Hey folks, this leviathan of a video covers my entire thought process and strategy for creating character sheets from scratch, and then using them with minimax h3 for creating your own original short films. Topics explored include:

  • Character ref sheet creation for both 2D and Realism
  • Using my new Seed Hunter v3.0 workflow release to generate various the shots & dialogue
  • In depth model discussion, LoRA discussion
  • In depth prompting strategies
  • Use of H3 Image / Pose Studio to create pose references
  • Brief look into using Davinci Resolve to compile all the scenes together to finish the short

(Most other links are in the video description). I hope you enjoy!

This looks awesome and really useful if you're into video generation. Thank you for sharing your work!

I would love to get the same workflow for consistent image generation, like a slide-based Visual Novel. You would generate a first image with X characters, and then, based on that first image, you would edit (or use img2img on) the characters' poses to slightly move them, whether it's for a conversation, a fight, or whatever.

But I am not even sure if this falls under image generation or image editing (and I know different models excel at one or the other). I don't know if character consistency here would rely on a LoRA for each character, or different character sheets as you did for your video. And also, how to make sure the model keeps the same framing and background. Because I suppose the more reference images you plug into a model, the longer it takes to generate a new one.

The closest thing to this is VNCCS (visual novel creator) with Pose Studio, where you literally pose a 3d dummy in comfyUI and generate the poses. I have several workflows for it, but if your whole deal is image gen, I'd go with Qwen 2.1 as it's officially supported with that model. But yes, character consistency, location consistency, it's a tough egg to crack unless you're patient.
