How Textoon Works

1. Textoon's Text Understanding

The system first analyzes your text description using advanced natural language processing to understand the character's features, including appearance, clothing, and accessories.

2. Character Shape Generation

Based on the parsed description, the system generates the basic character shape and structure using a specialized shape generation model.

3. Detail Synthesis

Fine details, colors, and textures are then added through a component-based synthesis process, ensuring each element matches the original description.

4. Animation Integration

Finally, the character is rigged for animation using Live2D format, enabling natural movements and expressions compatible with ARKit face tracking.

Write a character brief

A useful Textoon description starts with the character's recognizable features. Decide on the hairstyle, a small color palette, and the main clothing silhouette before adding accessories. These choices make it easier to judge whether the result matches your idea. A list of unrelated decorative details can obscure the feature that was meant to define the character.

Use the examples above as a way to study how a description is organized. Notice how the hair, eyes, top, skirt, and shoes are described as separate parts of a coherent outfit. Write your own brief around a different character concept rather than copying every detail. Keep the most important visual information near the beginning, where you can check it quickly during review.

Give each detail a job

For a character intended to appear beside a video, consider the small size at which the face and upper body will be seen. A clear hair shape and contrasting clothing may communicate more than a collection of tiny accessories. For a full-body concept, describe the relationship between the upper and lower outfit so that the overall silhouette feels intentional.

Explore distinct directions

A calm presenter

Try a character concept with a simple hairstyle, a restrained outfit, and one memorable accessory. The goal is an appearance that supports a conversation without distracting from it. Review the face at the size where you plan to display it, and check whether the eyes and mouth remain easy to read. This is a design exercise, not a guarantee of a finished presentation asset.

A playful story character

Start with a clear personality and express it through shape and color. A lively character might have a distinctive hair silhouette or a contrasting pair of shoes. Keep the outfit internally consistent, then compare how the result reflects the brief. If an important feature disappears among smaller details, simplify the description before adding more decoration.

A coordinated cast

Write separate briefs for characters who belong in the same story. Give them a shared visual rule, such as a related palette or similar clothing period, while varying a few recognizable features. Compare the results side by side for consistency. Maintain your own reference notes because a series of individual outputs should still be reviewed as a collection.

Check shape and movement

Inspect the still character before assessing an animated preview. Compare hair, facial features, outfit, and accessories against the brief, then look for awkward overlaps or unexpected changes in proportion. A visually appealing result may still miss a detail that matters to the character's identity. Record those differences so the next revision has a clear purpose.

When reviewing movement, watch the transition between neutral and expressive poses. Check whether the face remains recognizable and whether hair or clothing behaves consistently around the moving parts. Review more than one frame of the example. The demonstrations illustrate the project's direction; they do not guarantee that every input will produce the same range or quality of animation.

Keep the original description, selected images, and review notes together. Before using a result in another application, consult the current project resources for the supported output workflow and compatibility requirements. The demo may be temporarily unavailable, and a linked alternative tool has its own capabilities. Confirm those details before planning a production process around them.

Keep a visual checklist

Before revising the prompt, separate essential details from optional ones. Record the required hair color, clothing shape, and identifying accessory in a short checklist. Check those items against the result before judging smaller textures or decorative elements. This makes revisions easier to explain and prevents a series of changes from drifting away from the original concept. If you are working with another person, share both the brief and the selected example so that feedback refers to the same target. A clear review process is useful even when you are only exploring a character idea.
