What you bring
A name and a short bio, or a script to pick a speaking part from. Add the facts that must never change: a scar, an eye colour, a hairline, a signature accessory. A reference photo is optional; if it shows a real person, it must be you or someone who has given permission.
Locked traits are written into every step, so a scar on the left stays on the left and the hair never changes colour.
Questions
What is a character turnaround sheet?+
It is the reference page animators and costume teams use: the same character from the front, three-quarter, profile and back, plus head shots, all at the same scale. Character Kit makes the figures with an image model and then lines them up with code, so heights and the ground line match.
How does it keep the face the same in every step?+
The locked headshot is sent as the identity reference with every request, and your locked traits are written into every prompt. Face structure, eyes, skin marks and hair are kept; retouching from the reference is not.
Can I start from a photo of a real person?+
Yes, if it is you or someone who has given you permission. You confirm that before the photo is used. Do not use photos of public figures or people who have not agreed.
Can I go back and redo a step?+
Yes. Every step keeps its takes, and you can step back, redo one sheet or one look, and lock a different take. Later steps use whatever is locked when they run.
Where can I use the saved character?+
It appears under My characters. PopNow Film Maker imports the face, the locked traits, the turnaround and the looks; Video Swap, Influencer and PopNow Talking Avatar use the locked face as the reference picture.
How much does a full kit cost?+
A full kit with four face takes, the turnaround, one look, one voice and an 8-second screen test costs about 716 credits. Every step shows its own price before you confirm.
What is the difference between a turnaround and an expression sheet?+
A turnaround shows the same costume from several angles at one scale, which animators and costume teams use for silhouette and proportions. An expression sheet keeps the angle fixed and changes the acting, from neutral and joy to contempt and quiet resolve.
Can I redo only one part of the kit?+
Yes. Each sheet in the turnaround step has its own redo, each look board is separate, and new face or voice takes are added next to the old ones so you can compare before locking.
Why is the mirror switch sometimes off?+
If any locked trait mentions a side, such as a scar on the left cheek or a piercing in the right ear, mirroring would move it to the wrong side, so the switch starts off and you decide.
Which scenes work best for a screen test?+
A close-up read or a slow push-in shows the face and lip sync most clearly. A walk-up or an action beat is better when you want to check costume movement and how the character carries themselves.
Does saving the character copy the files?+
No. My characters stores references to the generated files, the locked traits and the looks, so the same assets appear in PopNow Film Maker, Video Swap, Influencer and PopNow Talking Avatar without extra storage.
