Inspiration mode
Inspiration mode is text-to-image — generate concepts, moodboards, and fresh ideas from a written description when you don't have an image to start from.
Inspiration mode creates images from a description alone. There's no input image — you're generating something new. Vizzy switches to it automatically when you describe a scene without uploading anything.
When to use it
Reach for Inspiration when you're at the idea stage:
- Early concepts before any geometry exists — "a lakeside cabin, charred timber and glass, Nordic minimalism"
- Moodboards and references to set a direction
- Style exploration — "the same lobby in five different material palettes"
- Marketing and content imagery from scratch
If you already have a sketch, model, or photo to transform, use Render mode instead — it'll stay true to your geometry.
Writing a strong concept prompt
With no input image to anchor it, your words do all the work. Be vivid and specific about:
- Subject — "a single-story courtyard house", "a boutique hotel lobby"
- Materials & palette — "travertine, walnut, brushed brass"
- Light & atmosphere — "soft overcast", "warm low sun", "moody and cinematic"
- Medium — "editorial photograph", "watercolor concept", "clay model render"
Not sure of the direction? Ask Vizzy to "explore a few directions" and it will propose several distinct concepts before you commit — see Batch. Pick the one you like and keep refining it.
From concept to render
A common flow is to start in Inspiration and then move toward production:
Generate a concept
Describe the idea and let Vizzy produce a few options.
Lock the direction
Pick the strongest result. Refine it in place — "warmer", "lower the roof", "add a reflecting pool".
Take it further
Use the concept as a reference for a real project, or animate it into a short clip for a pitch.
