The Realtime Canvas is built for rapid concepting - whether you’re exploring ideas for characters, environments, or game items, it gives you a fast way to bring your thoughts to life.
Instead of typing out prompts and waiting for generations the Realtime Canvas lets you sketch, edit, and prompt in the same space - and see changes live. It’s a more interactive way to concept quickly, especially during the early stages of creative development.
What you can do with Realtime
Sketch directly on the canvas: Use built-in tools to block out shapes, layouts, or characters. Realtime then transforms your sketch into a fully rendered image.
Use pre-built or custom styles: Choose from a library of ready-made art styles built for games, or bring your own custom-trained style into the canvas.
Adjust prompt and creativity live: Fine-tune the influence your prompt or style has on the output. This gives you flexibility while keeping generations on track. The canvas updates instantly, so you can try different ideas without starting over.
Track every version: All realtime edits and generations are automatically saved. Scroll back through versions to compare results or restore earlier concepts.
Send assets to forge: Once you’re happy with your concept, you can save it directly into your session feed for further editing, upscaling, or 3D export.
Once you're done ideating, just download any generation to your Layer Drive for sharing, feedback, or use in production.
UI Overview
Realtime Forging Panel
This is where you’d guide the Realtime Generation with different options.
Style Selection | Only SDXL based styles and exploration models are supported for Realtime generation. |
Generation | You can choose to draw/sketch yourself or simply use a prompt. |
Prompting | You can enhance the prompt to be more descriptive or select the dice icon to generate a random prompt idea |
Creativity Levels | Creativity determines how much your drawing guides the generation. 0% matches your drawing near 1:1 and 100% is letting AI take the wheel fully. |
Aspect Ratio | Choose between our preset aspect ratios to match your desired image output |

Realtime Generation Toolbox
This is where you’d take your Realtime generations and either create variations, bring into a 2D forge session, refine generations, or export directly. The 2 tools on the left adjust your generations. The central toolbar indicates what you can do with assets.
New Variation. Get an alternative generation from the current one
Pause. This pauses Realtime generations
Edit in Canvas. Open your Realtime asset in a Canvas session to further edit
Create Variations. Use your Realtime asset as a reference image for 2D Forge
Upscale. This is where you’d create a 3D model from your concept art
Create 3D Model. Convert your Realtime concept into a full 3D model
Save. Save your work to a Session, Drive, or Desktop
Open History*.
*This feature is very helpful for when you need to view a Realtime generation from a few minutes ago. You can easily go back to what you created before, before you made major changes.
