Open LiveGen, switch to Summon mode, add a reference image of your comfort character, point your camera at a real surface, and gesture — they appear in your room and react to you live, no art skills or headset needed.
A comfort character is the one you come back to — the husbando, waifu, or blorbo you reach for when you want something familiar and kind. Most ways of "having" them stay flat: a wallpaper, a fan edit, a chat window where you type and read replies. None of it feels like they're actually there. Summon changes that by putting them in your real camera feed, live, reacting to your hand and your space instead of sitting behind glass.
There are actually two routes to the same feeling, and this guide covers both. Bring to Life animates a still image of your character — their official art or your fan art starts moving, in their world. Summon pulls them out of the image and into yours, appearing in your actual room through the camera. Pick based on whose space you want the moment to happen in.
The two routes share the same start and end; they fork in the middle. Here's how to choose:
| Route | What happens | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| Bring to Life | A still image of your character starts moving — you drag to direct the motion | You want them alive in their own world: their art, their pose, their scene |
| Summon | The character appears in your real room on camera and reacts to your gestures | You want them here, sharing your actual space |
Bring to Life asks for nothing beyond a good source image. Summon films your actual room, so a few setup choices matter:
The first clip is usually just proof that it works. The ones after that are where it gets good:
Summon is the mode built for exactly this: your comfort character appears in your live camera feed and stays aware of your gestures and position, without any rigging, 3D modeling, or headset. Bring to Life is the other half of the pair — upload their art and drag to set it moving, no camera required. Both run on the same real-time engine, frame by frame over WebRTC, so switching between routes takes seconds, not a render queue.
If you'd rather transform yourself to match their world instead of summoning them beside you, Face Swap does that live too — and the two combine well in one session. For more on making a companion feel present rather than just chatted-to, see AI Companion in Your Room and Comfort Character.
No. Summon works from a 2D reference image — there's no rigging or modeling step on your end.
Start with whichever space matters more. If the pull is their art — a pose, an expression you love — Bring to Life animates it directly. If the pull is having them here, in your room, Summon is the one. Free credits cover trying both.
No. Instead of typing to a character, you see them live in your camera feed, reacting to your gestures in real time.
