AI CharacterCharacter turnaround generator
A turnaround sheet is the document every animator, modeller and illustrator asks for: the same character drawn from several angles on one canvas, with consistent proportions and costume. Describe mode produces one automatically for every character. It is also what keeps later scenes consistent, because the sheet is the first reference attached to every render.
What the sheet contains
Front, three-quarter, side and back views where the renderer can fit them, standing in a neutral pose on a plain background, in the style you selected. Proportions are kept across the views, which is the hard part when you draw these by hand. The sheet carries the "sheet" badge in the references strip and is marked as the character's origin.
Rough, Clean or Detailed
Rough (5 credits) is a quick pass that is enough to judge silhouette and palette. Clean (22) is the one most people keep: crisp lines, faithful colours, usable as a reference for a team. Detailed (80) adds material fidelity and fine features and is worth it when the sheet will be printed or handed to a 3D artist. You can start rough, revise the description, and make the clean sheet once the design is settled.
Describing for a clean turnaround
Keep the description about the character only, with no scene. Name the costume from head to toe. If the design has asymmetric details (a pauldron on the left, a bag on the right hip), say which side; the back view will respect it. Avoid words like "dynamic" or "epic" for a sheet; those belong in scene prompts.
If the sheet is nearly right, use Edit rather than starting over: "make the boots knee-high", "remove the scarf", "change the coat to navy". Pin the corrected version as a reference and remove the first one.
Extra sheets
From the studio you can render supporting sheets as ordinary scenes: an expression sheet, a hands and props study, a colour variant line-up, a costume breakdown with callouts. Wide shapes work best. Upscale the final sheets to print size for a model pack.
Checking a sheet
Look at three things before you keep a sheet. Proportions: is the head the same size in every view? Costume continuity: does the belt, bag or pauldron appear on the same side in the back view? Palette: are the colours the ones you named? If two of the three pass, an Edit usually fixes the third faster than a new render. If none pass, the description is too vague; add nouns and sides. A sheet that passes all three will keep scenes consistent for as long as the character exists.
Questions
Does upload mode make a sheet?
No. Upload mode uses your images as references directly. You can render a sheet later as a scene prompt if you want one.
Can I remove the sheet from the references?
Yes, as long as at least one reference remains.
What background does the sheet have?
A neutral, plain background so the character reads clearly from every angle.
Can I regenerate the sheet?
Make a new character with the revised description, or edit the existing sheet with a sentence and pin the result.
