The First Age

Massive thanks to @AidenFinnegan for showing me the wonders of Lensa - an AI-powered app that can generate what they call "magic avatars." 

I put my stock photos of Nik through it and 100 images popped back out. These are some of my favorites, although there are many more good ones. I thought I would share! It was about ~$5 cost. If you end up doing any, share them with us here! 

Also, Nikolai - oh my. 

  

  

  

Is that $5 for the app? or $5 per generation?

I'm on a free trial of the app, and it was about 5 bucks to generate 100 images. I think about $3 and it was 50 images. 

After my free trial of the app ends, it switches to paid. but there may be a way to do it a la carte and not have to do a yearly subscription. I haven't looked that closely yet.

ah okay. I have a Dall-e unpaid teir which lets me generate based on tokens, you get 4 images based on your text based description. I haven't tried lensa yet.

I might do another pack for Seven. I like the actor for him, but I don't like many of the photoshoots that the actor does. He usually looks kinda goofy - which isn't quite the vibe I want for an avatar. So if I upload another pack of stock images and purchase 100 new "magic avatars" that would be another $5.

yeah I have the same problem. Most of all Luka's photos have his cello. While love that in Luka that is very not Nox.

I keep seeing lensa everywhere at the minute! Nik's images are super cool.

Lensa is so hawt right now.

A few lessons: 

You need to add between 10-20 stock images for the AI to use. If you can get 20, the results are better. 
The images should be high resolution and cropped to be close-up. 
If you add stock images in mostly the same clothing, you get avatars wearing that clothing design (see below). If you want a variety of clothing, upload images with diverse outfits.
Same thing with facial expressions.


Here are some of my faves from Phillip. 

 

 

  

 

Alright lets try that again.
