Layer adopts Flux: Taking your gen-AI journey to the next level
At Layer, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of this evolution by integrating the latest tools that empower game studios to bring their visions to life. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the addition of the FLUX.1 image generation model from Black Forest Labs - now available for all Layer artists.
With its state-of-the-art architecture, FLUX.1 is setting new standards for AI-driven image creation. We’re always exploring the best models available for gamedev, and we’re excited to see how Flux can help with game concepting and pre-production.
Flux x Layer
FLUX.1 is more than just an upgrade—it’s a game-changer for early concepting and ideation. This model stands out for its ability to generate high-quality assets, and should work as a great replacement for the early stages of image referencing and moodboarding in game development.
By integrating FLUX.1, we’re enabling our users to harness the power of advanced AI in their creative workflows. Whether it’s generating concept art, in-game assets, or brand exploration, FLUX.1 provides the versatility and quality that game studios need to maintain a competitive edge.
Flux in action - AKA “What makes Flux good, anyways?”
- Flux is (usually) much better with handling generated text than other models. This means you can add copy into assets without the need for extra steps - great for creating early concept art and ideations.

- Flux is great at handling complex light and shadow blending. Great for creating more complex and nuanced ideation and concept pieces.

- Flux is good at creating complex scenes with multiple objects based on prompts. This is good for when you want to create scenes with specific details, controlling each area of the image without the inputs interfering with each other.
