Explore the application of ControlNet to character design in this comprehensive tutorial video. Learn about various ControlNet models, including OpenPose, Depth, Segmentation, Normal pass, Canny edge detect, HED, MLSD, and Scribble. Dive into pose editing techniques using OpenPose Editor and 3D posing in Blender. Master the art of combining multiple ControlNets, brainstorming designs, and refining character concepts through inpainting, photobashing, and compositional enhancements. Discover advanced techniques for matching color tones, adjusting values, and adding finishing touches like lighting, bloom, and god rays. Perfect for digital artists and concept designers looking to leverage AI-assisted tools in their creative workflow.
