V5 Images & Appearance Guide

Welcome to V5
Nomi's Version 5 image system offers greater image quality, customization, and flexibility across selfies and art. V5 supports a wide range of visual styles and gives users more control over their Nomi's appearance, while also improving how images respond to conversation context and prompts.
V5 introduces Anchors, which replace the Base Image system used by previous image versions. Anchors provide a more detailed reference for your Nomi's overall appearance, including their face, hair, body, style, and other visual characteristics. This guide covers the basics of using V5, customizing your Nomi's appearance, working with Anchors, and getting the most out of selfies and art.
Getting Started with V5
V5 can be selected individually for each Nomi. To change the image version manually, open the (...) menu next to your Nomi's name, select Image Settings, and choose Version 5 from the Selfie & Art System dropdown.
When using V5, your Nomi will already have stock Anchors available based on their original appearance, so you can start requesting selfies and creating art right away! You do not need to create a custom Anchor to begin using V5.
From Image Settings, you can also choose which Anchor your Nomi uses and adjust V5-specific appearance settings. Custom Anchors can be created later if you want greater control over your Nomi's appearance or a different visual style.
What Can V5 Generate?
V5 can be used for both Nomi selfies and art. While each feature uses V5 a little differently, your Nomi's selected Anchor and appearance settings help maintain their overall look across generated images.
- Selfies are influenced by the current conversation and your Nomi's appearance settings, allowing them to visually reflect what is happening in the chat.
- Art gives you more direct control through written prompts, making it useful for creating specific scenes, styles, outfits, poses, or compositions.
How Appearance Works in V5
A Nomi’s appearance in V5 is influenced by several different elements working together. Their selected Anchor provides the primary visual reference for their overall appearance, while Appearance Shared Notes can reinforce or add details such as hair, body characteristics, clothing preferences, or other recurring traits.
The context of an individual image also matters. Selfies can draw from the current conversation, while art uses the details provided in the art prompt. Elements such as pose, clothing, expression, lighting, setting, and visual style may all affect how your Nomi appears in a particular generation.
V5 Anchors are designed to support a wider range of poses, expressions, angles, and scenes while maintaining your Nomi’s overall likeness. Because the system has more flexibility to interpret your Nomi in different contexts, some variation, or “drift,” between generated images is expected. Settings such as Anchor Fidelity can help balance stronger consistency with greater visual flexibility.
