OpenArt's consistent characters, read against a series cast

OpenArt's pages count consistent characters by plan, up to about thirteen on Starter and about forty on Plus, in a studio of more than a hundred image, video and audio models. Of the nine questions this register asks a series tool, the pages read answer the character one, and they answer it with a number. From 8 source pages, read 2026-09-25 to 2026-10-25; no maker pays to be listed.

Fig. 1 Each kind of page answers one half; the register prints the half it was given.

1What this register already reads

Eight ways the register's tools say a cast is held, from a multi-pose sheet to a library saved for reuse. Each line below is dated to the day its page was read.

2Where OpenArt writes its characters down

On openart.ai the plan list is where a cast gets mentioned. The studio is presented as a home for still and moving pictures built on over a hundred models, sound included, and characters show up there as a count: consistent characters up to about thirteen on the Starter plan and about forty on Plus. Two story tools, Director and One-Click Story Creation, are named on every plan, next to an image editing suite and personalised models, and commercial use rights are listed from Plus.

A count is an unusual way to state consistency. Most of the tools this register files describe a method — a sheet, a library, a reference attached to a shot — and leave the number open. OpenArt's pages state the number and leave the method unsaid, which tells a series planner how big a cast the plan holds before it tells them how that cast is held.

3How the register's tools say a cast is held

The register's character readings fall into a few shapes. OiiOii builds a multi-pose sheet, front, three-quarter, side and back, with several expressions. AutoWeeb locks character sheets into a library, and Animate AI designs characters once and saves them for reuse across episodes. GenCartoon and Showrunner state the outcome rather than the method: the same characters across episodes, characters and worlds that persist. MagicLight and PixVerse name consistency as a feature. SceneMixer attaches a reference sheet to every shot.

None of those readings is a count. A sheet or a library answers how a face survives from one episode to the next; a cap answers how many faces a plan can keep. A series needs both answers, and the register prints whichever one a page gave instead of inferring the other.

4What thirteen and forty mean for a series

An animated series seldom needs forty recurring faces, but it needs more than its leads. A fantasy cast with a hero, a mentor, a rival, two companions and a household runs past half a dozen before the first village appears, and each of them has to look the same in episode six as in episode one. About thirteen on the first plan covers a small cast; about forty covers an ensemble with recurring extras.

What the pages read do not say is whether a slot frees up when a character leaves the show, or whether a character kept on one plan carries over to another. Those are the questions a long series runs into, and the register leaves them open rather than guessing at an answer.

5What the threads ask about consistency

The question the material behind this column counted more often than any other is how to improve character consistency in AI videos: 1,028 near-identical threads, filed under character consistency. It is a question about method, asked by people who already have a cast and keep losing it between shots.

A plan count answers a different question from the one the threads ask, and the gap is worth seeing plainly. The threads want to know how a face is held; a count says how many can be. The register's readings above are the nearest the pages come to the first answer, quoted in each maker's own words.

6What each maker writes on its own pages

What each maker's own pages state, read 2026-10-13.

OpenArt	An AI creator studio for images and video, with 100+ image, video and audio models	Consistent characters, up to ~13 on Starter and ~40 on Plus	Director and One-Click Story Creation on every plan	2026-10-13

Inclusion rule. Rows are the makers this page reads, each on its own public pages, plus one pipeline this register follows. A cell carries that maker's own wording for the point; a page that does not address the point is written as unstated rather than read as a denial. Order. Alphabetical by maker name.

7Counted in the threads

One question from the material behind this column, the one it counted more often than any other. It is about holding a face, which is what this page is about.

The question, how many near-identical threads the collection found, and the theme it sits in.

8When the other tool suits the show better

The cast size has to be known up front — Consistent characters are counted per plan, about thirteen on Starter and about forty on Plus, so a series can be sized before it is started.
The show starts from a story tool — Director and One-Click Story Creation are named on every plan, which suits a series that begins from an idea rather than a written episode.
The look is settled in stills first — An image editing suite and personalised models sit beside the video models, which suits a show whose characters are drawn before they move.
