Story diffusion transforms your written narratives into stunning visual experiences. Imagine crafting a comic strip simply by describing your story with text prompts. Story Diffusion achieves consistency across images in a series through a method called Consistent Self-Attention. This method is inserted into the diffusion backbone and works by calculating self-attention across a batch of images rather than a single image. This allows the model to build connections between the images and ensure that the characters and their attributes are consistent throughout the series. For example, if a character is wearing a black suit in one image, they will also be wearing a red shirt in subsequent images.
