Character & Background Extraction
Parse story.md to extract unique characters and locations, then write detailed
image-generation prompts. Save as characters.json and backgrounds.json.
Instructions
Characters
- Identify every unique character mentioned across all scenes.
- For each, generate a detailed image prompt covering:
- Physical appearance (age, build, skin tone, hair, eyes)
- Clothing and accessories (era/setting-appropriate)
- Expression and pose (neutral, full body, for reference sheet)
- Art style suffix:
"3D animated character, Pixar-style rendering, full body, character reference sheet, white background, high detail, soft lighting"
- Assign IDs sequentially:
char_001,char_002, ... - Record which scene numbers each character appears in.
