composition keeps shifting when I generate new styles despite using --oref
Hi all. Im trying to recreate a battlefield cross (military memorial subject) with dramatic lighting and a specific angle (2 boots, dog tag necklace, M4 rifle, combat helmet). I want to lock in a solid 3D-looking base image and then apply different styles and moods to it without the composition falling apart.
Here's my workflow so far:
  • Generated a 3D model of the subject using Rodin (text-to-3D), took a screenshot at the angle I wanted, and used that as my --oref input
  • Tried varying --ow weights extensively — didn't help much
  • Used --sref codes on their own and combined with seeds....composition still drifts wildly
  • combined an image reference + style reference of the same subject I got close, but the moment I run it through Style Creator, everything shifts
  • Took edits into NanoBanana for inpainting, and manually adjusted things in Photoshop, but that breaks the iterative workflow I need
  • Currently experimenting with Weavy (node-based workflow combining multiple models) to see if I can get a more stable base
Has anyone cracked a reliable way to lock composition when it's a "custom" composition and not a single subject (I'm assuming MJ is seeing this as possibly 5 subjects: 2 boots, dog tag necklace, M4 rifle, combat helmet)?
