Character Lock
One character. Every frame and format.
Build a reusable character from authorized reference images, then bring that identity into new settings, looks, camera angles, campaigns, storyboards, and motion while preserving what makes the person recognizable.
Core controls
What Consistent AI Character Generator needs to control.
Identity reference sheet
Create a reusable visual anchor from clear, authorized source images.
Cross-scene consistency
Reuse the character across locations, wardrobe, lighting, and framing changes.
Image and video workflows
Select the same identity in image generation, video, storyboard, and marketing tools.
Practical planning
What to decide before using Consistent.
Use authorized reference images that show one identity clearly across useful angles without filters, heavy occlusion, or contradictory styling. Decide which traits define recognition and which may change between scenes.
Protect identity and art direction as separate layers. Keep face structure and distinctive features stable while changing wardrobe, pose, environment, lighting, or format through the scene prompt.
- Identity reference sheet: Create a reusable visual anchor from clear, authorized source images.

- Image and video workflows: Select the same identity in image generation, video, storyboard, and marketing tools.
Quality control
How to review a character lock result.
Adding many weak references can dilute identity instead of strengthening it. Prefer a smaller coherent set, reject outliers, and inspect difficult angles and expressions before relying on the character for a large campaign.
A useful review follows the workflow in order: add authorized references, then build the identity, then direct new scenes. Change one variable per comparison so the next render answers a specific question.
- Add authorized references: Use clear images that represent the same consenting subject.
- Build the identity: Create and review the reusable character reference before campaign work.
- Direct new scenes: Select the character and control how strongly the identity should guide each result.
