Prepare the input
Choose reference images you have permission to use. For Cartoon Me: Realistic & 3D Character Portrait, prioritize a clear subject and avoid unrelated people or private details in the frame.

Confirm subject count, framing, scene, and lighting before adding finishing language. Resolve conflicts such as close-up versus full-body composition.

- Keep the white background minimalist, refined, and free from unnecessary props or visual clutter.
- The realistic woman must appear naturally seated on the floor with anatomically correct posture, limbs, hands, and clothing folds.
- The caricature's pointing gesture must be anatomically clear, playful, and directed toward the realistic version.
- Both faces and hairstyles must be immediately recognizable as two representations of the person in the uploaded reference photo.

Why the editable controls matter
Gender
Required identity direction for the reference subject.
People count
Default is a single uploaded reference person.
Identity or subject drift
Reduce competing style language, improve the reference, and separate stable traits from pose, gaze, and expression.
Composition breaks
Check whether crop, shot distance, aspect ratio, subject count, and required objects can all be satisfied in one frame.

Name a motivated light source and believable material behavior before adding grain, grading, sharpness, or resolution terms.
