VFX artist asks: lock 1000-frame CG cat animation to a hero render without drift

A VFX practitioner asks for help: they have a 1,000+ frame low-detail/grey-mesh CG cat animation as a structural base, plus matching high-detail hero renders at the exact target angles. They want a ComfyUI pipeline that transfers the reference's fur, texture and shading across the whole shot.

The hard part is temporal consistency across batch chunks: locking the fur pattern, color and lighting to a single reference from frame 1 to 1000 with no crawling or morphing. Their candidate stack: AnimateDiff + IP-Adapter Advanced / ControlNet Depth + Tile; they're asking for concrete node combinations and workflow JSONs.
