Sketch to Image

As AI image generation rapidly evolves, so has the ability to create vast quantities of images at unprecedented speeds. However many have discovered that quantity doesn’t always equal quality or accuracy.  The disconnect between a user’s vision and the AI image generator’s output has been a persistent challenge, often resulting in a frustrating cycle of thousands of regenerations. 

With NEX’s Ikon-1, you can control image generation using input images. The ability to quickly render and visualize your own sketches has become a game changer for designers and creatives alike.

Beginning Sketch Visualization

Before diving into AI powered Sketch to Image, the quality of your image significantly impacts the final result. We recommend the sketch to have dark and clearly defined lines. In addition, it’s crucial to consider the file size and resolution to ensure that the AI can process the image correctly. High-resolution files are preferable for maintaining quality.

Using Sketch to Image for Visualization

There are endless use cases for AI sketch to image renders. The first example is an architectural visualization.

  1. Start by uploading your sketch using the action bar below.

  1. Type in your prompt in the prompt box in the action bar. As vividly as possible, describe what you want the visualization to look like. Try to avoid action words in the beginning of your prompt (ie. create a.. imagine..)
