Building characters straight from MiniMax H3 T2V + R2VA, no more SDXL anchors

The author ditched the old SDXL+KREA2 anchor-image pipeline and went straight to MiniMax H3's T2V plus R2VA for character generation: rooftop actors were incepted via T2V, cleaned up with V2V, then detailed with an anime reference for the pilot's plugsuit. The cockpit scene was generated purely from a prompt, with the HUD/mecha-kaiju referenced from a 15s battle render. They also experimented with transferring a Kaiju's look onto a woman's armor. One caveat: R2VA sometimes makes actors wider/squished, so FL2VA is safer if you don't want re-envisioning.
