Anime Character Design and Animation: A Stable Diffusion, Photoshop and After Effects Tutorial | Pt1
Ever wanted to make and animate an anime character? Well now you can! In this 2 part tutorial I'll show you how I use Stable Diffusion & Automatic1111 to source the foundation of an anime character. Then I'll show the process of taking that image into Photoshop, refining it, taking it back into Automatic1111s img2img for inpainting.
You'll see the entire process of refinement, using a variety of Photoshops tools, until we have both a character and a background we're happy to take into After Effects for animation.
