BEHIND THE SCENES

The reject → lock loop

OpenArt character variants being compared and locked for All the Pretty Seahorses

Every character in Seahorses was generated as several variants, then one was locked as the saved character. Each later shot references the locked character, which is how a recurring cast stays consistent across a short.

The Pipeline Picker builds this rule into its "recurring characters" path.
