Designing Characters With AI
You can use AI to design new characters — what they look like, what they wear, what their world is like.
Tell AI: 'Design a hero who is half-cat, half-wizard. Give her a name and a magic power.' AI does it.
Three things AI is good at for character design
- Coming up with creative looks
- Suggesting fun powers
- Mixing things you wouldn't think to mix
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: AI is a brainstorm partner for designing characters. The character is still yours.
