SAEDNEWS: Iranian artists have crafted keychains featuring AI-generated charms, blending handmade art with technology to blur the line between imagination and reality.
According to the Entertainment Service of SaedNews, designing celebrity dolls with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the fascinating innovations at the intersection of technology, art, and luxury goods. Below, we explore the key points, challenges, and examples in this field:
How can a celebrity doll be designed with AI?
The process of designing a celebrity doll with AI usually involves several stages:
1. Collecting reference data
For AI to accurately recreate a celebrity’s face, style, and physical features, it needs a variety of images from different angles, lighting conditions, facial expressions, and even videos.
2. Creating an intelligent facial model
Using generative neural networks or image-to-image translation models, such as GANs or diffusion models, AI can reconstruct a celebrity’s face and produce an iconic or idealized version of it.
3. Choosing the doll’s style and type
Dolls can be designed in various styles: cartoonish, realistic, Barbie-style, action figure, or a mix of realism and caricature. Designers or users can instruct the AI to create the doll in a specific outfit or pose.
4. Adding physical features and details
After generating a digital image, producing a physical doll requires industrial design, mold-making, and material selection (e.g., plastic, resin, fabric). The AI-generated design serves as a blueprint guiding the physical production.
5. Limited production or digital/NFT release
The doll can be produced physically or offered solely as a digital artwork (e.g., limited digital editions or NFTs). In some cases, digital dolls are delivered to customers or used for 3D printing.
