Course Details

Lesson 1: Training Visual Styles & Worlds

Master the foundational skills needed to create a cohesive visual world, along with characters that remain recognizable and controllable across different scenes. This lesson emphasizes both style training and character development through structured data and visual planning.

Visual Style Development

  • Learn the core principles of creating a consistent visual language

  • Build and organize datasets for different aesthetics (e.g., cinematic, painterly, illustrated)

  • Understand the importance of structure, lighting, texture, and composition

  • Optimize parameters to achieve clarity, creativity, and style fidelity

  • Evaluate and refine outputs to ensure production-level consistency

Character Consistency & Design

  • Prepare datasets that capture facial features, body shape, and expressions

  • Maintain identity across multiple viewpoints, lighting setups, and environments

  • Tag and organize data to control attributes like hairstyle, clothing, and age

  • Ensure characters remain recognizable even in dynamic or complex scenes

  • Use pose and expression guides to influence movement and attitude

Lesson 2: Training Characters for Consistency & Control

Turn your trained models into narrative-ready assets by integrating them into a polished creative workflow. This lesson focuses on scene composition, targeted prompting, and refinement techniques for high-impact storytelling and presentation.

Scene Integration Workflow

  • Insert characters and styles into complex scenes with visual coherence

  • Adapt to varied environments while maintaining character identity

  • Refine lighting, shadows, and visual alignment to match context

  • Combine multiple elements without losing clarity or control

Creative Prompting & Casting Techniques

  • Direct character behavior, roles, and emotional tone using structured prompts

  • Adjust features, outfits, and gestures through carefully layered language

  • Build multi-scene narratives with recurring characters and evolving visuals

  • Explore casting techniques to reuse models in different roles and situations

Advanced Editing & Refinement

  • Use inpainting for corrections, insertions, or scene tweaks

  • Apply detailed control for positioning, interaction, and spatial logic

  • Expand or reshape visual environments with guided adjustments

  • Fine-tune final outputs for presentation, storytelling, or client delivery
