How to Generate the Same AI Character Across Multiple Angles (Multi-shot Seed-Lock Tutorial)

You generate one image of a character you like. Then you ask the AI for the same character in a different pose — and a totally different person comes out. Same face? No. Same outfit? No. Same proportions? No.

This is the single biggest pain in AI image workflow: character consistency. Most AI image tools treat each prompt as a fresh roll of the dice. The seed (= the random number that drives the output) changes every time, so even with identical text, the result drifts.

The fix is straightforward once you know it: lock the seed across multiple shots and only vary the angle clause.

Every AI image is determined by two things: the prompt (= text describing what you want) and the seed (= a number that controls the random patterns the AI starts from).

Change the seed → totally different image, even with the same prompt.

Keep the seed → same image foundation, even when the prompt changes slightly.

Multi-shot mode exploits this: it picks ONE random seed, then generates 4 separate images (front / 3-4 / side / back), all sharing that same seed. The character description in each prompt is identical; only the angle clause changes. Result: the same character, four angles, locked.

EGAKU AI ships this exact workflow as a built-in mode. No prompt engineering required.

1. Open the Character Sheet builder at /character-sheet. Sign-in is optional for the preview but required to generate.
2. Fill in the identity: name, age, build, ethnicity. The "Sheriff Maya Okafor" preset is a complete worked example you can load and edit.
3. Add face design + wardrobe: face structure, skin notes, eye color, hair, clothing details. The more specific you are, the more locked the character feels.
4. Pick a style: Photoreal / Anime / 3D-Pixar. Each routes to a different default model (Flux Pro / Flux Dev / Venice Lustify for NSFW).
5. Switch to Multi-shot mode (= the toggle next to Composite mode). This is the key.
6. Click Generate 4 panels. The system picks one shared seed and runs 4 generations with front / 3-4 / side / back angle clauses appended.
7. Pick the primary panel — that's the i2v reference for the next step.

Once you have a locked-character sheet, you can hand the primary panel to image-to-video to get a moving turnaround.

EGAKU's i2v lineup that works with character sheets:

• Wan 2.6 I2V: 8 credits, 15-second clip, 720p. Most reliable for character consistency.
• Seedance 2 Pro I2V: 10 credits, 1080p HD. Premium quality, character-aware.
• Seedance 2 Fast I2V: 5 credits, quick preview for iteration.

The result reads as a cinematic turnaround clip — same character rotating with the camera, not 30 different characters spliced together.

Multi-shot mode burns 4× the credits of a single image generation. Sometimes the simpler Composite mode is enough:

• Composite mode generates ONE image with 4-5 panels laid out side by side (= front / 3-4 / side / back / head row). Costs 1× credits but the character consistency across panels is at the mercy of the model — sometimes the back-view face looks like a different person.
• Multi-shot mode generates 4 separate images at a locked seed. Each panel is independently high-quality and the character stays the same. Costs 4× credits.

Rule of thumb: use Composite for previews + idea exploration. Use Multi-shot when you commit to a character.

If you're making:

• An animated short film → you need the protagonist locked across every shot
• An influencer content series → you need the persona consistent across 50+ images
• A game character → you need a full turnaround reference sheet
• A comic / manga page → the same character has to read as the same character in every panel

Character consistency is the limit that holds most AI image workflows back from professional output. Multi-shot seed-lock removes that limit.
