The Basics
What is ModelMaker?
ModelMaker is your personal AI trainer. Upload a set of images showing what you want to create—whether that's a character, place, style, or object—and ModelMaker will create a custom model that allows you to generate new images that match your vision.
What can I create?
You can create your own custom models based on four different training types:
Character: perfect for characters, portraits, and consistent faces. You can train on photos of yourself to create endless profile pictures in any style or setting imaginable.
Place: bring locations and environments to life. For example, train on photos of a cozy coffee shop to visualize it in different seasons, times of day, or even fantastical settings.
Style: capture your artistic style or visual aesthetic. Upload your artwork and let the AI learn your unique creative vibe - then apply it to anything you can imagine.
Object: focus on specific items or products. Train on your product photos to create marketing materials, product variations, or placement mockups.
