Finally tried out @hiunicornstudio and here's a quick tutorial on how to create this glitchy futuristic image reveal component 🧵 Thanks @yiannifive for the breakdown, @itsoffbrand for the original work they did for @LandoNorris, and @soulegit for creating an amazing tool!

create your base character with nano banana or your preferred image gen software. make sure it's zoomed out enough to give some space around the head

use that image as the reference for the next image Prompt: add a futuristic cyberpunk helmet painted white with a purple transparent visor. helmet should have lots of wear and battle damage, graffiti handstyles, small kawaii stickers with scratches. have matching should armor

bring both images into photoshop and remove the background and face from the top layer. I had to recreate the visor to get the look I was going for but you can simplify it

Open @hiunicornstudio and create new project. Upload both of your base image and your transparent armor image

On the armor layer add Effect - Distort - Mouse trail. Tweak the setting until you get something you're happy with

Now add the Pixelate effect to the same armor layer and tweak the settings

If you want to add another layer make a depth map with Change blendmode to Add. Apply a mouse reveal effect from armor layer to depth map layer

Then apply these effects to your depth map layer: Glyph Dither, Noise, and Caustics Caustics adds more variance to the glyphs.
