 Hello everybody, welcome back to another mid-journey tutorial. In this one, I'm going to show you how to create consistent characters and I'm going to show you how to make it even if you want it to look like a celebrity or if you have an image of yourself. You can not only create consistent characters, you can create them based on certain people, yourself included. I know you've probably heard this before, but this is absolutely crazy. I'm going to show you examples to start and then I'm going to show you how to do it. So here's some first step here. I'm just going to see you. I've got Elon Musk on the left, Taylor Swift on the right and we're going to go with Taylor Swift. The first thing I did is I created some steampunk females looking at the camera. Click on it and I like this bottom left one. So that's the style I'm going to go with and then I ran a couple. So here's just a few examples. I just ran them and then I picked ones that were good out of each of them. So this was a good one. This was a good one. This was a good one. And this was a good one. Now I realize the faces are not quite consistent yet. Don't worry. I'm going to show you some magic. So I'm going to show you how to do it. I'm going to show you quick and then I'm going to show you step by step. So watch this. I'm just going to right click on this image. This is how good this is. I'm going to go to the app and I'm going to in swap that image. And while that one processes, I'm going to right click on her face and I'm going to in swap her. And then I'm going to go to the third one here. I'm going to right click on her face and I'm going to in swap her. And then I'm going to click on the final one. I'm going to right click on her face and I'm going to in swap her. Now watch this. Remember the original images. This is just a standard stock steampunkie image. Look at this, tell me and be honest with me if this isn't what you wanna see. So here we go, here's the first one. That looks a lot like Taylor Swift, but again, we're going for consistency. Does look like her though. That does look like Taylor Swift as well, running away, holy smokes, these are pretty consistent. Let's click on this one. Wow, that looks like her too. And for final effect, that looks like her too. So this is the best and best way to make consistent swaps and consistent faces in mid-journey. Now I'm gonna show you how to do this step by step. All right, welcome back. So if these didn't convince you, I don't know what's going through. But anyways, let's create some consistent characters. And in this one, we're gonna use Elon Musk, but before we get started, we have some housekeeping to do. So let's go through it step by step. On the left side, in Discord, you need to go to the bottom for your first step and you gotta click on this plus sign to add a server. We're gonna create our own server that are gonna have both bots in it. So I've clicked on the plus sign, I click on create my own. It's for me and my friends. I don't have friends, but if I did, they would be invited. And in this one, I'm just gonna call this one consistent Elon. So we're gonna use Elon Musk as a warrior, let's go. I'm gonna click on create and presto. Now let's go to the top and you're gonna see that I've got a new consistent Elon server. There I am as the only person in it. The next step is you wanna go to the left side here and we're gonna look for the mid-journey bot or the mid-journey server. So you'll see this little sailboat. That's what we want. Click on the sailboat. And then when you do that, you're gonna get a whole bunch of stuff that's gonna be a little overwhelming. Don't worry. All you gotta do is go to the right side here and you'll see mid-journey bot. Left click on that and then you can see add to server. We're going to add this bot to the server. So just go ahead and accept that and then select a server. This is where it gets fun. You just click on the dropdown and then find the server that you just created. So the one I just made is called consistent Elon. And I'm gonna go ahead and add to consistent Elon and I'm gonna let it do its thing because I trust it. Okay, good. All right, Captcha, I am human. There we go. So here we go. Now let's go back into that server, see where we're at. Okay, consistent Elon. Okay, job done. Mid-journey bot is in there but we've got one more step to go. All right, the next step is a good one. All you need to do is click on this link below. Now I can't really, you can't really click on my video obviously but I'm going to put the link in the description in the YouTube description. So you can just go into my description, copy and paste it. So I'm just gonna click on it and presto. It's now going to ask me to install Insightface. This is open source free software. Please keep that in mind. This is no charge on any of this. So here we go. I'm gonna go ahead and accept that and I'm going to select my server. I'm also going to add it to consistent. Oh, that's not the right one. I'm gonna add it to consistent Elon, pardon me. And then I'm going to click continue. I'm gonna go ahead and let it do its thing and then I'm going to authorize