Props & Quality Assurance: Props · Reference Photos · Character Consistency

These three fields form a layered synergy mechanism and are the core guarantee for cross-shot character consistency.

PropspropsP2

Describe key props (handheld items / tabletop items / environmental decor). Use a three-part location prefix + item description:

PrefixMeaningStandard Example
/heldDirect hand control/held: The fingers of the left hand are holding a transparent glass with amber liquid in it.
/tableStable support surface/table: Stainless steel thermos cup placed flat on marble countertop, lid tightened
/bgDistance / background/bg: There are green potted plants in the corner of the conference room with wide leaves.

Full example: /held: right hand grips a black leather briefcase with silver metal clasp; /table: open laptop lying flat on a solid wood desktop; /bg: city night skyline visible through floor-to-ceiling window

For props that must stay consistent across shots, use unique identifying descriptors (e.g., silver metal clasp, dent in lower-left corner) for later reference. Secondary background clutter is excluded.
Reference PhotoportraitsP0

The single source of visual truth for the character consistency system. Stores reference photo paths to provide a direct visual anchor across shots.

Path format: /characters/{character_english_name}/{reference_photo_file}, named portrait_{version}.{extension}

Example: portraits: ["/characters/chen_zhuo/portrait_v1.png"]

Update mechanism: version increments, old versions retained, full-level cascade — new reference photos are injected into all related shots, triggering prompt re-fusion.

Quality check: path must correctly reference the character folder, file must exist and be readable, version number must match the actual asset. Any error triggers a P0 alert.
Character ConsistencyconsistencyP0

Text-level anchor words that complement reference photos (visual reference). Use a three-part format: facial features + costume + body type.

Example: square face shape, black short hair parted on the side, thick straight eyebrows, single-fold eyelids; dark gray fitted suit jacket over white shirt, black straight-leg trousers; medium build around 175 cm, well-proportioned

Must include character constraint clause: Character constraint: only Chen Zhuo appears in the frame, no other people allowed, no repeated appearances of the same character, no character clones or duplicates

Anchor words prioritize identifiability. Black short hair parted on the side (color + length + style) is highly identifiable; neat hair is extremely low-identifiability and applies to almost any man.

Three-Field Synergy

  • Reference Photo: visual reference layer, ensures single-shot alignment with design
  • Character Consistency: text anchor, provides correction when visual understanding deviates
  • Props: assist spatial positioning; iconic props become auxiliary anchors
