It's similar to the style reference feature, except instead of matching style, it makes your characters match your Character Reference (--cref) image
I used the image on the left as my character reference
Prompts in ALT

It also works across image styles, which is pretty sick and very fun to play with

You can use the Character Weight parameter (--cw N) to control the level of character detail you carry over.
At lower values like --cw 0 it will focus mostly on the face, but at higher values like --cw 100 it'll pull more of the outfit in too

On the left is the character reference
On the right is the character reference used in a totally different prompt that included style references
It's definitely not perfect, but it's wayyy better than any other solution we've had previously

You can use more than one reference too, and start to blend things together like I did here
I used both examples in a single prompt here (i'll go into this in more detail in a future post
It also works through inpainting (I'll do a post on that too)
6/7
NOTES:
> precision is currently limited
> --cref works in niji 6 & v6 models
> --cw 100 is default (face, hair, & clothes)
> works best with MJ generated characters
> wont copy exact dimples/freckles/or logos
Messing w/ this all night tn
I'll let you know what else I figure out
