After configuring the <u>[internal character details](docId\:i5-J5OkWbXvEmOsvs9qff)</u>, give your simulation character a visual identity by defining their appearance and adding a character photo. You can either describe the character and let SimFlow generate a photo based on that description or upload an existing photo.

This helps create a consistent visual representation of the patient or character throughout the simulation.

Let’s get started 🚀

Use the walkthrough below to define the character's appearance and add their photo.
