Guide title

Story2Board: keeping one character consistent across storyboard panels without training (paper note)

Coverage

A source note on the Story2Board paper (CC BY 4.0) for artists and technical leads weighing training-free ways to keep a character recognizable across storyboard panels. It lists the per-panel inputs, the reported settings, the authors' results and stated limits, and a matched-controls comparison with three related methods. Based on the paper's web pages only; nothing was run.

Example

A hypothetical, untested six-panel layout for an invented fox cub: one reference description, six scene descriptions, and a check of every panel for borrowed features when a second character appears.

Useful starting points

• Check every frame with two or more characters: the authors say the method can pass along attribute mix-ups already present in the base model instead of fixing them.
• All scores and user-study results are the authors' own figures; treat the consistency gains as claims until you test them on your own character.
• The paper reports a plain base model can look consistent by rendering near-identical characters, so judge prompt fidelity as well as likeness.
