Updated in November 2026: what still works and what changed

I wrote this tutorial in 2024. The method below still works. Some of the tools in it do not.

Fooocus still runs, but it stopped moving. The last release is v2.5.5, from August 2024, and the project describes itself as long term support with bug fixes only. It is SDXL only, and the authors state there are no plans to add newer model architectures, so no SD 3.5 and no Flux. For the newer models people use ComfyUI or SwarmUI today.
Roop Unleashed is gone. GitHub disabled the repository in January 2025 and the author stopped developing it. The original Roop is archived too. The face swap project that kept going is FaceFusion, on release 3.9.2 from October 2026. Read its license yourself before any commercial use: the repository does not declare a clear one.
GFPGAN was abandoned. No code changes since July 2024 and the newest model is still v1.4. It is still bundled almost everywhere, but the face restorer that is actually maintained is CodeFormer. It has no equivalent to the 0.8 blend slider: what you set there is a fidelity value, trading identity against detail.
The approach itself changed. In 2024 you generated a face, generated poses, then swapped the face in. In 2026 you lock the identity while you generate. The strongest option is still training a character LoRA of your influencer. Below that, you hand reference photos to a model built for it: Qwen Image 2.1 takes up to ten references, and FLUX.1 Kontext does the same for edits in sequence. Among adapters, PuLID is the identity piece for Flux, while InstantID and IP Adapter FaceID stayed on SDXL. Face swapping is now a repair step, not the way you keep a face consistent.

The 3 steps below are the 2024 version, and they are still the clearest way to understand the idea. Read them for the logic, then do the work with the 2026 tools above.

What Are AI Influencers and How They Work?

An AI influencer is a character created with AI to look and act like a real person on social media.

A famous example is Aitana Lopez.

She is still active in 2026, with something close to 390,000 followers on Instagram. The money figure everyone repeats, up to 10,000 euros a month, is a statement the agency behind her gave in 2023, never audited, and nobody has published a newer one in the three years since. One detail worth knowing before you copy the model: there is an agency of about a dozen people running her, not one person with a laptop.

3-Step Tutorial: How to Create an AI Influencer

I created this tutorial to make it as simple as possible so that even if you know nothing about AI, you can create your own AI Influencer.

You just need to follow these 3 steps. (I will detail each one):

Step 1) Use an Image Generator to create the face of your AI Influencer.

Step 2) Use the same or a different image generator to make more pictures

Step 3) Use a face-swap tool to put the face from Step 1 onto the photos from Step 2.

You’ll need just 2 FREE tools as I will explain:

Fooocus (Stable Diffusion)
Roop Unleashed (FaceSwap Tool)

Fooocus will be used in steps 1 and 2.

If you’re not sure how to setup Fooocus, check out these tutorials I wrote:

Installing Stable Diffusion (Fooocus) - If you want to install it on your machine.
Running Stable Diffusion Online (Fooocus) - If you want to run it online.

And If you found Fooocus too complicated and want something easier, take a look at this list of NSFW AI Tools, there you will find user-friendly AI Image Generators.

Roop Unleashed will be used for ‘face swaping’ in step 3.

If you find this tool too complicated, you can use an online tool such as DeepSwap instead.

I will soon post how to Setup and Run Roop Unleashed Free Online.

Step 1) - Creating Your Character’s Face with Fooocus

The first step is to generate a photo of your character’s face. To do this, open your AI image generator and type a simple prompt.

In this example, I’m using this prompt:

Prompt: “Portrait of a 25-year-old woman, with purple hair and blue eyes.”

This is the picture that I got with the prompt I wrote:

Beautiful, isn’t she?

Now that you have your influencer’s face, let’s move to step 2, where I will generate other photos of her in different poses and scenes.

Step 2 - Generating New Poses and Scenes

Now, you need to generate new poses and scenes of people with a similar face.

⚠️ Note that this step will not generate the exact face yet, but don’t worry: This will be improved in the final step.

So, to generate new poses and scenes, you need to do a few things first:

Select the “Input Image” checkbox
Click on the “Image Prompt” tab
Enable the “Advanced” checkbox in the “Image Prompt” tab
Drag and drop or upload the face photo you generated inStep 1
Select the “FaceSwap” option

Now, write the prompt describing the new image you want to generate:

For example, I wrote:

"Instagram photo of a 25-years-old-woman, on the beach, wearing a bikini, 35mm, ISO, Depth of field, (natural light:1.3), (light and shadows:1.1), film grain, HDR10, vivid colors."

Now click on “Generate” and wait for the results.

Example of images I generated in step 2**:**

⚠️As I said, this is not the same face yet, it will be improved in the next step.

Choose the images that you like for the body, pose, and scenario to use in the next step, which you will improve the face.

Step 3 (Final) - Perfecting the face of your AI Influencer NSFW FaceSwap Technique (Roop Unleashed)

By now, you have new scenes and poses of AI-generated characters similar to your AI Influencer.

Now it’s time to make the same face appear consistently in all the images.

For this, I will use a FaceSwapping tool called Roop Unleashed. Click here if you don’t know how to install it.

In the Roop Unleashed, you will take the photo you generated in step 1 and add it to the photo you generated in step 2, replacing the face of your AI Influencer.

Face Swapping

Now you will take the photo you generated in step 1 and add it to the photo you generated in step 2, replacing the face of your AI Influencer.

Add the Step 1 face photo in the Source File field.

Then,

Add the photo from Step 2 to the Target File field.

Now adjust these 2 parameters:

In the “post-processing” section, select GFPGAN
In the “Original/Enhanced image blend ratio” set it to 0.8. (You can play around with those value to see what is better for your image.)

⚠️ 2026 note: these two settings belong to Roop Unleashed, which is no longer available. In FaceFusion the same pair is the face enhancer, where you pick CodeFormer, and the blend slider right next to it.

You don’t need to change anything more, just click the “Start” button.
