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 Anchor Appearance Traits can be used to further define characteristics such as hair, body features, and other recurring visual details.
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.
Anchors
Anchors are the primary visual reference used by V5 to maintain your Nomi’s overall likeness across generated images. They help define characteristics such as facial structure, hair, upper body shape, and other unique visual features while still allowing V5 the flexibility to generate different poses, expressions, angles, and scenes.
Each Nomi has stock Anchors available when using V5, and custom Anchors can also be created for greater control over appearance and visual style. The selected Anchor works together with settings such as Anchor Fidelity and Anchor Appearance Traits to influence how closely generated images follow that reference.
What Are Anchors?
An Anchor uses a single image as a visual reference for your Nomi’s appearance. V5 uses that reference to help preserve recognizable features such as their face, hair, upper body shape, unique quirks like tattoos, and overall likeness across new generations, while still allowing your Nomi to appear naturally in different poses, expressions, and angles.
Unlike the Base Image system used by V1–V4, which was primarily focused on preserving facial likeness, V5 Anchors provide a broader reference for your Nomi’s overall appearance. Rather than simply carrying the same face into each image, an Anchor gives V5 a more flexible visual foundation that can be applied across a wider range of poses and perspectives.
