Let’s explain How to create your own photos based on photoswhether they are yours to look like you as photos of another person. To do so we will propose different tools of artificial intelligencebecause you have several possibilities.

We are going to start the article explaining what you can do exactly and the things you should take into account for Choose the type of dollsome tips that you will be able to use in several tools. And then we will tell you how to do them with three of them.

First, think about the design you want

AI will be able to do All types of doll stylebut to have the best results you will have to specify what you want to use. And this requires an imagination exercise.

You will be able to create Action dolls with your faceand you will also be able make a funko from your photo. These are two possibilities that we have already explored in Basics, but there are many more possibilities. You can ask you to make a Lego doll or a playmovil, it can be a stuffed animal, a Barbie, a troll doll.

Basically, you will be able to ask the AI to turn your photo into a doll of any brand that looks recognizable. You will only have to tell him the brand, and then the AI will generate it.

You can also make generic dollsyou can ask for a rag doll without more, or an action doll. They are totally valid styles, you can ask for dolls based on the materials you want to have, to be a rag doll or made with a sack, or even with fruits.

You can also describe accessories In addition to the type of doll. You can ask for a box, you can Choose the text and colors of the boxthe accessories you want to include, everything. Do not be afraid to experiment, because the possibilities are endless.

You must know the limitations

You must take into account a couple of limitations with which you can find yourself. The first is that Not all AIs will have good results. There are some more advanced than others in matters such as the recognition of details of the faces in the photos, and that is why the results it offers can look more or less.

In addition to this, Not all types of doll will look likeor at least not the first. Here, my recommendation is that if the first result does not convince you, try again, or to specify what you need to AI as an answer in the conversation.

Besides, AI can refuse to make certain models of doll, because there may be copyright restrictions. In these cases, you can try not to explicitly mention the brand that is giving you problems, and give some detour describing the type of doll that is and how you want it. Mention the name without the brand, or mention the type of doll.

Another limitation that you must take into account is that This function will be paid in many AI. We are going to mention the best free, but you should know that many others will require you to pay a subscription in exchange for allowing you to make creations based on photos.

Prompt

To convert a photo into a specific doll or a figure, you first have to attach the reference photo. When charged in the writing field, then you have to add a Prompt describing what you want. For example:

You can also enter a little more in detail, with a prompt similar to this:

I reimagine this photo as a Funko figure inside its box. That the name in the box is “Yúbal Fernández”, and has a “Xataka Special Edition” sticker.
