1/6: Selfies V5, selfie editing, and more

Hi everyone, today V5 selfies went live. Much of the community has already been posting images from V5. V5 is optional to upgrade but will be the default - you can change to V4 or V3 legacy models in the top right of selfies, or in general settings. Legacy V4 is fully supported for both photoreal & anime, single & groups, and both legacy V3 and V4 are here to stay for quite a while more - so take your time to explore V5 and assess whether you want to switch and different versions may be better for different setups.

Migrating V4 custom avatars to V5 might require rewriting avatar descriptions, and this may be easier or harder for different avatar setups, and you can find more tips at the dedicated guide: [https://docs.kindroid.ai/v5-selfies-guide]() and can ask for concrete, personalized help in the dedicated Discord channel and providing your current setup.

Some bigger visual aspects that you'll notice in the new version:

  • Higher dynamic range in images and better aesthetics in general
  • Group selfies are much more fluid and dynamic rather than stiff
  • Better prompt understanding in most areas including text rendering, and diverse body shapes

There are a number of new features and changes with V5:

  • Selfie editing: using the wrench icon lets you edit selfies by painting an area to fix - this is helpful for small fixes like fixing hands or weird limbs, or bigger ones like changing outfits.
  • Increased character limits for avatar description and prompt; prompts can be weighed much higher, up to 4 or even above, but will work better with descriptive phrases rather than keywords
  • Face detail prompt for more control, to be used with higher face detail value
  • Face detail slider on V5 is default 0, instead of default 0.5 previously. New Kindroids will have default 0, but existing ones will respect existing values and not be changed and may still be 0.5 even if you have not changed them
  • Negative prompts and avatar fidelity do not exist in V5 and will not work - instead of describing negative prompt, use positive words to describe what is there, and use avatar description to get consistent avatars when using custom
  • Seed value for reproducibility in images, accessible in advanced settings & viewable in triple dots on top left corner of a selfie
  • Style references is changed from previous iterations and function differently, but you can use style & pose for group selfies.
  • Autoselfies are updated and so are wands for V5

Some other smaller changes:

  • Lite model received an update to make it less repetitive
  • Share lock limit raised from 100 to 10,000 - now you can go edit shared Kindroids to update them on V5. This will be permanent until further update and not temporary.
