Character Anchor Review V1

Status

• Review status: superseded by v2 review.
• Image acceptance state: not final anchor; v2 was accepted later.
• Generation purpose: test Codex host image generation capability and character-anchor workflow completeness.
• Next gated action: completed by character-anchor-review-v2.md and character-identity-lock.md.

Generation Context

Prompt document:

• visual-system/characters/character-anchor-prompt-v1.md

Generated image:

• visual-system/characters/character-anchor-v1-codex-test.png

Tool default source retained:

• C:\Users\wangq\.codex\generated_images\019ef2f7-e630-7303-a0e8-e5e7a86912fc\ig_098d4e68be1207f7016a3a2cde9678819889913b70ad004b89.png

Image properties:

• Width: 1672
• Height: 941
• Pixel format: RGB
• Aspect: close to 16:9

Inputs Used

Identity Reference

C:\Users\wangq\Pictures\照片\photo.jpg

Role:

• identity reference;
• not edit target;
• not passport-photo style target.

Satisfactory Sample Reference

visual-system/characters/character-chatgpt.png

Role:

• visual target reference for board structure and satisfactory character-asset direction;
• not the primary identity source.

User Prompt Adjustments

• Add height: about 180cm.
• Hair and beard should be longer.
• Beard should be denser / fuller.

Privacy Note

External MiniMax visual analysis was attempted for character-chatgpt.png but rejected by the environment because sending a project-local image to an external service would be private workspace data exfiltration. The review below is based on local visual inspection only.

Review Checklist

Check	Result	Notes
Front / side / back same-person consistency	Pass	The front, side, and back views read as the same traveler.
Back-view recognition without face	Pass	Long coat, backpack, hair shape, and stance are consistent enough for later back-view use.
Walking side / walking back naturalness	Pass	Walking side and rear walking pose are natural and not heroic.
Tired but dignified	Pass	Face and posture read as restrained, weathered, and dignified rather than collapsed.
180cm body direction	Pass with note	The body reads adult, solid, and tall enough; exact height cannot be verified from the board alone.
Longer hair / denser beard	Pass	Compared with the prior sample, hair and beard are clearly longer and fuller.
Coat / backpack / boots stability	Pass	The old long coat, backpack, and boots are strong and reusable visual anchors.
Avoid homeless / drunk / fashion / hero drift	Pass	It stays practical and road-worn without becoming a fashion shoot or poverty stereotype.
Avoid text dependence	Pass	The board uses minimal blocks and empty label areas; exact labels are not required from the image.
Usefulness for later five-shot prompts	Pass	Good enough to test character carryover into s01/s10/s46/s47/s51.

Observed Strengths

• The generated board successfully follows the multi-view character-sheet structure.
• The shallow gray-white background keeps silhouette and clothing readable.
• The dark long coat, old backpack, and old boots are stronger than the face as wide-shot identity anchors.
• The longer hair and fuller beard move the character closer to the requested road-worn traveler image.
• The side and back views are useful for later landscape-led composition.

Observed Risks

• The result strongly follows the ChatGPT sample layout, which is good for this test but may make future iterations too dependent on one sample.
• The face is directionally related to the source photo, but not a strict likeness match. This may be acceptable because the brief asks for a translated road-film figure, not a portrait copy.
• The board is strong, but still not proof that later wide environmental shots will preserve identity; that must be tested in the five-shot package.
• Exact 180cm cannot be visually audited without scale marks or a comparison object.

Recommendation

This is a successful process test and a plausible first character anchor candidate.

Recommended next decision:

1. If the user accepts this board as the first character anchor candidate, create character-identity-lock.md.
2. If the user wants a tighter likeness to the source photo, regenerate with stronger identity-reference wording.
3. If the user wants less dependency on the ChatGPT sample, regenerate with the same identity but lighter sample-reference wording.
4. Do not start transparent slices until this board is accepted or a repaired version replaces it.
