BNBOT Mascot Generator
Generate BNBOT's lobster-bot mascot in various poses and scenarios while maintaining consistent character design, using existing reference images for style matching.
How It Works
- Takes a reference image from the pre-approved set (V6/V7/V8 candidates)
- Sends it to Gemini as style reference along with the action prompt
- Gemini generates a new image matching the style
- Green-screen chromakey removes background for transparent PNG
