Clean identity references
Use sharp, well-lit references with a visible face, stable proportions, minimal occlusion, and no conflicting characters or visual styles.
SEEDREAM CHARACTER CONSISTENCY
Keep characters more consistent across Seedream images
Consistency improves when the model receives a clean reference set, a short identity specification, stable visual anchors, controlled scene changes, and an explicit list of details that must not change. Generate a neutral identity sheet before attempting complex poses or environments.
No generative model guarantees perfect identity. Review faces, anatomy, clothing, accessories, and proportions before publishing a sequence.
CAPABILITIES
The foundations of character consistency
Use the sections below to make a practical decision, follow a repeatable process, and avoid common production mistakes.
Short identity specification
Describe the few defining traits that must persist: face shape, hair, age range, skin tone, body proportions, signature clothing, and key accessories.
Controlled scene changes
Change one major variable at a time. Preserve identity and wardrobe while testing pose, then preserve those results while changing environment or lighting.
Repeatable quality checks
Compare every output against the approved identity sheet for facial geometry, eye color, hairline, proportions, clothing details, hands, and accessories.
WORKFLOWS
A repeatable consistent-character workflow
Follow the steps in order, record the important settings and task IDs, and review the result before using it in production.
Create an identity sheet
Generate or select neutral front, three-quarter, and side views with stable lighting, expression, hairstyle, clothing, and proportions.
Build scenes in stages
Start with a simple scene and one character. Add pose, environment, props, lighting, and other people in separate controlled iterations.
Lock the approved anchors
Reuse the same references and identity paragraph, state what must not change, and reject outputs that drift before creating the next scene.
FAQ
Seedream Character Consistency questions
Answers about reference images, identity drift, clothing consistency, multiple characters, and fixing inconsistent Seedream outputs.
How do I keep the same character in Seedream?
Use the same clean reference set and identity description, preserve defining traits explicitly, change one scene variable at a time, and compare each output against an approved identity sheet.
Why does my Seedream character face keep changing?
References may be unclear or conflicting, the prompt may introduce too many simultaneous changes, or the face may be too small or occluded. Simplify the scene and strengthen the identity anchors.
Can Seedream keep clothing consistent?
Provide clear clothing references and describe distinctive colors, materials, cut, patterns, logos, and accessories. Explicitly state that the wardrobe must remain unchanged.
Can I generate multiple consistent characters together?
It is possible but more difficult. Establish each character separately, label references clearly, define spatial positions, and verify that identity and clothing have not been swapped.
