See the guy in the suit? He looks like me, right!?

Here’s how I created him in 4 simple steps*:

  1. I’ve fed my picture to ChatGPT and asked it to turn it into a cartoon style version.
  2. I then uploaded the generated image to Hailuo AI image to video generator and created short video clips for different movements and expressions.

    Now, I could have asked ChatGPT to develop these, but that would have gotten me all kinds of different looking avatars. Not what I needed.

    So, instead, I created short video clips to keep the looks of my avatar consistent.

    Please note: You may want to create an extra Gmail address for Hailuo (owned by MiniMax) as this tool can only be accessed through Gmail.
  3. I then uploaded the videos to Ezgif video to PNG converter to extract the images I wanted.
  4. Finally, I uploaded the images to Big JPG, an AI image enlarger, to improve the quality and did a few touch ups in Photoshop.

I think this is pretty cool. As it allows you to create avatars that can do anything you like and use them in any way you want.

Think: your website, explainer videos, brochures, newsletters, you name it.

Hope this helps!
