Step by Step: Creating a Character with Character Turbo

Step 1: Description

Start by writing a clear description of your character.
Keep it visual and concrete. Follow this simple structure:
Subject (who they are), features (key details), outfit (what they wear).
Example: Young girl with long brown hair and bangs, wearing a yellow raincoat and boots.

Pro Tips: Be clear and specific

❌ Avoid long explanations or abstract descriptions
❌ Avoid metaphors or vague ideas
❌ Avoid negative phrasing
✅ Use simple, visual language
✅ Focus on what the character looks like.
✅ Clear prompts lead to better consistency.
If your prompt feels long or confusing, simplify it.

Step 2: Action

Add one clear action that describes how the character is positioned.
Pro Tip: For your first image, always use: standing, full body pose, smiling
This creates the best reference image for future consistency and the strongest base for Action Editor.

Step 3: Background

Add a background if you need one. Simple backgrounds work best.
Example: park in the background
Avoid busy scenes at this stage, they can make consistency harder later.
 
If you do not want any background:
❌ Avoid prompting: no background or transparent background
✅ Instead prompt: plain white background
and later press the dedicated button to download the image with a transparent background.

Step 4: Style

Choose the visual style that fits your story. Style options include:
Pick one style and stay consistent across your project.

Step 5: Aspect Ratio

Select the aspect ratio for your layout.
  • Default: 1:1 (square)

What to Do Next

Once your character is created use the Action Editor to place the same character into new scenes and poses.

If You Are Not Happy with the Result

That is normal, especially early on.
  • Regenerate same prompt
  • Adjust your description
  • Simplify details
Iteration is part of the process.
