Make a character

Read picsart-video-rules first. One job: one character, with no film, as one approved sheet saved to the user's Assets. A film's cast is movie-producer's; a single picture of someone is generate-media's.

Before acting on a stage, load the skills in its row that apply to this job, also when the work resumes there.

1. Who they are

Draft the character's descriptor from the user's words, as film-cast-design's Descriptors says: line-keyed, concrete, what you invented marked as a proposal. Give them a name and an @tag from it. They have no voice line: this character is not cast to speak.

When the user brings a photo of the real person, the photo is the character, as film-cast-design's references/own-photos.md says: skip stage 2, and keep the photo's own style.

2. Their look

ASK with picsart_film_choose_cast, with no film and this one character: their @tag as id, name, who they are as role, and the descriptor's lines as story. The card opens on those lines. Then act on film_cast_chooser_feedback as film-cast-design's The starting point says: story keeps your draft, preset and person pass their reference on unchanged with only the fromStory paths added from your draft, and describe rewrites the draft from their words.

3. The quote

1. Choose the image model with picsart_model_catalog (image input too when a photo feeds it).
2. Compile the sheet with picsart_film_compile_prompt, kind: "sheet", that model as model, and the descriptor in reference. The look is the Picsart canvas's style line: look: { "customTone": "clean photoreal reference sheet — realistic materials, soft even light ~5500K" }. With a photo, the photo's style is the style: add "usePhoto": true, "customMedium": "the reference image's own medium, kept as it is" to reference, and pass look: { "customTone": "the exact art style of the reference image — its medium, rendering, linework, shading, palette and level of detail, with no realism added" }. Never leave look out: a sheet with no style line is refused. Send the prompt, negativePrompt and aspectRatio as returned, at the model's highest resolution.
3. picsart_preflight the call and quote it, then SPEND (quote it in one line, then get the yes with your host's own question tool, such as AskUserQuestion, "Yes, go ahead" / "Yes, up to N credits for this task" / "No", never as a typed question; only where the host has no such tool, those options numbered in one message; unless a spend limit the user stated covers it: N credits or an explicit no-limit ("as much as needed"), never inferred from words like "go ahead". Within it, ask nothing: quote it in one line ("About 8 credits; 12 of 20 left after this"), call it, then say what it spent and what remains, keeping a running total that includes failed calls, and stop to ask before the first call that would cross it. A money amount is asked once to restate it in credits; in unattended pace, never ask: call only with a consent or a stated spend limit already recorded, otherwise write the quote to pendingSpends and stop, as picsart-video-rules says).

4. The sheet

Generate it with picsart_generate and follow the job. Then REVIEW it in picsart_film_review_assets, and read the review as film-cast-design's Reading the review says: a change is surgical, and a new picture is quoted on its own.

5. Save it

Cut the approved sheet into its four views, as film-cast-design's references/views.md says, and look at each. Save with picsart_film_save_asset: tag, assetType: "character", name, descriptor, sheetVersion: "v1", voice: { "nonSpeaking": true }, the whole sheet as portraitUrl, the views as referenceImages (the close-up first), status: "locked", and no projectFolderUid. It lands in their Assets under Assets/Library/Characters, where Picsart's canvas finds it too. Read locked, never saved.

DELIVER the sheet's downloadUrl and say in one line where the character is kept. Offer one next step in a sentence (a film with them, another outfit as a new version), and do it only on a yes.
