Realistic and Stylized Redraw of the Same Character
Demonstrated in the image-to-image form of ideogram-v3-character/edit: anchored by the same character reference image, switching only the prompt and the style field redraws the person as a realistic portrait and as an artistic (stylized) portrait respectively, to compare how the model performs between "preserving facial/hair/clothing features" and "changing lighting, background, and texture." It comprises three types of assets: a clear, frontal, evenly lit character reference image (to lock identity), a base image to be edited with the same aspect ratio as the source image, and a redraw mask of the same aspect ratio (covering the person's area); together the three satisfy the schema's required constraints on image_url / mask_url / reference_image_urls; in base, style=REALISTIC, rendering_speed=BALANCED, expand_prompt=false, and seed are additionally set to stably reproduce the comparison results. Applicable scenarios: style exploration for serialized portrait illustrations, effect evaluation before reusing a character across scenes, and trial production of promotional materials that need the same figure to switch between realistic and artistic visual tones. Note: consistency is not absolute; facial deviations may still occur under complex poses and extreme lighting; reference image quality directly affects the result, so images with clear faces and few occlusions are recommended.
