Maintain brand colors and logo placement across all variations."* - **Technical Settings:** Sequence Mode enabled, various aspect ratios for different platforms, 2K resolution. - **Output:** A complete marketing package with platform-optimized visuals that maintain brand identity.

This workflow saves marketing teams weeks of planning and production, allowing them to test multiple campaign approaches simultaneously before committing to a direction.

3. Immersive World-Building with Environmental Variations

Architects, designers and concept artists can quickly create comprehensive worlds by generating environmental variations from a single location concept.

- **Input Setup:** Upload your base environment concept art. - **Prompt Example:** "*Generate a sequence showing this modern forest villa with floor-to-ceiling windows under 8 different conditions: dawn with gentle morning mist filtering through trees, bright midday with sunlight dappling through forest canopy, golden hour with warm light illuminating the white façade, twilight with interior lights glowing against darkening forest, stormy weather with rain streaming down the glass windows, winter with light snow dusting the geometric rooflines, autumn with colorful leaves contrasting the minimalist architecture, and an elegant evening gathering with guests and ambient lighting. Maintain the clean lines, cantilevered terraces, and architectural details throughout*." - **Technical Settings:** Sequence Mode with Max Image Count set to 8, 16:9 aspect ratio, 2K resolution. - **Output:** Eight variations of the same architectural space under different conditions, perfect for comprehensive environment documentation.

This approach allows designers to preview how their environments will appear across different scenarios without manually creating each variation—significantly streamlining the art direction process.

4. Advanced Character Identity Preservation Across Art Styles

Artists and game studios can transform characters across radically different art styles while maintaining core identity—perfect for game remasters or stylistic experiments.

- **Input Setup:** Upload 3-5 reference images of your character from different angles. - **Prompt Example:** "*Transform this character into 6 different art styles while preserving exact facial features, body proportions, and key costume elements: 1) pixel art suitable for 16-bit game, 2) watercolor illustration, 3) comic book cover with dramatic lighting, 4) 3D rendered model, 5) anime style with cel shading, 6) photorealistic cinematic style.*" - **Technical Settings:** Sequence Mode enabled, 1:1 aspect ratio, 2K resolution. - **Output:** Six stylistically diverse but instantly recognizable versions of the same character.

This capability allows creative teams to experiment with how their characters would translate across different media formats without commissioning multiple artists.

5. Seamless Product Integration in Complex Environments

Product designers and marketers can visualize products in elaborate real-world contexts, creating convincing integration that highlights functionality.

- **Input Setup:** Upload your sneaker render or photo as the primary reference. - **Prompt Example:** "*Create a sequence showing this sneaker being used in 5 different urban environments: narrow European cobblestone street with historic buildings, busy Asian metropolis with skyscrapers, California beach boardwalk with palm trees, snowy Canadian city with winter conditions, and Amsterdam canal with bridges. Show the product being naturally used by appropriate wearers in each setting. Maintain perfect product details across all images."* - **Technical Settings:** Sequence Mode enabled, 16:9 aspect ratio, 2K resolution. - **Output:** Five contextual product visualizations showing authentic use cases in different environments.

This technique allows product teams to create compelling marketing materials that demonstrate versatility across different user scenarios—without expensive photo shoots in multiple locations.

Let's also explore how Seedream 4.0 can help with consistent product visualization using a "red jacket" as our example:

6. Interactive Narrative Storyboarding

Game designers and filmmakers can rapidly visualize branching narrative possibilities by generating multiple scene outcomes from a single starting point.

- **Input Setup:** Upload a reference image of your scene's starting point showing the cartoon blue king and cartoon red king. - **Prompt Example:** "*Generate a sequence showing 4 different scenarios with just the cartoon blue king and cartoon red king: 1) kings shaking hands and forming an alliance, 2) kings playing chess together in the throne room, 3) kings sharing a royal feast at a banquet table, 4) kings standing back-to-back defending the castle from invaders. Maintain character designs, bright cartoon aesthetic, and simple backgrounds across all variations*." - **Technical Settings:** Sequence Mode enabled, 16:9 cinematic aspect ratio, 2K resolution. - **Output:** Four narrative possibilities flowing from the same starting point, perfect for discussing storytelling options with teams.

This approach enables narrative designers to visualize multiple story branches simultaneously, facilitating more effective decision-making during story development.

- **Input Setup:** Upload 1 reference images of your character. - **Prompt Example:** "*Create a sequence showing this character at 4 different life stages: 1) as a young child with playful expression and casual clothes, 2) current teenage form, 3) as a mature 50-year-old with confident posture and professional attire, 4) as an 80-year-old elder with weathered features but familiar eyes. Maintain consistent facial structure, distinctive features, and appropriate background settings for each life stage*." - **Technical Settings:** Sequence Mode enabled, 16:9 portrait aspect ratio, 2K resolution. - **Output:** Four-stage character evolution showing consistent aging progression.

This capability allows designers to create compelling character arcs with visual consistency that would traditionally require extensive concept art development.

8. Advanced Costume Design Iteration

Character designers can explore multiple costume variations simultaneously while maintaining perfect character identity and proportions.

- **Input Setup:** Upload your character with base costume. - **Prompt Example:** "*Generate a sequence showing this exact same character wearing 6 different costume variations: 1) battle-damaged version with torn fabric and dented armor, 2) formal ceremonial version with ornate decorations, 3) lightweight stealth version in dark colors, 4) winter adaptation with fur-lined elements, 5) desert adaptation with lighter fabrics and head coverings, 6) royal/elite version with precious materials. Maintain exact same body proportions, facial features, and pose across all variations*." - **Technical Settings:** Sequence Mode enabled, 16:9 aspect ratio, 2K resolution. - **Output:** Six costume variations with perfect character consistency.
