How to Use in copainter

Change Poses with the AI Assistant

Load these images as reference images to quickly generate pose variations such as angle changes, limb adjustments, or mirroring. Since these are pose references, they can also be used when specifying male character poses.

Maintain Consistency with the Training Feature

(Enterprise Plan Only)
By specifying poses for trained models, you can achieve highly accurate pose control. Even poses difficult to express with the AI Assistant alone can be handled effectively with trained models. Using the Image Transformation AI often produces better results.

Improve Efficiency Using Line Art AI

Use these assets as rough drafts before applying the Line Art AI to speed up production. You can edit them in tools such as Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint, then apply the Line Art AI to handle complex compositions.

Change Poses with the Pose Transformation AI

These images can be used as input for the Pose Transformation feature. Simply upload a character image and a pose image to easily change the character’s pose.
