There’s an exciting trend sweeping across social media where people transform their pictures into AI action figures using ChatGPT. This blog will guide you through the process of creating your very own action figures in various styles, including Barbie doll, hyper-realistic, and cartoon claymation. Let’s dive into how you can turn a simple photo into a fun collectible!
Getting Started with ChatGPT
To jump into this fun project, the first step is to go to chatgpt.com on your computer. If you’re using your phone, make sure to download the ChatGPT app. Once you’re in, you’ll need to type out a specific prompt. I’ll provide the exact prompts for different styles throughout the blog.
Creating Your First Action Figure
Let’s kick things off with creating a realistic action figure in the Barbie doll style. Here’s how to do it:
- Start by uploading a photo of yourself or the person you wish to transform.
- Use the following prompt: “Create a realistic action figure Barbie doll style of the person in this photo. The doll should be a full body figure displayed in the original plastic box packaging. At the top of the box, include the name of the toy. Underneath, there should be a subheadline that says ‘author’ (this can be the profession). In the packaging next to the figure, include accessories such as a pen, computer, and coffee cup.”
Uploading Your Photo
After you’ve typed in the prompt, you’ll want to press the plus sign to upload a photo from your computer. Once the photo is uploaded, make sure the prompt is aligned with it, and then press send. If you’re using the free version of ChatGPT, you can generate images a limited number of times per day. Upgrading to the paid version allows for unlimited usage for $20 a month.
Comparing Styles
Once your image is generated, you’ll see a before and after comparison. Click on the generated image, and you can download it directly to your computer. Now, let’s try another style!
Hyper-Realistic Action Figures
This time, we’ll create a hyper-realistic action figure. Use the following prompt:
- “Create a realistic action figure of a female teacher named Michelle. The figure is packaged in a clear plastic and cardboard box that says ‘TEACHER’ at the top and ‘MICHELLE’ at the bottom. The figure is standing in a neutral pose, smiling. Add accessories like a stack of books, a whiteboard with markers, a red pen, and a coffee cup. The background should be a chalkboard with equations and doodles. Outfit should include a gray cardigan and slacks.”
Final Style: Cartoon Claymation
For the last style, let’s create a cartoon-style claymation action figure. Here’s the prompt to use:
- “Create a cartoon-style, claymation-inspired action figure of a person named Joe, with the title ‘Chief of Staff’ written below the name on cardboard packaging. The figure is sealed in a clear plastic blister pack on a tan cardboard background. Outfit includes a blue hoodie, light blue jeans, and white sneakers. Include accessories such as a silver Apple laptop, a jar of pickles, a cup of coffee, and a yellow pencil.”
