Characters and smart entities

A smart entity is a named visual reference you can reuse in generations. Give it reference images and an @handle, then select it in a supported prompt instead of attaching and describing the same references each time.

​

Choose a type

All five types use 1–20 image references. Choose images that make the intended reference clear. Use several angles for a prop, recognizable views of an environment, or examples of the same visual style. A style entity uses reference images too. It is not a model fine-tune or a text-only preset. A scene is a visual reference for staging. Creating one does not assemble a 3D scene or a video timeline.

​

What an entity contains

• References: the images that define it, plus a selected cover.
• Name and handle: how you find it in the library and mention it in prompts.
• Description: text that explains its visual characteristics. Characters require one. The other types allow it to be omitted.
• Associated media: generations that used the entity and assets linked to it by hand.

The defining reference images are displayed separately from the associated-media gallery. Adding a media item to that gallery does not automatically make it a reference for future generations.

​

Reuse

Entity references help guide a model toward a consistent subject or look. The result depends on the model and its supported inputs. Using an entity is not a guarantee of an identical appearance in every output.
