👉 Creating a Disney-Style 3D Animated Character

In this Tutorial, we will explore how to create your very own Disney-style 3D animated character using a couple of free AI Tools. With these tools, you can bring your character to life and even animate it. So, let's dive right in!

2.1 Using Styla AI

Styla AI is the tool we will use to create our 3D animated character. Follow the steps below to get started:

2.1.1 Importing the Image

Start by importing the image you want to use for your character. Simply click on "New Project" and give your project a title. Then, import the image you want to use.

2.1.2 Describing the Image

Next, you will describe how the image looks like. If you want a more accurate description, you can use the "Auto Prompt" option provided by Styla AI. This option allows the AI to analyze the image and generate a description for you.

2.1.3 Selecting the Style

Now, it's time to select the style you want for your character. Styla AI offers various styles, but for a Disney-style character, choose the "3D Illustration Innocent Cutie" style.

2.1.4 Stylizing the Image

Click on "Stylize" to apply the selected style to your image. Styla AI will generate a 3D illustration of your character based on the image and style chosen.

2.1.5 Modifying the Prompt

If the generated image doesn't exactly match your character, you can modify the prompt to get better results. Adjust the prompt according to your character's features and style preferences.

2.1.6 Generating Variations

You can generate multiple variations of your character by playing around with different prompts and styles. This allows you to have different versions of your character for various scenes or animations.

2.2 Exporting the Image

Once you are satisfied with the generated image, you can export it. Styla AI provides options to export the image as a PNG or JPEG. Choose the appropriate format based on your needs.

👉 Animating the Character

Now that we have our Disney-style 3D animated character, it's time to bring it to life through animation.

3.1 Using TheId

TheId is a powerful tool that allows you to animate your custom character. Follow the steps below to animate your character:

3.1.1 Creating a Video

Start by visiting the TheId website and log in to your account. Once logged in, click on "Create Video" to open the interface.

3.1.2 Uploading the Custom Character

In TheId interface, choose the option to use your custom character. Upload the image of your character that you generated using Styla AI.

3.1.3 Adding Audio

To add audio to your animated character, you have two options. You can either upload a custom audio Recording or use one of the Text-to-Speech options provided by TheId. Choose the method that suits your needs.

3.1.4 Generating the Video

Once you have uploaded the audio, click on "Generate Video" to start the animation process. TheId will combine the audio with your character and create a video with subtle movements and emotions.

👉 Editing the Video

After generating the video with the animated character, you may want to edit it further, such as changing the backdrop. Here's how you can do it using Premier Pro:

4.1 Changing the Backdrop

To change the backdrop, you can search for a suitable image or video online. Download the desired backdrop and import it into your video editing software.

4.2 Using Premier Pro

In Premier Pro, import the video of your animated character and Scale it to fit the scene. Use the Ultra Key effect to remove the green screen background. Then, Blend your character into the new backdrop.
