Take a look at this Instagram model who has 2.6 million followers. And this one has 294,000 followers. But did you know this person actually doesn’t exist in real life? This is an AI generated model created by someone who can possibly earn around $1,000 per post. So in this video, I’ll show you how you can create your own realistic AI influencer in just four simple steps. So make sure you watch the video till the end. I’m Bran from Learners and let’s get started.
Before we start, please note that this video’s purpose is to show how easy it is to create an AI influencer. However, misusing this technique could get you into trouble. So, use it wisely. All right. Now, we are going to create our AI influencer using a tool called Focus. Focus is an AI image generation software which is basically a mix of stable diffusion and midjourney. And as a result, you can use it to generate AI images in very high quality from creating realistic AI characters like these, upscaling an image or swapping faces in any image you want. With this tool, you can easily generate any kind of image you want. All right. Now, there are these different ways in which you can access this tool. The first way is to install Focus locally on your computer. If you go to the GitHub page, you can see the minimum system requirements needed to run focus locally. You can check it out and see if your system meets these requirements. If it does, I have provided a link in the description below which will guide you through the installation process. Another way to use the software is through using Google Collab. This method is also free, but you might have to face some runtime issues. I have provided the link for this too. So, if you’re interested, you can go ahead and check it out. The last method is to use focus and run diffusion. Run diffusion is a cloud-based tool where focus is already installed. You can just launch it and just use it. You can use it for free but only for a short period of time. After that you will have to pay and use it. Okay. So compared to the previous two methods using run diffusion is more accessible and easier to use. So in this tutorial I’m going to show you how to do it using run diffusion. So to create our realistic AI influencer we’re going to do four steps. The first step is to launch focus on run diffusion. To do that, just click the link below this video and it’ll take you to rundefusion.com. On Runusion, you will get a 30inut free trial to use focus. Once the free trial ends, you’ll need to pay a minimum of $5 with which you will get 10 hours of access for the tool, which means 1 hour cost 50. Also, if you want, you can use the 10 hours in one go or you can pause the timer and use it whenever you want. All right, to get started, just click free trial. and sign up with your Google account.
Here you can see we have got different tools to choose from. So let’s go to focus and click on select. Then click launch. Now let’s wait for it to launch. And it’s done. Here you can see that the timer has started running. But don’t worry, you can pause it whenever you’re not using the tool just by clicking here. Okay, once you’ve reached this page, we can go to the next step, which is to generate the AI character. And once we have the AI character, we can use it to create a video like this.
First, let’s hide the sidebar by clicking here so that we get more space to work with. All right. Now, to create an AI character, we need to describe our character like how we want it to be. The clothing, the personality, height. You can even add minor details like the color of their skin, hair, eyes, and so on. If you need help, we have a tool on gravity right that can generate the description for you. And trust me, the description it generates are really good. So, just click the link below this video and it’ll take you to this page. Now, here you need to enter the details of your AI character like how you want it to be.
Once you’ve entered that, click create content. And you can see that it has generated three different descriptions. You can go through them and copy the description you want.
Then go back and paste it here. Now click advanced and you will get these settings. Under performance tab, you will get these options to choose from. If you choose speed or extremely speed, it’ll generate the image very fast but the quality will be low. So I recommend you choose quality so that you will get the best possible AI characters. Then here select the aspect ratio you want. I’m going to choose 13 is to 19 and then drag the slider to choose the number of images you want. I’m going to choose four. Now scroll up and go to the style tab. By default these three options will be selected. We’ll just include the focus photography option which will give us more photorealistic images. If you want, you can try all these different styles and select which one you want according to your preference. Once you’re done, just click generate and this tool will start generating the AI images. You can see that it has generated an amazing AI character in four different styles. I can’t believe it’s so realistic and the quality of the image is also very good. Just select the one you like and download it by clicking here. If you’re not satisfied with the character, you can generate it again by clicking here or even try out a different prompt. A quick note, when you create an AI influencer, keep in mind that you need to generate the same character again and again to maintain consistency in whatever you post. So, choose the AI character that you want wisely. Okay. Once you’ve generated the AI character, let’s go to the next step, which is to create different variations of our character. For example, we’ve got our AI character in a park or a lawn, right? But what if let’s say you want a character to be at a music festival or catching some waves at the beach. Well, guess what? With this tool, you can do that as well. Not only the background of the AI character, but you can also change the type of dress, hairstyle, or anything else that you want. So, to do that, let’s go here and click the import image option.
Then go to image prompt. And here you need to add the image of your AI character. You can just drag and drop it from here. Then go to the bottom of the page. Click on advanced checkbox and then you will see these options below the image. Now let’s choose the face swap option. After that here you can make changes to the description like how you want the image to be. For example, I want the same image of this girl in a music festival. So I’m going to enter that here. Once you’re done, click generate.
And you can see that it has generated the image exactly the way I wanted it. Amazing, right? In the same way, you can change the prompt however you want and generate different variations with the same character. All right. Now here you can see that it has generated only the AI character and a very small portion of the background. So next let’s see how we can extend the image like this and get more of the background. So to do that, let’s go to this tab. Then drag and drop the image you want to extend. Click on all these check boxes to extend our image on all sides
and click generate.
Now it looks much better. Okay. Next, let’s see another interesting feature which is to generate the same AI character in different poses like this. All you need is a picture with a specific pose and you can get your AI character generated in the exact same post. If you don’t have one, you can get many different photos from free stock websites like Pixels or Unsplash. So, let’s go to pixels.com. And here you can search for any image you want. I’m going to search for portrait of a girl. And as you can see, we have got different images to choose from. Just select the image you want. Download it by clicking here. Then go back to this tab. Click image prompt. Then drag and drop the image which you just downloaded. Now select Pyanni which will let the tool to copy this pose from this image and click generate.
And you can see that it has generated the AI character with the same pose that we uploaded. Amazing isn’t it? If you look closely, it feels like the face of this image is not exactly matching our AI character. So, let’s see how to fix that. Go to the inpaint outpaint tab.
Remove the old image. Now, drag and drop this image here. Then click on the brush icon. And you can adjust the size of the brush using this slider. Now, draw over your cat’s face like this. Click on this drop-down. Select improve detail and click generate.
You can see that it has improved the face of the AI character and it looks much better. Select the one that looks best and downloaded by clicking here. Not only this, in the same way you can also fix your AI character’s hair or hands in case they don’t look proper. Okay, this is how you can create different variations of your character, even with different poses. Next, we can go to the final step, which is to create a video of our AI character like this. So, to create the video, we’re going to use a tool called Face Fusion. To check it out, just open a new tab and search for Google Collab Face Fusion. Then, click this link and it’ll take you to this page. Now, here, click connect. After that, we need to run these three files. So, let’s go here, click on the play button, and click run. Anyway,
and then do the same for these two files too.
Once it’s done, here you can see that we have got the link to access the face fusion tool. Just click on it
and it’ll take you to this page. Once you’re in, just choose the face enhancer option from here.
Then click here and upload the image of the AI character you want in the video. Once you uploaded the image here, you need to upload the video in which you want to do the face swap. You can either use a video you already have or download and use free stock videos online. I’m going to upload this video from my computer. And while uploading, make sure you never use anyone else’s video without their consent as it’ll definitely get you into trouble. Once you’re done, just click start and it’ll start generating the output. Once it’s ready, if we play it, you can see that it has successfully swapped the face and we have got the video with the face of our AI character. It’s so cool, right? If you like this output, you can download it by clicking here. Now that we have the video, you can go ahead and post it on Instagram or YouTube Reads.
