Create and Animate AI Characters with Vidu
Design an original character in Vidu by starting from a prompt or visual idea, then refine the look, outfit, and style until it fits your project. Save references so the same character can be reused across scenes, videos, and future iterations.
Character Creator vs Character Generator
A Vidu character creator is built for shaping a reusable character from a prompt or visual reference, then refining identity, outfit, and style for scenes and videos. A generic character generator is usually better for quick one-off ideas, but it gives less control over consistency when you need the same character to carry across multiple outputs.
| Decision Area | Vidu Reference to Video | Manual Or Generic Workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Reference handling | Use up to multiple references to guide face, clothing, and style direction | Usually relies on a single prompt with fewer visual anchors |
| Style refinement | Tighten the character through prompt edits and visual feedback before export | Style changes can feel broader and less predictable from one result to the next |
| Scene continuity | Designed to keep one character recognizable in different video moments | May vary the character enough that continuity needs extra manual correction |
What Is a Character Creator in AI?
A character creator focuses on design. It helps define a character through role, style, clothing, expression, and visual world. In Vidu, you can maintain a consistent character identity across scenes, use visual continuity checks to keep the design steady as the project grows, and refine details as your scenes evolve.
Character Design Criteria
Compare the qualities that make a character concept feel consistent, expressive, and ready for different scenes. Each tab highlights a different lens for judging whether the design supports your creative goals and long term reuse, including how well it holds up for scene continuity.
Identity Signals
Strong character concepts show clear facial structure, wardrobe cues, and silhouette details that help preserve recognition across varied scenes. This matters most when the design must stay familiar while the setting changes.
How to Use the Character Creator
Add Reference Images
Click +Reference and upload 1 to 7 images of your character, using your own files, the RefHu library, or references you created yourself.
Set Prompt and Options
Describe what the character or object should do, then choose settings such as resolution, aspect ratio, model, duration, generation mode, audio, and motion level.
Create and Download
Click Create, wait for the video to finish, then preview the result and download it to your device if it looks right. If the clip becomes a base for another scene, outline the next sequence first and plan style and motion changes from the original result so each shot keeps your character’s role, actions, and setting clear.
Character Design Comparison
Compare character directions by reviewing silhouette, facial identity, outfit logic, style consistency, and whether the design can return clearly in future scenes.
Each example highlights a different checkpoint in the character creation process, so the preview shows how the workflow changes from one step to the next without repeating the same feature list.
Practical Use Cases for Character Creator
Use character creator when you need to turn an idea into a clear starting point quickly, especially for concept work, storytelling, or early visual planning. It works especially well when you want to shape a character into a more complete visual direction and add text to speech to the process.
