Runware Pokémon Generator - Watch Video

Generate Pokémon-inspired images and videos using the Runware SDK with a lightweight Express.js server. Runware SDK is used to run AI image generation with the Runware API, powered by the RunWare inference platform. It also allows the use of an existing library of more than 150k models, including any model or LoRA from the CivitAI gallery. The API also supports upscaling, background removal, inpainting, outpainting, ControlNets, and more. Visit the Runware site for detailed feature breakdown.

Features (in app /runware.js file)

• Image and Video Generation using RunwareSDK

import { Runware } from "@runware/sdk-js";

const runware = new Runware({
  apiKey: process.env.RUNWARE_API_KEY,
  timeout: 600000, // 10 minutes for complex video generation
  maxRetries: 30,
  retryDelay: 2000,
});

• Image Generation → POST /generate-image

  • Returns both the raw image URL and a background-removed version.

const images = await runware.requestImages({
      positivePrompt: "Pixel Art Pokemon Generator: "+prompt,
      model: "rundiffusion:130@100",
      numberResults: 1,
      outputFormat: "JPEG",
      width: 1024,
      height: 1024,
      steps: 33,
      CFGScale: 3,
      scheduler: "Euler Beta",
      includeCost: true,
      outputType: ["URL"],
      outputQuality: 95,
    });
    
    const backgroundRemoved = await runware.removeImageBackground({
      inputImage: images[0].imageURL,
    });

• Video Generation → POST /generate-video

  • Uses Google’s veo3 model to animate your Pokémon image with audio and prompt enhancement.

const payload = {
      duration: 8,
      fps: 24,
      model: "google:3@1", // Google Veo3
      outputFormat: "mp4",
      height: 1280,
      width: 720,
      numberResults: 1,
      includeCost: true,
      outputQuality: 95,
      providerSettings: {
        google: {
          generateAudio: true,
          enhancePrompt: true,
        },
      },
      frameImages: [{ inputImage: `${imageURL}`, frame: "first" }],
      positivePrompt: prompt,
    };
    // This call handles all async complexity internally
    const response = await runware.videoInference(payload);
