Smart Variations
Modify character poses and add/remove elements with AI
Overview
Smart Variations empowers you to modify existing artwork by changing character poses, expressions, and dynamically adding or removing design elements. Select any image in Figma, describe the pose change or elements you want to add/remove, and watch the AI intelligently transform your design.
Perfect for creating character animation frames, exploring different compositional options, or adapting designs for various contexts. The AI maintains style consistency while giving you complete control over poses and design elements.
Key Capabilities
Character Pose Modification
Transform character poses dynamically - from standing to sitting, walking to jumping, or waving to pointing. Change arm positions, leg stances, body angles, and facial expressions while maintaining character identity and design consistency. Ideal for creating animation sequences, storyboards, or multiple character states.
Intelligent Element Addition
Add new elements seamlessly into your designs - accessories, props, background objects, decorative elements, or text overlays. The AI understands context and perspective, placing new elements naturally and maintaining visual harmony with the original artwork's style, lighting, and composition.
Smart Element Removal
Remove unwanted elements intelligently - the AI doesn't just delete, it reconstructs what should be behind removed objects. Remove backgrounds, accessories, text, or any design element while the AI fills in appropriate details, maintaining natural composition and style continuity.
Expression and Gesture Control
Modify facial expressions and hand gestures with precision - change from neutral to smiling, serious to excited, or create specific hand gestures like thumbs up, peace sign, or pointing. Perfect for character sheets, emotional variations, or communication-focused designs.