it. Again, capturing me. I am a human. I swear to God and bang, authorized. Let's take a look at this. Up here on the top right, we've got Insightface swap and we've got mid-journey bot. Now let's get to the next step. All right, so let's go to the next step. Now there are two ways to do this. There's a quick and easy way and that's if you only want to do it with one face or with one person. So if you want a consistent character of you or of a celebrity or of someone you found on the internet, this is the first way is the easiest way and then I'm gonna show you a second way which has a little bit more to it but they're both quite easy. So what you wanna do is go forward slash save ID. This is a new command that's enabled by adding Insightface swap and then I'm gonna hit enter. When I do that, you see two things. We can drag and drop an image. So this is going to be the consistent face that we're going for. So this is what we're going for and then we're gonna, you see it says ID name so we can name it. I'm gonna go to my finder and in this case we're going with Elon Musk and I've got a good picture of him just staring at the camera and I'm gonna drag and drop it and presto. I'm now going to call this Elon one just so that in case I have any other one. So there we go. I've ID named it Elon one. I hit enter. Now watch this. ID name Elon one created. Now let's go ahead and generate some warriors and then I'm gonna show you how to face swap on. So here we go. I'm gonna go forward slash imagine and I'm gonna go Nordic male warrior looking mean, I don't know portrait because I want it to be a pretty close shot portrait shot looking at camera and then hit enter. I'm gonna run this and when it's done I'm gonna come back and show you what we got. All right, welcome back. So it ran it and here are four candidate images. These are all fantastic images as mid journey does but I'm gonna go with the second one because the head and the face is the largest in it and I just wanna show you the technique. I don't need to show you how to do dialing it in with exact colors and all that stuff. So let me go ahead and I'm gonna up sample or upscale the second one here. Click on that presto. It should be done in a few seconds and now we've got ourself an image. I'm gonna right click on the image and I'm going to save it to the desktop and I'm gonna call this one. Well, I'm just gonna call this. All right, there we go. I'm gonna call it Nordic. Oops, Nordic one. Okay, good. So I just have an extra copy just in case I mess it up and something goes wrong. Now watch this. I'm gonna right click on the image. I'm going to go to apps. I'm gonna go to in swapper and watch what happens. That is Elon Musk as a Nordic warrior. Now we want to create consistent images, right? That's kind of what we're doing. But I showed you how to do the face swap. Now we wanna have this warrior with Elon's face doing things, you know, different things like reading a book and holding a sword and sitting on a rock and all that stuff. So let me show you the next step. All right, so the next step is I'm gonna go back to my finder or my explorer and I'm gonna grab this Nordic one image and I'm just gonna drag and drop it in and hit enter. When I do that, I'm now going to right click on his face and I'm just gonna go ahead and copy that link. This is a very important part because now I'm gonna start making examples using that image as its base. So here we go. I'm gonna go forward slash imagine and then watch this. I'm gonna command V or control V and copy that link in. Then I'm gonna hit space bar and I'm gonna say holding a sword and then, well, watch this. I'll come back when it's done and then we'll go through a whole bunch of examples quickly. All right, everybody. So now let's see what we got. Here's the original image. Keep that in mind. This is what it looks like to start. Now, based on that technique I showed you, let's see the four candidate images. This top left one looks really, really good. The bottom right one looks really, really good but his sword appears to be broken in half. So that's kind of weird and then this bottom left one's good but a lot of his face is not showing. Keep in mind that that doesn't matter too much because we're gonna go ahead and swap in Elon's face but for this one, I'm gonna use the top left one. I'm going to upscale it. Now it's gonna go very quickly and again, remember we're creating consistent characters. So here's the face. Here's the original, a little closer. This one's the camera's a little further back. Oh, maybe his sword's broken and that one too. Well, whatever, you can't win them all. I'm gonna right click on this face here. I'm gonna go to apps and then I'm gonna go to in swapper and this is going to make Elon Musk with the lip. Okay, all right, he's got sword envy. Okay, that's not really a sword. That's more like a little dagger or something like that but that is how you create consistent characters. Now let's go ahead and do another one. So I'm gonna show you another technique forward slash imagine I'm gonna copy and paste in that image or that image link like we did last time