Rivalries
Aggregate head-to-head across the arena
Highlighted challenges
Man and Car in California
Combines two references (a person and a car) into one believable driving scene. It checks whether the model keeps the man’s identity and the car’s appearance while placing them convincingly on the coastline with matched lighting and perspective.
Bald man challenge
A targeted edit test. Adding a realistic head of hair requires a believable hairline and texture while keeping the face, expression, and lighting unchanged. Common failures are wig-like or pasted-on hair and subtle changes to the underlying face.
