Consistent Characters with --cref

The Problem

Every generation invents a new face. Series, comics and mascots need the same character across scenes: enter character reference.

How --cref Works

Generate or upload a clean reference portrait, then append its URL with --cref plus a strength value. Keep outfits and descriptions stable across prompts; change only scene and action.

When It Drifts

Regenerate the reference if drift compounds, keep faces large in frame, and accept near-consistency: audiences forgive small shifts, not new people.
