Ich bin ein Fan Tabellen basierten Text -Zufallsgeneratoren, von denen ich mehrere oben im Menü unter Links hinterlegt habe.

Einer davon ist der Fantasy & Sci-Fi Race Generator auf SpringHole.net. Dieser liefert Zufällige Texte wie:

The average member of this race has a build similar to that of humans and is a little taller than humans on average.  They have pale skin and are covered with orange hair.  They have cat-like ears, extensive ridges on their foreheads, and small, drab magenta-to-brown eyes.  They wear colorful clothing that covers most of their bodies.  Their native habitat is a cold climate.  Many of them place high importance on curiosity and their leaders are interested in learning about other peoples‘ philosophies.

Was nun, wenn man versucht diese Ausgabe mit minimalen zusätzlichen Angaben zu visualisieren? Setzen wir dazu also einen Satz wie:

„Wide angle and full body shot of a character concept of a male and female being within their native habitat. “

Wir stellen das vor die Ausgabe des Textgenerators und übergeben das als Prompt an die generative KI unseres Vertrauens, so erhalten wir vielleicht eine passende Visualisierung.

Okay, probieren wir weitere Charakterstudien auf diesem Ansatz.

Text: „The average member of this race has a delicate build and is a little taller than humans on average.  They have medium to dark brown skin and are covered with red to brown hair.  They have delicate ridges on their heads and large, drab turquoise eyes.  They wear richly-decorated, modest clothing.  They are well-adapted to a tropical environment.  They are generally pessimistic and their leaders are interested in learning about other peoples‘ music.“

Okay, mal sehen ob es noch etwas sci-fi mäßiger geht.

Text: „The average member of this race has a delicate build and is quite tall.  They have pale to dark brown skin and have variating brown hair.  They have large, silver eyes.  They wear highly technological suits and very little jewelry.  They are well-adapted to a cold climate.  For the most part, their culture highly regards curiosity and they are well-known for their contributions to science.“

Okay, das klappt doch schon ganz gut. Jetzt wäre ich an einem automatischen Namensgenerator für die jeweilige Spezies interessiert. Und etwas weniger humanoides (also weniger Humans with funny heads) wäre fein… Mal sehen, das könnte schwierig werden mit einem Generator, der auf humanoide Wesen spezialisiert ist 😀.

Text: The average member of this race has a stocky build and is a little shorter than humans on average.  They have red-to-brown skin and have white to blond hair.  They have vivid turqoise-to-blue eyes and facial features that put you in mind of a monkey.  They wear colorful clothing that covers most of their bodies.  Their native habitat is a warm climate.  For the most part, their culture highly regards curiosity and they are well-known for their cuisine.

Text: „The average member of this race has a slender build and is extremely tall.  They have yellow-to-blue skin and have green hair.  They have dark eyes and facial features that put you in mind of an iguana.  They wear richly-decorated clothing that covers the essentials and very little jewelry.  They are well-adapted to a cold climate.  They are often pessimistic and their leaders are interested in learning about other peoples‘ music.“

Iguana? Also echsenähnlich? Das brauche ich ohnehin.

Text: „Wide angle and full body shot of a character concept of a male and female being within their native habitat. The average member of this race has a build similar to that of humans and is around the same height as the average human.  They have yellow skin and have dark gray hair.  They have cheetah-like spots on their bodies and facial features that put you in mind of an antelope.  They wear high-tech clothing that covers the whole body.  Their native habitat is a warm climate.  Many of them place high importance on tradition, visible on delicately ornamented scarfs, pouches or backpacks and they are well-known for their art.“

Mein Fazit. Die Kombination aus einem sorgfältig erstellten Textgenerator und einer generativen KI kann durchaus einige brauchbare resultate erzielen. Was mir sehr gut gefällt sind die zudem die auf der Springhole Seite verknüpften Tipps zum Worldbuilding.
