PixelDojo’s October 28 update adds character design through picture tiles, four candidate takes and 31 performance presets. Character Studio is included in paid plans starting at $10 monthly.

A recurring character needs to be recognizable before it needs a dance routine. PixelDojo’s October 28 Character Studio update adds a visual way to choose that starting identity: pick traits on picture tiles, generate four takes and keep the one you want to develop. The dated release describes 200 looks across character type, body, face, hair and style. October 28 entry.
This extends a studio that already saves character references. The new design step could help a creator who knows the broad look of a host but struggles to describe every feature in a prompt. A reference is also a useful review point: agree on the face before feedback has to cover identity, movement, framing and timing together.
Settle the character before choosing the performance
The update adds 31 Perform presets and links a character into ads or films. Those choices create a route from still design to motion, but a menu of performances is not evidence that every take will preserve the face or suit your project.
For a proposed channel mascot, first inspect a portrait and a full-body frame against the saved reference. Decide which details must remain: eye shape, costume, proportions or a distinguishing mark. Only then try one short movement. This is an illustrative review sequence; we did not generate or compare outputs.
The public Character Studio page still explains text and photo creation alongside saved references. We have not checked the new controls in a signed-in account or established a region-by-region rollout. The dated changelog supports the announcement, rather than a claim that every reader already has access.
A subscription is the starting budget
Lite pricing is $10 monthly with 160 credits. The studio page says generation costs vary by model and resolution and appear before a run. Neither page establishes one fixed price for every new performance. Selected unlimited Relax modes should not be read as a promise that every character workflow costs no credits.
Start with a face worth keeping, then inspect the quote for one motion attempt. If the still identity needs work, another video is an expensive way to discover it. For the next step, see our brand-kit and ad-workflow coverage and output evaluation guide.
Common questions
Questions people ask.
- Is character consistency new to PixelDojo?
- Saved character references already existed. This update adds a visual character-design step and performance choices; it does not establish independently tested consistency.
- Does the $10 plan make every performance free?
- No. Lite includes 160 credits and generation prices depend on the selected work. Check the displayed quote; selected Relax allowances do not cover every possible job.
