Getting Started with ZenCreator
Create a Persona, keep it consistent across photos & video, and start posting today.
The Big Idea
ZenCreator is a studio in a browser. You'll generate photos and short videos, keep a single Persona consistent across everything, and ship content to your socials. Our native publishing and scheduling arrive in Version 2; until then, you'll export and post manually (workflow below).
TL;DR (10 minutes to first wins)
- Create your Persona face with AI Face Generation → pick a look you love.
- Lock identity using Face Swap (run last) or the combined Upscale + FaceSwap flow.
- Produce sets:
- Photo Shoot for multi-scenario images (office, café, vacation…).
- Generation by Reference to remake a shot you like with variations.
- Generation by Prompt for pure text-to-image.
- Video Generation to animate the hero still into short clips.
- Polish with Upscaler (choose a Safe Face mode when identity matters).
- Export and publish manually (guidelines below). Done.
Step 1 — Craft your Persona (identity you'll carry everywhere)
- Start in Face Generation. Use Surprise Me if you want inspiration, or set traits manually (gender, age, ethnos, hair, beard/makeup, etc.).
- Each run returns 1-4 portrait. Shortlist 1–2 "foundation" faces.
- Tip: Collect reference images (outfits, moods, locations). You'll use these in Generation by Ref and PhotoShoot.
Consistency rule: your Persona is a brand. Keep hair length/color, makeup level, and overall vibe stable across shoots unless you deliberately plan a change (new "season").
Step 2 — Lock identity (so every image looks like the same person)
- Generate your scenes first, then Face Swap last onto your Persona for pixel-level identity.
- If you already know the final face, save clicks with the Upscale + FaceSwap combined flow: it upscales and swaps in one pass—our near-best default for most pipelines.
- When you only need bigger images and face must not change, choose Upscaler → Basic Safe Face (fast) or Premium Safe Face (highest realism).
Step 3 — Pick the right generator for the job
- PhotoShoot — one run, many categories (office, café, sport…). Ideal for building a week of posts fast.
- Generation by Reference — upload a photo you like; get similar shots (pose, framing, lighting) with variations. Add LoRAs on SDXL if you want physique/styling control.
- Generation by Prompt — text-to-image (models: WAN realism or SDXL + LoRAs). Use when you want ideas from scratch.
- Carousel — turn a single photo into a swipeable set of angles and crops that feel cohesive.
- Video Generation — animate a still into a 5–10s clip.
- Kling 2.1 → most realistic; beauty/fashion/product hero shots.
- Kling 1.6 → fast, clean, reliable batches (5s/10s).
- WAN → edgier looks, looser motion.
Prompt for subtle, believable motion: "gentle breathing, soft eye blink, slow 3% dolly-in, hair barely moving, neutral film grade."
Keep negatives tight: flicker, ghosting, plastic skin, heavy sharpening, hair across eyes.
Step 4 — Polish with Upscaler (which mode?)
| Mode | When to use | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Safe Face | Fast render; face stays exactly as is | 2× resolution, minimal smoothing |
| Premium Safe Face | Best face fidelity, more realism | 2× resolution, refined details |
| Standard (no Safe Face) | Scene re-lighting, creative enhancement | Face may shift, style can change |
Workflow tip: If you're upscaling SDXL (photo-realism), use Premium Safe Face or your Persona might change.
Step 5 — Export & post (manual flow until V2 publishing)
- Select output: choose images/videos from your ZenCreator gallery.
- Download: export to your device.
- Upload to socials: Instagram, OnlyFans, Fansly, TikTok, X/Twitter.
- Schedule (optional): use a third-party tool (Later, Buffer, Hootsuite) for time-slot publishing.
FAQs
Q: Can I have multiple Personas? A: Yes. Organize them in folders or use naming conventions (e.g., "Persona_A", "Persona_B"). Just keep each identity consistent within its own content line.
Q: Do I need to Face Swap every image? A: Only if you want pixel-perfect identity lock. For looser creative work, skipping Face Swap is fine.
Q: Which model should I start with? A: WAN for photo-realistic content, SDXL + LoRAs if you need specific styling (fitness, fashion, cosplay).
Q: Can I edit the generated images? A: Yes. Export to your favorite editor (Photoshop, GIMP, Canva) for touch-ups, text overlays, or collages.
Q: What's the best content strategy? A: Check our guides for Dating Profiles, SFW Content, and NSFW Content.
