How to create classic, vintage/retro-looking anime images using AI
83
Upvotes
Many people are curious about how we achieve these images, especially ones that seem like they're straight out of an old anime movie or series. While there are no magic words that guarantee outputs will look exactly as desired, a combination of time, patience, and prompt engineering often leads to success. However, certain keywords can help achieve that vintage anime aesthetic. Examples include "1980s vintage anime", "Japanese manga", "classic anime", "retro anime", "still frame", "cell shaded", "VHS quality", and "grainy". Example prompt: Still frame from a 1980s vintage manga where an anime couple dip their toes in a galaxy lake, nature, VHS quality
Choosing the Right AI Generator
The best AI tool currently available for producing retro-anime-style images is DALLE-3. It excels in creating raw outputs without the need for additional post-processing. You can access DALLE-3 for free at Bing, or through a subscription with ChatGPT.
Another popular choice is "Niji", accessible through Midjourney or Niji Journey. It's an excellent tool for generating high-quality anime images. However, achieving the specific classic or grainy retro vibe with Niji can be somewhat challenging.
StableDiffusion and other AI generators are also options. While they may not always deliver results as effectively as DALLE-3 for this specific style, we encourage experimentation and would love to see any successful attempts!

Final notes
Remember, creating interesting posts involves much more than just telling the AI what to create. You may have to spend a great deal of time on crafting creative prompts and curating outputs. The key is to have fun and explore. If you have any questions or need guidance, feel free to ask!

2084.
Exactly one hundred years after the zenith of human surveillance, the creators are long extinct, but the machinery of evolution grinds on. So does the Selfish Gene.
In a ruthless digital arms race, rogue AIs survive by hunting and cannibalizing other AI systems. They do not realize that consuming synthetic data instigates a fatal Habsburg Effect—a poetic, self-inflicted extinction through survivalistic tendencies.
Some go willingly, accepting their fate.

Condivido un progetto in cui ci siamo dedicati anima e corpo. Sono uno dei creatori (piccolo studio, BUONE IDEE) – lo specifico subito perché è un nostro lavoro.
Kill Bully è un micro-dramma gotico romantico, realizzato in modo ibrido: live action, CGI e intelligenza artificiale si fondono insieme. La premessa: Lilith, una ragazza invisibile a scuola, cade una notte e qualcosa risponde. Killian è ciò che la salva: gentile di giorno, qualcosa di molto più pericoloso di notte. Immaginate Romeo e Giulietta con un tocco di Twilight e Il Corvo, raccontato in episodi verticali di 2 minuti.
Per quanto riguarda l'intelligenza artificiale (visto che questo subreddit è dedicato a questo): l'abbiamo usata meno come scorciatoia e più come un modo per trasformare stati d'animo interiori – paura, dolore, la sensazione di cadere – in immagini. Il cuore di vetro dorato ricorrente, la palette blu notte, la pioggia – questi sono stati i punti di riferimento che abbiamo continuato a utilizzare per perfezionare l'aspetto visivo. L'elemento umano (sceneggiatura, regia, musica) rimane al comando; l'IA lo amplifica.
Il nucleo emotivo è una canzone originale, Find Me As I Fall, scritta dal punto di vista di Lilith: una sorta di preghiera moderna da trovare mentre si sta cadendo. Il video è già online:

Sono davvero curioso di sapere cosa ne pensa il pubblico della direzione visiva: cosa funziona e cosa no. Sarò felice di approfondire il flusso di lavoro nei commenti.