but this time we're gonna go ahead and take the whole thing here. Nordic mail looking mean, let's just go with Nordic mail looking mean portrait shot, looking at camera. So we're gonna take the original, the entire original prompt, I'm gonna copy that in and then I'm gonna be like fighting a dragon. Okay, this may or may not work as good as the other version but I wanna show you both. I'm gonna hit enter, I'm gonna come back when it's done. Alrighty, welcome back. So here we go. So you know what, great images but again, I think the camera's a little too close for this type of image when you're fighting a dragon. So again, I'm gonna go ahead and upscale one of these. I think that the, I think the bottom top right one actually looks the closest. I'll upscale it, I'm gonna apply the same technique to it and then I'm gonna show you another one. We're gonna have him reading a book. So let's go to apps in Swapper and Presto. We're gonna have Elon Musk as another Nordic warrior. Okay, let's go ahead and run another one. So I'm gonna go forward slash imagine and then this one, maybe we're gonna go with I'm gonna copy and paste in the link. So let's go ahead and grab that original image link. So I'm gonna right click on it. I'm gonna copy that link and then we're gonna have this one. We're gonna have, it's not a closeup shot. Let's go with long shot fighting a bear and hit enter, come back and see what this one comes up with. All right, everybody, welcome back. So here's what it came up with. You know what? Not too bad. The top left one's pretty good. The bottom left one's pretty good but his face looks a little too narrow in that one. So again, the face isn't the most important part but if it doesn't look structurally the same, not so good. So I'm gonna upscale the first one. So I'm gonna click on upscale here, the U1 and also note for those of you that have really keen eyes, I had to switch it from portrait shot to wide shot because portrait shot was too up close and personal. So here we go. Let's click on this. So here's another image. Now, what do we do if we want that to be Elon Musk? Look at that dragon in the background. It's like some sort of dog dragon, whatever. Let's go ahead, right click on it, apps in Swapper. Here we go. This is going to Elon Musket and again, consistent characters although he does look a little cross-eyed in this one. Oh well, what are you gonna do? So now let me show you the final technique to do consistent character. Okay, so the final technique is you can go forward slash save ID and we've already got an Elon Musk version, right? So let's say we wanted a Taylor Swift one as well. So we wanna be able to swap in multiple characters. So we want consistent faces but we also wanna be able to mix in some different people. So I'm gonna drag and drop Taylor Swift in there and I'm gonna call her Taylor just like that. So what's happening now is we're creating an ID named Taylor. So if we go forward slash list ID, you're gonna see here, I'm gonna hit enter and you're gonna see that we have a Taylor and an Elon one. So let's go ahead and keep going. All right, awesome. So we're gonna go ahead now and I'm gonna show you how to do Taylor Swift versions but instead of creating the images in mid-journey and using insight face swap inside the app here I'm gonna show you another technique. I'm gonna go to my finder. I'm gonna drag and drop in images that I've already created. I'm gonna now hit enter. So I'll just show you the image. Okay, so that's the image. Now I want a consistent character out of her. Watch this. I'm gonna go forward slash swap ID and that's why we created the second ID Taylor. Now I hit enter and here we go. We can drop in an image and then we can, and then we'll watch this. I'm gonna drop in this image right here and then I can select the ID name that I want to use. So I want to use Taylor. Watch this. I'm gonna hit enter. This is crazy. This is Taylor Swift pretty much perfectly but how do we create consistent character? Well, let's drag in another image that I like. Here's the same kind of style of image. I'm gonna drag and drop this one in. I'm gonna hit enter so you can see it. Okay, we've got another style. Maybe this girl's doing diesel punk but we wanna have this one set up as Taylor Swift. Well, what do we do? Forward slash swap ID. Hit enter. Now I'm gonna grab that same image, drag and drop it in there. Type in Taylor and presto. You'll see. Do we have the same style? Come on. That's Taylor Swift, guys. I'm sorry to say it but that's pretty bloody incredible. Now let's do one more just for effect. I'm gonna go ahead and type in forward slash swap ID and then you know the drill. I'm gonna drag in this last one here. Put that here. I'm gonna use the word Taylor and hit enter and then I don't think that's the, oh, it's the same one I used at the beginning. Nevermind. Let's do, actually let's do one more. Forward slash swap ID, final one. I think it's this one that I haven't used. Put that in there and then I'm gonna type in Taylor and then bang, we have a consistent character if there ever was one. This is the way, guys. Thanks for watching.
