I used my own portrait to explore how far AI can sustain a visual identity—and where human intention takes over again.
Petruverse is a personal playground where 2D, 3D, and generative workflows merge into an evolving character. Let’s Play.
Process
A hybrid workflow blends a 3D base model, visual references, and AI-generated variations to form a unified cinematic scene. Urban textures, the character, and a robot companion converge into a single visual universe.
AI + 3D
Through a custom ComfyUI pipeline, static images are transformed into structured 3D scenes. From inference to volumetric reconstruction, each step preserves consistency for animation-ready models.
Avatars 2D and 3D With ComfyUI
3D COMIC
Using Seedream 4, I reimagined my portrait in a comic style and brought it to life by rigging it inside a 3D book in Cinema 4D, where AI-driven aesthetics meet physical motion.
I set up a book rig in Cinema 4D and textured each page with images from the comic.
Now the book moves exactly how I want, and it looks just like the original.
Design Magazines
Expressions, angles, and lighting variations were processed through ComfyUI to build a stable avatar with a coherent identity ready for animation or 3D integration.
I used UNI3C inside ComfyUI to track the camera and preserve the original perspective.Use this space to explain the image above a bit more in detail.
The original camera movement was tracked to ensure the AI-generated character fit seamlessly into the scene.
