Higgsfield's launch post presents Soul Cast, which builds customizable AI actors that stay consistent across generations in Cinema Studio 2. Actors are set up by genre, budget, era, archetype, identity, physical appearance, details and outfit, and the post advises building each character separately before using them across a project's scenes. It lists uses from indie films and recurring series characters to brand campaigns, agencies, e-learning presenters and music videos.
