Purpose

Character Looks bridges Casting and generation. It captures how each character should appear across scenes, then turns that guidance into reusable references and prompt language.

Prerequisites

• Casting data is required for character-based look work.
• Breakdowns should be complete so scene and costume context are available.
• Style should be reviewed so wardrobe and makeup decisions match the project language.

Core Areas

• Character selector: choose the character or scene context to review.
• Look records: define wardrobe, hair, makeup, silhouette, color, and continuity details.
• References: attach portraits, generated wardrobe boards, or approved image assets.
• Scene mode: verify how a character changes across the story.

Workflow

1. Open Character Looks after Casting has identified project characters.
2. Review primary looks for each major character.
3. Add scene-specific variants only where the script requires them.
4. Generate or upload reference images for looks that will recur in images or videos.
5. Use approved references in Storyboarding, Image Generator, Video Generator, and performance workflows.

Continuity Checks

• Track costume changes by scene instead of overwriting the character's default look.
• Keep portrait identity, wardrobe, and performance references separate when each serves a different purpose.
• Regenerate looks only when casting or script interpretation changed enough to justify a full refresh.

Controls and Functions

Control	Function	Notes
Character selector	Chooses the character whose visual continuity is being edited.	Casting data should be reviewed first.
Look records	Define wardrobe, hair, makeup, silhouette, palette, and scene variants.	Use variants only when the story needs a real look change.
Scene filter	Shows which looks apply to a scene or sequence.	Use for continuity checks before Storyboarding.
Reference controls	Generate, upload, select, approve, or remove character-look references.	Approved looks can guide image, video, and performance generation.
Prompt fields	Turn styling choices into reusable generation language.	Keep identity, wardrobe, and shot action separate where possible.
Save/regenerate	Persists curated looks or refreshes from casting/script context.	Regenerate only when casting or script interpretation changed.
