AI identity recreation: the complete guide
AI identity recreation means generating new images and video where the same person (real or fictional) appears consistently — same face structure, skin tone, and recognisable features. ModelClone trains a dedicated model from your references instead of hoping a prompt sticks.
When you need identity recreation
- Virtual influencers and brand mascots
- Creator clones for scale without new shoots
- Agency campaigns requiring one face across dozens of assets
- Video pipelines where the first frame must match a portrait
How ModelClone locks identity
- Reference ingestion and quality checks on upload
- Model training (~15 min) producing a reusable character ID
- Generation routes that inject the trained identity into image and video jobs
- Face swap for dropping the identity into existing footage
Best practices
