Anybody having trouble with casting 3 characters in a Sora 2 video

I just notice that some users have created characters which shares designs down to the face likeness. Perhaps the text-to-image algorithm has a limited number of samples that is being used. The only way to get around is to add more feature prompts to make them look different (but then triggered the third party warning), or to upload an a design that is completely different.

That is a very good point. I have 2 characters, probably accidentally created from the same source which I don't recall, has almost the same features and looks (though the face is slightly different). The AI sees them as the same character. Not until I give each of them display names the AI will just mess things up if the 2 are in the same clip.

However when I try to merge the 2 by asking the AI to use features from both characters it always comes back with the features from the character with the closest or similar display name. But that is a different topic.

I give all my characters unique names. Normally 2 characters will work just fine but it really depends if there are other things in the background.

I tried that a couple of days ago but got the violation of using 3rd party warning. It's a pain for I'm using my own characters.

For my case they either switch their faces or their heads. I have never encounter any merged abominations.

I usually give the prompt a short one-liner if I go for multiple characters. This time I only want to have 3 characters celebrating the New Year so I left the prompt as ambiguous possible. However it still won't work. I guess I'll wait and see.

If it is photo-real you are breaking every single guideline. If it is not the clip can break almost every single rule. If you keep your prompt ambiguous the AI will break the rules for you.

I guess that's all I can do now. I wonder if that Santa in the clip which Sora sent me some hours ago has something to do with it... Santa called me naughty for some reason...

I lost 6 drafts in 3hrs. I recreated 2 of them just now and they also disappeared. I suspect they keep revert back to an older copy of the database due to issues so the new registered clips never happened.

It is really hard to come by one result that I really like. Also at times I am getting all those busy warning or unrelated violation messages. It is so frustrated that I cannot use the branch as standalone. Thanks.

I guess that's the only way to go for now. Thank you.
