1. Access Character Selection
Go to the ‘Cast your character’ tab in any of your existing projects, and click on one of the characters extracted automatically by Shai to start creating your own character.
2. Open Character Creation
To start ‘casting’ your character click on a character box like the above, and a pop-up will open. Here click on the + sign to start adding your custom character.
3. Create Your Custom Character
In the new ‘casting editor’ window entering as many information as possible using the fields provided by Shai. Note that you do not have to fill in all the information; however, providing in-depth information will make it more likely to achieve consistent AI characters from shot to shot.
PRO TIP:
Once you are done with prompting, click on ‘Create casting option’.
Once you are done with the information, click on ‘Create’.
4. Finalize Your Character
Now your character will load, it might take a few seconds. Once the character is loaded, make sure to select it, then give it a name (very important!) and a name that stays consistent in your story. Then hit save on the bottom right of the pop-up.
NOTE: The characters created are in black and white sketches, but if you have selected a different images style for your storyboard, the character will reflect the style selected from you, no worries!
5. Complete Your Cast
Repeat this process for all the characters in your story.
