The Art Of Creating Realistic AI Images

AI image generation has significantly evolved, allowing users to create highly realistic images using models like Stable Diffusion and Flux. You can generate personalized AI art that features your likeness in various scenarios by training these models with your images.

Steps To Create Your Own Realistic AI Images

To start creating your superhero images, follow the step-by-step guide as under.

Setting Up Replicate

1. Visit Replicate’s website and sign up for an account. This platform allows you to rent GPUs to process AI models.


2. Click on the “Train” tab and choose “Create a new model” under the destination. Name your model (e.g., “MyAIModel”).

3. After logging in, search the Explore page for “Luca Taco.” Click on any model to access their profile and find the “AI Toolkit for Flux LoRA Training”.

4. Users are advised to enable these permissions as follows and save the token. You can copy this token for later use.

Executing the Model

Now, get back to LucaTaco tab and resume setting up in the training section as shown in the image below and follow the steps.

1. Select at least 12 images of yourself from different angles and with varied expressions. Rename and organize them into a zip file with captions that include your chosen trigger word (e.g., “photo of MyAIModel”).

2. On Replicate, upload the zip file in the designated area for image files. This will be used to train the model with your likeness.

3. Enter your Hugging Face token on Replicate. Set the number of training steps to 1,000 and leave other settings at default unless specified otherwise.

4. Click “Create Training” to begin the process. It may take around 25 minutes and cost approximately $2.10, but you can use a $10 credit if available.

5. Once training is complete, use the flux dev lora model to generate images by entering prompts that include your trigger word. Adjust settings like aspect ratio and output format as needed.

6. Remember, with the replicate coupon link attached in the beginning of the setting up training, you can create roughly around 84 images.
