What is Layer AI ?
Layer AI allows game creators to train the AI Model to learn their unique style and produce new game assets faster and more efficiently. Teaching Layer AI different asset groups, creators can generate infinite number of variations to be used in their games, all consistent with their own art style. Creators can also customize the AI generated outputs using Layer AI powered Canvas and make them production ready.
Why does Layer AI exist?
Any game developer can tell you how challenging it is to create, iterate, and optimize high-quality game art & marketing assets. Not only is it time consuming to create assets, but most modern games require a constant pipeline of new content to keep players engaged and compete in-market. If you’re a solo developer or a small studio, you’re always competing against larger developers with teams of professional artists and established asset pipelines. If you’re a large developer, the cost of managing professional asset production requires significant overhead and can eat into profit-margins.
Layer AI is here to scale your game assets without compromising on quality — letting you create professional in-game content and marketing and live ops art pipelines without the traditional cost.
Here is how it works
- Train Your Style
You upload your to different asset groups to Layer and teach Layer your unique art styles. You can then use our “prompter” to generate new variations out of them for your new games art needs. You can train as many different asset groups as you like and Layer would help generate new variations. Most popular art needs amongst Layer users have been backgrounds, UI, characters, icons, buildings, and environments.
2. Layer Canvas for editing
Layer’s AI-powered Canvas offers various features that allow artists to guide the AI to achieve their desired outcome. They can use inpainting and outpainting features to guide Layer to create new variations for you to pick from and make any changes they like. Using ControlNet allows you to create in a specific pose or use your own raw sketch as a starting point. Smart Masking allows creator to select, crop, or complete an area to achieve the desired outcome.
3. Create Game Assets:
Using Styles and Layer Canvas you can create game ready assets for concept art, maps, characters, avatars, icons, backgrounds, UI, badges, environments, buildings, furnitures, in a pose, based on a raw sketch, in any mood, season like Halloween, art style, resolution and size.
4. Collaborate with your team:
Our Studio and above plans are built for teams. Layer AI allows users to invite team members and work together seamlessly using Layer Drive.
5. Consult to an expert:
We believe strong style training is key in achieving perfection. Our Artist Operations team is 100% committed to help solve our top users’ art needs faster. Layer Enterprise Plan offers live support to help achieve your art goals.
