New .char format enables consistent AI character generation across Flux2 and Krea 2

A new unified character format, dubbed '.char', has been developed to enable consistent character generation across different AI image models. This format has been successfully implemented with Flux2 and Krea 2, with potential for broader compatibility. The '.char' format works by directly feeding reference images into Flux2's native channel, while for Krea 2, it trains a small LoRA adapter for each character. AI

IMPACT Standardizes character assets for AI image generation, potentially improving workflow efficiency and consistency.
