Glif (Alpha) - Make Your Own Tiny AI Powered Niche Image Generator Apps

I first heard about Glif via a YouTube video that talked about you might get entry to Flux Pro (the most recent ‘recreation changer AI’ generative picture mannequin) via the positioning without spending a dime.

Whereas I had a imprecise notion from the video of what Glif was, I wasn’t anticipating it to be really easy to get began with, and so good with my very first outcomes.

Glif is a straightforward to make use of, low-code platform for creating tiny AI-powered mills referred to as Glifs. Whereas that will not sound inspiring, what Glifs let you do is create a tiny app that niches right down to a particular sort of AI technology that the person modifies with their very own inputs.

One of the best ways to essentially perceive is with an instance.

My First Glif

I’ve not too long ago been utilizing VivaGo’s AI platform (free and limitless on the time of writing) to constantly generate full physique characters in a entrance dealing with T-Pose that I can rig as entrance dealing with characters in Cartoon Animator. Sadly it may be a bit hit and miss sustaining the T-Pose a part of my immediate.

After having heard about Glif and that free entry to Flux Professional, I made a decision to take my finest immediate from VivaGo, that constantly appeared to offer me a T-Posed/A-Posed character nearly each time, and take a look at it out with Glif.

I created a easy Glif that outputs any 2D cartoon character you request, already posed in a T-Pose/A-Pose in entrance of a impartial gray background (for straightforward background removing).

The person merely responds to 3 inputs:

Character is: Male, Feminine, Anthropomorphic Male, or Anthropomorphic Feminine?
Describe your character: (enter a brief description of the character).
Character type: Pixar, Anime, Flat Shade, Outlines and Flat Shade, Whiteboard, or Picture Realism?

As soon as they run the Glif a picture is generated of their character in a T-Pose/A-Pose with the palms of the arms dealing with ahead, legs barely aside, on a impartial grey background in 1024×1024 pixel decision.

I like to recommend upscaling the output to 4K (x4) after which utilizing a background remover earlier than utilizing the characters with Cartoon Animator.

You’ll be able to see some examples of characters generated under. Click the link to check out my character generator for your self (chances are you’ll want to join a free account to run it). You’re free to make use of any characters you generate nevertheless you want.

Character Samples generated with my Glif

If this seems to be attention-grabbing to you, Glif could make much more highly effective apps than this. Getting began is just not exhausting in any respect. There is not any coding concerned. You merely add blocks that do particular issues akin to ask the person for enter, or run considered one of a number of AI picture mills, and extra.

I had the fundamentals of my first Glif collectively in beneath an hour, and I barely learn any directions attempting to work it out. Strive making an identical Glif to mine with considered one of your favourite AI Picture prompts. You’ll be able to even remix my Glif to avoid wasting you constructing it your self.

On the time of writing Glif is at the moment in Alpha and utterly free to make use of, although you’re restricted to twenty app runs per day (your personal and different apps inclusive).

It is truly a whole lot of enjoyable when you get your fundamental Glif up and working, and your thoughts begins considering, how can I make this higher.
