to Image" and adjust the influence slider to control how much the template affects your character.

Keep rolling and refining the prompts until you get a result you like.

Upscale and edit your character:

Click the "Upscale" button and choose the desired resolution. You can use Scenario's basic upscale or a third-party tool like Magnific for better results.

Import the upscaled image into Photoshop or any other photo editing software.

Cut out the front, side, and back views of your character from the image, as well as separate headshots from each angle. 


Train your character model:

Go back to Scenario and click the "+" button next to Models.

Choose "Train your own model" and drag all of your character's views into the training window.

Rename your model and add a description to help Scenario understand your character.

You can adjust the training settings, but the default settings are usually a good starting point.

Blend your character with other models (optional):

Go back to the main menu and click the "+" button next to Models again.

Choose "Compose with Precision" and add your character model.

Add other models that represent the style you want your character to have (e.g., creepy Nordic fairy tale, cell shaded illustrations).

Adjust the influence sliders to control how much each model affects the final result.

You can use the test button to see how different blends look before committing.

Refine the pose and details (optional):

Use the reference image feature to add a picture of your character in a specific pose you want them to be in.

Use the Control Net feature to fine-tune the pose, landscape, structure, etc. of your character.


You can also use the canvas feature in Scenario to edit out unwanted elements or make other adjustments.

Tips:

  • It's important to be patient and keep rolling the prompts until you get the results you're looking for.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different models, prompts, and settings.
  • Use negative prompts to avoid unwanted elements in your character.
