How to Use Master Reference Assets in Luma

1️⃣ Create Your Master Reference Assets Pack

At the start of a project, define and group:

• Final logo file

• Approved brand colors

• Character reference images

• Product reference renders

• Tone-of-voice document

• Key messaging lines

Place them clearly on your board in a dedicated frame labeled:

Master Reference Assets or something similar that you will tell the Agent to reference as its source of truth

Keep them visually separated from exploration zones, label each asset clearly, so if you have 3 versions of your logo that you've uploaded to your board, label each version clearly e.g. "logo01, "logo02", "logo03" that way you can give the Agent a clear path to understanding which asset you may be talking about in your written instructions/prompt.

2️⃣ Establish What Is Immovable

Explicitly define:

• What can change?

• What cannot change?

Example:

Can change:

• Lighting

• Background

• Camera angle

Cannot change:

• Character face

• Logo proportions

• Brand typography

• Product design

Clarity here prevents drift later.

3️⃣ Anchor Every Major Iteration

When generating new versions, say things like:

• Use the Master Reference character.

• Preserve logo placement from Master References.

• Maintain exact product dimensions from Master Reference.

• Keep brand color system consistent with Master Reference Assets.

This keeps each branch tethered to the source.

4️⃣ Avoid Iteration Chains Without Re-Anchoring

Common mistake:

Version 1 → tweak
Version 2 → tweak
Version 3 → tweak
Version 4 → tweak

By Version 6, the character no longer matches the original.

Instead:

Every few iterations, restate:

Reconfirm against Master Reference Assets.

This resets drift.

5️⃣ Use Master References Across Modalities

When transforming formats:

• Image → Video

• Video → Stylized version

• English → Localized voiceover

• Static → Animated

Always re-anchor.

Example Prompt:

Animate this scene while preserving the character proportions and product design from the Master Reference Assets.

Multimodal transformation increases drift risk — so anchoring becomes even more important.

6️⃣ Protect Brand Integrity at Scale

When generating large batches:

• 20 hooks

• 10 video variants

• 5 tonal versions

Keep brand identity consistent by referencing:

• Approved messaging

• Tone guidelines

• Visual system

Scale should multiply reach — not multiply inconsistency.

7️⃣ Use Evaluation as a Final Check

Before delivering:

• Compare outputs side-by-side with Master References.

• Ask the Agent to evaluate alignment.

• Confirm that no key elements drifted.

This is especially important for:

• Enterprise brand work

• Character-driven campaigns

• Product visualizations

• Franchise-style creative systems

The Core Principle

Exploration expands.
Identity anchors.

Luma enables infinite creative branching — but the most professional work always maintains a stable center.

Your Master Reference Assets are that center.
