3. Generate an anime image in PicMa studio
First, prepare a high-quality anime image that will serve as the base of your video.
- Go to the PicMa studio GPT-Image 2 page.
- Enter a description of your ideal character (e.g., Create a delicate vertical anime illustration of a young fox-eared girl standing in profile on a sunlit old-fashioned shopping street, looking back over her shoulder with a soft melancholic smile. She has very long silver-white hair with straight bangs, pale skin, gentle pink eyes, exactly 2 large fluffy animal ears, and exactly 1 large fluffy white tail visible at the lower right. Dress her in an ornate dusty rose pink kimono with layered lace trim, embroidered floral brocade, a wide tied obi bow at the back, and dangling tassel ornaments. Add an elaborate hairpiece on the right side of her head: exactly 3 prominent flowers, a metallic leaf-and-jewel ornament, long chains, purple tassels, and a translucent ribbon bow, plus a small round hat or halo-like cap behind the ears. Set the scene in a nostalgic Japanese-European market lane with warm morning backlight, cobblestone walkway, wooden storefronts, leafy trees overhead, and a soft blue sky with scattered clouds. Include exactly 2 vintage street lamps on the left, one tall black lantern and one smaller glowing lantern, plus 1 oval hanging shop sign that reads owa days with a small paw print beneath it. Show background pedestrians in muted kimono-like clothing walking away, softly blurred and not competing with the main character. Place large blooming flowers in the lower left foreground, including pale pink and lavender blossoms. Use highly detailed linework, romantic pastel colors, luminous rim light through the hair, intricate fabric patterns, shallow depth of field, dreamy watercolor-and-ink anime rendering, vertical 9:16 composition, no modern objects, no watermark, no extra readable text beyond the shop sign.).
- Press the generate button and download the base anime image.
Using PicMa studio's advanced image AI engine, "GPT-Image 2", you can create beautiful, flawless anime illustrations in an instant, even with short prompts.
4. Transform the anime into a realistic photo using GPT-Image 2
Next, convert the anime image you created into a realistic, photo-like image.
- Continue using the GPT-Image 2 image upload feature and load the anime image you just generated.
- Add elements like "photorealistic, realistic person photo, portrait" to the prompt and generate.
- You'll get a high-quality image that looks like a real person, while maintaining the composition and features of the anime version.
Having both an anime and a realistic version of the image is the key to creating a beautiful transformation AI video.
5. Create the transformation video with "Frame-to-Video"
Once you have your materials, it's time for the video (animation) creation process.
- Go to the seedance 2.0 video generation page.
- Select the "Frame-to-Video" feature. Set the "anime image" as the first frame and the "realistic photo" as the final frame.
- Adjust the speed of the transformation and other effects, then start generation.
