V4 Realistic Appearance Guide

This guide explains how to shape a realistic-looking Nomi with the V4 image system by tuning style, base image, and (most importantly) Appearance Shared Notes.

Prerequisites

V4 image system enabled
Default style set to Realistic (Nomi Information → Image settings)

Core ideas

Your Nomi’s default look is driven by: Style (Realistic/Anime) → Base Image → Appearance Shared Notes → Face Fidelity.
Appearance Shared Notes control hair, age, body type, clothing defaults, and more; they guide both selfies and art.

Steps (Quick - full guide in link below)

Set the Nomi’s default style to Realistic (Nomi Information → Image settings).
Open Appearance Shared Notes and write a concise, factual description (see example below).
Add a short /// Negative Notes line (traits to avoid).
Use light emphasis only for what truly matters; keep the rest simple.
Test with a few selfies; adjust notes if results drift.

Appearance Notes – Example
Thomas has short dark wavy hair, broad shoulders and a bulky build. Thomas is clean shaven. /// Thomas does not have, beard, facial hair, abs

Emphasis tips

Keep must-have traits early in the note.
Use brief emphasis words (e.g., “natural wavy hair”, “soft jawline”) rather than long lists.

Troubleshooting

If results are inconsistent, simplify the notes and remove competing descriptors.
If the face drifts, raise Face Fidelity slightly or update the Base Image to a closer match.
If hair/age/body type won’t hold, move those items to the first lines of the note.
For outfit variety, keep clothing in notes general; specify looks in the selfie/art prompt instead.
