I previously wrote a casual article about Nano-Banana: Creating Figurine Images and Videos! I didn’t expect it to become so popular, and I was quite surprised.
This proves that this thing is indeed super popular, with traffic even spilling over to someone like me who usually gets only a few dozen reads.
However, others have already played with the fun aspects. If I go and play with it now, it feels a bit like copying.
Today, I suddenly had an idea: Every boy has a superhero dream. Can I turn myself into a superhero, then create a peripheral—figurine, and finally make a video?
SuperMan->SuperMe
Let’s get started. Open AIStudio and select Chat.
Then upload a photo and input the prompt.
Dress this man in a superhero costume, change his hairstyle to that of a superhero, while keeping his facial features and pose unchanged.
Soon, the superhero costume was on.
This hairstyle, this color scheme, this cape, plus underwear worn outside, while it may not be 100% accurate, it’s at least 90% there. Anyone can tell this is a superhero look.
However, this superhero’s hairstyle and style seem a bit retro, and the colors are a bit bright. I prefer the Superman from the DC movies.
So, I provided a reference image.
Then I uploaded both images at the same time
Prompt: Change the man wearing a tactical vest and tie into a superhero costume and hairstyle, strictly referencing the provided Superman image for the replacement, while keeping the man’s facial features!
Then I got the following image.
Actually, I generated many images, but I was quite satisfied with this one.
As we all know, Superman’s disguise on Earth is as a reporter. He usually just takes off his suit and shirt and flies away.
Now we are doing the opposite, taking off the superhero costume, and underneath is a shirt, instantly turning into an office worker. Additionally, I’ll give him a poor man’s three-piece set including an iWatch⌚️.
Now that I have the photo, the next step is to create a figurine.
Turn this photo into a character figure. Behind it, place a box with the character’s image printed on it, and a computer showing the Blender modeling process on its screen. In front of the box, add a round plastic base with the character figure standing on it. Set the scene indoors if possible.
The effect is good, except for the tight pants, which are a bit restrictive😄!
Next, I’ll turn this figurine image into a video.
Click on Generate Media in Google AIStudio
Then select Veo.
Upload the image and input the prompt “A pair of hands picking up the figurine on the table, slightly rotating it.”
After waiting for a few seconds, you can see the video.
Let’s get a close-up shot.
Alright, the transformation is complete.
Now I can start spreading rumors: “DC Comics has released an Asian version of Superman, the figurine has been launched, and I have it in hand, with video as proof.”
Completing this set was very easy.
As long as you can access Google, this entire process can be completed at zero cost. No third-party software, no points needed, no recharge required.
This production idea can also be applied to other characters.
Finally, I hope you have fun!
By the way, give a thumbs up 👍.
Let your good friends know you are reading an amazing article😄.
