Scene Illustrations

Visions of Adventure

The Visions tab (4) lets you generate AI artwork depicting dramatic moments from your session.

How It Works

Image generation is a two-step process:

  1. Scene Crafting — an LLM reads your transcript and crafts a vivid scene description focusing on one dramatic moment
  2. Image Generation — the description is used to create an image directly on your Mac, with no internet connection required

Generating an Image

  1. Switch to the Visions tab
  2. Click Generate Image
  3. Watch the progress phases:
    • "Crafting scene..." — AI is writing the scene description
    • "Generating image..." — mflux is rendering the image locally
    • Done! — image appears in the gallery

Hidden Feature: Edit the Scene Description

Before generation begins, you can edit the scene description that the AI crafted. This lets you steer the image toward a specific moment or adjust details.

Hidden Feature: Character Appearance Consistency

If your character roster has visual descriptions, they're included in the scene prompt. This means your characters look consistent across different illustrations — Theron always has his red cloak, Elara always carries her silver staff.

Creating Variations

Hidden Feature

Click Generate Image again to create a different scene or variation. Each generation is independent — you can build a gallery of multiple moments from the same session.

Managing Images

  • Images are displayed newest-first in the gallery
  • Delete individual images or clear all images for a session
  • The most recent image is used as the hero image in PDF exports

Requirements

  • Apple Silicon Mac (M1+) — image generation runs directly on your Mac, no external service needed
  • A connected AI assistant is needed to craft the scene description (see Settings)
  • Image quality can be tuned via Steps and Guidance Scale in Settings
