AI Image Workflow

Real browser capture of the AI Image workflow

Overview

This tutorial shows the AI Image workflow inside the live confBuild editor. The screenshots were captured on March 6, 2026 and focus on the safe preparation stage before any image generation starts.

Project

Editable Carport project with the live 3D view available as render source

Workflow

Open View, choose AI Image, prepare prompt and optional style reference

Goal

Turn the current scene into a polished AI-generated render

Step 1: Open AI Image from the View menu

The AI render workflow starts from the View menu rather than the Tools menu. This keeps presentation-focused actions close to the viewport controls.

View menu with the AI Image action

AI Image sits in the View tools column next to other scene-inspection actions, so rendering stays part of the visual review workflow.

Step 2: Prepare the prompt and optional reference image

After opening the dialog, define the visual goal in natural language. If you need a certain visual style, attach a reference image before starting the render.

AI Image dialog with prompt and reference upload

The prompt field describes the target render, while the upload area helps guide the AI toward a specific material, lighting, or brand style.

Step 3: Make the prompt specific before generating

The best results come from precise prompts. Mention lighting, materials, camera mood, and environment so the model has clear visual guidance before you click Generate Image.
