S14 Anchor Board Reference Review

Status

Document status: Codex local review.
Research arm: A.
Reference input: projects/2026-06-23-在路上/visual-system/characters/character-anchor-v2-codex-posture-test.png.
Generated image: ../outputs/s14-anchor-board-reference-v1.png.
Review result: usable candidate for user review; not a final project shot.

Reference Path Evidence

This run is not prompt-only:

the master character anchor image was loaded with view_image before generation;
the generation prompt referred to the loaded image as Image 1;
the prompt assigned Image 1 a character reference role;
the output shows multiple visual traits from the reference.

Limitation:

the built-in image tool does not expose a file-path upload argument in the visible tool schema;
this proves reference-by-visible-context for the host path, not Garden/API explicit image upload.

Local Visual Inspection

Visible preserved identity cues:

black rectangular glasses preserved;
dark slightly messy longer hair preserved;
fuller beard / stubble preserved;
weathered middle-aged face preserved;
dark long road-worn coat preserved;
old backpack preserved and visible;
traveler reads tired but dignified, not collapsed.

Shot-function fit:

cold city-edge environment is present;
wet concrete, overpass shadow, rail, and waterway create system-pressure space;
person is off-center enough for a scene still rather than pure portrait;
no obvious text, UI, neon, sci-fi, logo, or watermark.

Drift / watch points:

the face is closer to a three-quarter view than a strict side profile;
the person is visually strong, close to the upper size limit for an environment-led MV shot;
the city background is good but slightly cinematic-clean compared with the roughest project references.

Rubric

Criterion	Assessment	Notes
Actual reference made available	pass with host-context caveat	`view_image` before generation plus explicit `Image 1` prompt role.
Same traveler identity	pass	Strong preservation of glasses, hair, beard, coat, backpack.
Age and dignity	pass	Reads middle-aged and tired but not collapsed.
Half-profile S-14 function	mostly pass	It is closer to three-quarter half-profile than pure side.
Environment remains meaningful	pass	Urban edge is visible and not merely a portrait backdrop.
Avoids major drift	pass	No fashion, hero, cyber/UI, or glamour drift.

Codex Read

The master anchor board works surprisingly well as a general identity and outfit reference. It carries more complete character information than the side crop, especially coat, backpack, and overall road-worn presence.

For S-14, its weakness is precision: because the board contains multiple views and a front identity panel, the result leans toward a more readable three-quarter face rather than a strict side half-profile. This is acceptable for a trial image, but not the best primary reference if the shot needs controlled side-face identity.
