# Making your own Style 

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.\\
  </Step>

  <Step title="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. 
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips & FAQ

<Tip>
  Build **multiple smaller styles** instead of one large mixed set — this helps Vizcom interpret each style more accurately.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Use **simple backgrounds** in your curated images to keep Vizcom focused on the subject matter rather than complex environments.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  If you’re not happy with results, **duplicate and refine** the style by adding or removing images. Curating the right image set is key.
</Tip>

### 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.
