A felted-wool lamb run kept its wool texture across shots, while a run that asked for live-action dark fantasy with practical makeup read as rendered stylised characters in the sampled frames.

Two 10 August 2026 (UTC) runs show how closely the sampled frames follow a requested look. H01 viewed 12 timestamped frames of each.

Held: the felted-wool lamb keeps dense curled wool and glossy eyes from the first to the last sampled frame.

Did not hold: the second run asked for live-action dark fantasy with practical makeup on real performers, yet its sampled frames show two stylised, big-eyed, pointed-eared characters with a rendered, doll-like look in a black-and-white fog.

Reading: when the reference still is strongly stylised, a 'live-action' instruction may not override it; check frames against the intended look. This is two single runs with no seed set.

These are retrospective observations of founder tests, not a benchmark or product validation. Audio was not listened to.
