When forging an asset via the prompt box in Layer, you can add a reference to further guide the generation. Here’s a breakdown of the reference types:
Variation
Forge Reference: Generate a variation based on this reference image.
Character Focused
Character Face: Use this reference when updating or modifying a character’s face.
Character Pose: Use this reference type when using a Custom Trained Character Style
Structure
Structure: Use the structure information from this image to create something with a similar depth perspective.
Tip: Using structure for recoloring a particular object is a great way to achieve desired results.
Sketch
B&W Sketch: Utilize a black and white drawn image as a reference to guide the generation.
Color Sketch: Use a colored sketch as a reference, aiming to match the colors.
Outline
Canny Edge: Closely trace the edges of your reference image.
