In the ever-evolving world of gaming, character creation has become an art form. With advanced tools and techniques, gamers can now create characters that look incredibly realistic and consistent across various scenarios. This article explores how to achieve this using the character creation tools in Cyberpunk 2077 and FreePik AI Tools. This isn’t just limited to PC gamers either, as many consoles allow for screenshots to be taken too.
Step 1: Character Creation in Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 offers a robust character creation system that allows players to customize their avatars with a wide range of features. Start by designing your character, paying attention to details such as facial features, hairstyles, and clothing. The goal is to create a unique and consistent look that can be used in multiple scenarios.
Step 2: Capturing Images with Photo Mode
Once your character is ready, use the all-new photo mode in Cyberpunk 2077 and Shadowplay or whatever capture tool you use, to grab a video of you either circling the character, or static rotating the subject on the spot. Yes, in photo-mode, you can turn off all HUD elements for a clean look. Once done, from the video simply take various stills (as few as 5, or as many as 24). The more the better so the AI will have a comprehensive set of visuals to work with.
Step 3: Crafting in FreePiks
After capturing the images, the next step is to craft your character in FreePiks. FreePiks is a platform that offers a wide range of graphic resources, including vectors, photos, and PSD files. Use these resources to enhance your character’s appearance and ensure consistency across different scenarios. Using the character option (which costs 5000 credits per character by-the-way), you can then create as many images of your chosen one in any scenario you like. The possibilities are only as restricted as your imagination.
You will have to weed-out the ones that don’t look like you’re creation, but for the most part, when setting the strength option to around 50% you get some nice looking images.
