Why Draw Inside Vizcom?

Drawing in Vizcom lets you:

• Refine form and proportion before rendering
• Guide material and surface details with precision
• Make quick changes without restarting your generation

Instead of starting from a blank prompt, your drawing defines the form, proportion, and direction of the render.

​

Core Drawing Tools

Vizcom’s tools are designed to feel familiar while keeping you in control.

​

Brush - Keyboard shortcut [B]

Start with the Brush tool to create line drawings and detailed sketch work By default, the brush is set up for clean line drawing, but you can adjust:

• Brush size
• Opacity
• Color

Modify settings from the top toolbar or by right-clicking on the canvas.

​

Paint Bucket

Use the Paint Bucket to quickly fill enclosed line work with a selected color. You can find the Paint Bucket tool under the brush. This is ideal for blocking in surfaces, defining materials, or quickly testing colorways before rendering.

​
