Mixed Emotions

The training I create is for a manufacturing facility, forging to be precise.  It is also heavily based on standards, dry, boring material in other words.  

I decided to give avatars a try to get across key points instead of having the learner have to read a bunch of bullet points.

What I discovered with the avatar tool:

1. There aren't many "industrial" avatars that fit right out of the box.  I have to provide extensive details in my prompt to get close to what I am wanting to portray.  It kinda defeats the quick creation process.  For example, there are only 3 industrial options, only one of them actually have safety glasses on and she is sitting on a forklift.  I used that one and changed the background, but her features and movements were "off".
2. Trying to get a background environment that resembles our facility is impossible.  I have tried several detailed prompts and edits, and still get backgrounds that don't really match.  I'm sure I need to improve on my prompt writing, but it was still so time consuming to get close to what I wanted without it looking completely fake or "futuristic" that I gave up and settled for an office setting.  I also found his facial expression didn't change much even though I used the expressive descriptions option in the create AI text.

I did find that getting key points across is much easier and the associates can relate better than just reading a bunch of words.

I will continue to work with creating avatars and I'm sure eventually I will be able to get very close to the avatar I want.  That's why I am glad there is the option to save your avatar.
