BananaFace: Open Source AI Stylist for Consistent Character Design

BananaFace is an open-source AI styling engine that acts as a personal digital stylist. It simplifies the process of generating and refining character faces, ensuring high visual consistency whether you are creating a simple portrait or a detailed artistic study. The platform utilizes two primary pipelines—text-to-image and image-to-image—powered by Google AI Studio and the Gemini model family.

Two Creation Modes

• Text-to-Image: Construct characters entirely from text prompts.
• Image-to-Image: Use a reference photo as a foundation for further refinement.

Precision Controls

The engine features 44 parameters organized into four categories: Character, Photography, Style, and Environment. This allows you to adjust specific technical settings including camera body, lens selection, focal length, and aperture—providing the level of control expected by professional photographers.
