Why Reference Images Matter
Without a reference, AI models generate a different-looking character or setting every time. Reference images anchor the generation to specific visual attributes — face structure, clothing style, lighting environment — enabling consistent output across a series.
Character Consistency Strategy
- Generate a strong character image with Flux Dev or Recraft V4 Pro using a detailed prompt
- Save this as your character reference
- For subsequent generations, upload this image as the reference and describe the new scene
- Use models like Flux Kontext Pro or Kling 3.0 Pro I2V which are optimized for reference consistency
Style Consistency
Use a generated image you are happy with as a style reference. Upload it with the prompt: "Apply the color palette and visual style of the reference image to: [new scene description]"
