Making your own Style - Vizcom Docs

Create a custom aesthetic

Create a custom aesthetic that teaches Vizcom your unique visual style — for consistent, brand-aligned renderings across projects.

What is a Style?

A style is a personalized model built from images that reflect your design language, materials, lighting, and visual intent. Once trained, Vizcom uses this style to generate visuals that consistently adhere to your specific aesthetic — saving time and elevating quality. Styles are ideal for designers, studios, and teams who want their renderings to reflect a distinctive, consistent style that standard render presets can’t provide. Create styles when you:

• Want visuals that match your brand or personal aesthetic
• Need consistent visual language across multiple files or projects
• Are exploring a unique style direction and want Vizcom to learn it
• Work in teams and want a shared style basis for all outputs

Unlike default styles, custom styles capture the nuance of your past work, textures, color choices, forms, and lighting preferences — helping every new render look familiar to your vision.

How to use Styles

1. Curate your image set
   To teach Vizcom your style, curate a cohesive set of 4–30 images that reflect your aesthetic.

   • Choose images with common visual qualities (lighting, material, color).
   • Prefer high-resolution, un-cropped images with clear subjects.
   • Include multiple views if you want versatile 3D rendering performance.
   • Avoid mixing sketches with photos in one style — keep fidelity consistent.

2. Create a style in Vizcom

   • Open a new workbench file
   • Click the + in the toolbar to open Insert
   • Add a style block to your canvas
   • Click upload inside the style block and add your curated images
   • Drag images in directly from the canvas if already uploaded.

3. Train your style

   • Once your images are added and named, click Train.

   Training teaches Vizcom to recognize the core elements of your aesthetic and typically completes in a few minutes.

4. Test your style
   Evaluate how well your style captures your style by generating outputs:

   • Upload a sketch or image to Workbench or 2D Studio.
   • Attach a Prompt block to it.
   • Open the style selector and choose your custom style.
   • Adjust drawing influence (100% is stricter to the sketch; lower values let the style inform more creative cues).
   • Generate and review results.

5. Publish your style (Enterprise)
   Once you’re satisfied, you can publish your style to your personal library so it’s accessible in any file across your workspace.

   • Click the Publish button next to the style.
   • Customize name, thumbnail, or visible tags.
   • Finalize — your style is now reusable anywhere.

Tips & FAQ

• Build multiple smaller styles instead of one large mixed set — this helps Vizcom interpret each style more accurately.
• Use simple backgrounds in your curated images to keep Vizcom focused on the subject matter rather than complex environments.
• If you’re not happy with results, duplicate and refine the style by adding or removing images. Curating the right image set is key.

FAQ

• What makes a good style image? High-resolution, consistent images that share visual qualities similar to what you want to generate.
• How many images should I include? Aim for 4–30 images to give Vizcom enough context without diluting style clarity.
• Can anyone use a published style? Published styles are available to your workspace.
• What if training fails? Try retraining, or adjust the image set; sometimes anomalies or connectivity affects training success.

Next Steps

• Apply Your style to sketches and renders to see your custom visual language in action.
• Explore Drawing Influence — fine-tune how strongly your style shapes each generation.
• Use Color Variation to create quick alternate colorways from your style’s color insights.
• Share with Your Team — publish styles so collaborators can generate with the same style foundation.
