FAQs about character reference sheets

How can I create a character reference sheet with AI?

Create a character reference sheet with Dreamina's standard AI Canvas, either with a text prompt or a reference image. Add an image node, describe the character's appearance and visual traits, generate and refine the result. You can also keep prompts, references, variations, and finished designs together on the infinite canvas as you develop the character.

Which character details should I include in an AI prompt?

For best results, describe the character's face, hairstyle, body type, clothes, colors, accessories, expressions, poses, and general style. Dreamina's text-to-image feature lets you build a fuller visual reference based on these details. AI Canvas can further help you manage the different design elements and variations in one place.

What types of character reference assets can I generate with AI?

With Dreamina, you can create more than a single character portrait. Generate full-body views, poses, facial expressions, outfit variations, character concepts, and different visual directions for the same design. Using Seedream 5.0 Pro for image generation and Seedance 2.5 for video creation also lets you explore characters across different multimodal assets.

Can I create a character from an existing reference image?

Yes. Dreamina can turn your reference image into a character with its image-to-image generation feature. This means you can upload a character reference and use it as a visual guide for a new design. You can then generate new variations, experimenting with changes to the character's clothing, pose, expression, styling, or other details.

How can I maintain consistent characters across different views?

You can use Dreamina's AI Agent to help you preserve core character traits as you generate multiple perspectives and variations. Store your reference images, prompts, generated designs, and variations together on standard AI Canvas. Use them as linked visual references when generating new assets. This way, it is easier to maintain recognizable features across different poses, expressions, outfits, and scenes.
