The first AI apps on the mobile I remember were some fun apps creating from an given image of you, different scenario pictures like a funny background. The makers charged quite some money for like 5 custom images. However with Flux LoRA there is a even better outcome for less money possible.
Flux is the image generator model by German AI company Black-Forest-Labs and is at the moment the hottest and best image generator for photo realistic images. The image generator itself can be easily for free on their website.
To achieve custom pictures of us we need to go a step further and train the model. This is not complicated and cost only 2$. I use the AI workspace fal.ai for this where you can work with many different model – and also Flux and Flux SoRA.
Step 1: train the model
Go to: https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/flux-lora-fast-training
You will see the form pictured above. Add face shots, selfies, close up pictures of you into the uploader. I used about 25 pictures of me. Then select a “Trigger Word” – to reference the training data in your future prompt. I simply use my name “Erich” as the trigger word. Then let the training start – it will last around 1 minute to finish.
Step 2: Run the model with your trigger word
To create an image prompt based on the trained data with the Flux SoRA model simply klick on the Run button of the training form:
Or you can also directly chose the model prompt interface: https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/flux-lora/playground
Enter your prompt referencing the “Trigger word” you have set before and let the magic happen. I generated some examples using very simple 1 line prompts:
The business picture is really great and it looks very much like me when in use in small scale. When getting closer you can see blurry areas somehow. The 2nd picture was to put me to Oktoberfest with interesting result being put twice into the picture 🙂 The black t-shirt and the yellow backbag is actually taken from one of my training pictures. Overall I am quite happy with the outcomes and with some more detailed prompts, you definitely will get even better results. Total costs ~2$.
Advanced prompt examples
Here are some more examples I generated today with a more advanced promoting:
erich is captured mid-speech. His expressive face, adorned with a salt-and-pepper beard and mustache, is animated as he gestures with his left hand. He is holding a black microphone in his right hand, speaking passionately. The man is wearing a dark, textured shirt with unique, slightly shimmering patterns, and a green lanyard with multiple badges and logos hanging around his neck. The lanyard features the "Autodesk" and "V-Ray" logos prominently. Behind him, there is a blurred background with a white banner containing logos and text, indicating a professional or conference setting. The overall scene is vibrant and dynamic, capturing the energy of a live presentation.
