Models in Rapir
Prepare a strong source photo
Use a sharp image without heavily cropped body parts or product edges. Leave space in the direction of movement so the model can preserve the subject instead of inventing missing details.
- One clear main subject.
- Face or product is large and well lit.
- Few foreground objects covering the subject.
Preserve the original look
Describe motion rather than redesigning the subject in the prompt. Small natural movements preserve identity better than abrupt viewpoint changes; use reference or first/last-frame support for more controlled transitions.
FAQ
Yes. Subtle head movement, expression, wind, or camera motion usually works best with a clear close-up portrait.
