Configure Character Creator workflow nodes in Runway

Demo summary

The video demonstrates how to use LLM nodes to enhance character descriptions and image generation nodes to create consistent character sheets with T-poses and profile views in Runway.

Step-by-step

  1. Input a character description into the prompt node
  2. Feed the prompt into an LLM node with custom system instructions to enhance detail
  3. Generate the first character image to serve as the global foundational image reference
  4. Create neutral expression, full body, and close-up images using simple prompts
  5. Plug a reference chart into image slot two to define specific poses
  6. Generate the character in T-pose, right profile, and left profile views

Options

  • Use charts or pose images as references in image slot two

Watch out for

  • The LLM node must include rules for a full body, neutral, forward-facing pose with the whole face visible
  • The background must be described verbatim as a flat chroma green with no shadows

Tips

  • Use an LLM node to add detail and consistency rules to your initial character description
  • Set the first generated image as a global foundational reference to maintain character consistency
  • Using charts or pose images is a great way to get your character looking correct in distinct poses

Highlights

Using charts or pose images in general, is a great way to get your character looking
