Off-the-shelf image models don't know your game. They produce generic output that your art director rejects, and every asset needs heavy paintover before it ships. The gap between "AI-generated" and "on-brand" is the single biggest blocker to putting AI into a real production pipeline.
Custom Model Training closes that gap. Layer trains LoRAs directly on your own artwork, so every generation starts from your style — your characters, your rendering, your palette. Teams at 300+ game studios and entertainment brands use trained styles to make AI output that actually belongs in their game.
Key Capabilities
LoRA Training on Your Artwork Build a Reference Set from your existing art, pick a base model, and train. You can train multiple LoRAs per set, so one collection of artwork can power several styles tuned for different jobs.
Edit-LoRA Training Teach a model how your team edits, not just how it draws. Edit-LoRA training learns from paired before/after images, capturing transformations like your studio's cleanup pass or a signature recolor treatment.
Auto-Train When a Reference Set qualifies, one click starts a training run with settings Layer chooses for you. Artists get a production-ready style without touching a single hyperparameter.
Caption Review Before Every Run Layer generates captions for your training images automatically — and lets you review and edit them before training starts, so the model learns exactly what you intend.
Full Run Visibility Every run shows an up-front price estimate in Creative Units, live training progress, and the option to cancel mid-run. Run history keeps a record of what was trained, when, and from what.
How It Works
Curate a Reference Set Gather the artwork that defines your style into a Reference Set. This is the ground truth your model learns from.
Train or Auto-Train Choose a base model and configure the run yourself, or let Auto-train handle the settings. Review the AI-generated captions, check the price estimate, and start.
Generate in Your Style Your trained LoRA lands in the styles library, organized and ready for the whole team. Anyone in the workspace can generate with it immediately.
Built for Game Production
Consistent Game Art at Scale A trained style keeps hundreds of icons, characters, and environments visually coherent, so live-ops content shipped in month twelve matches the art you launched with.
On-Brand UA Creative Marketing teams generate ad variations in the exact style of the game, keeping store pages and playable ads aligned with what players actually see.
One Library for Every Style Trained styles, imported LoRAs, uploaded checkpoints, and model URLs all live in a shared styles library. Your whole team pulls from the same source of truth instead of passing files around.
Fast Starts, Enterprise Guardrails 40+ pre-built models let you generate on day one while your custom styles train. Your artwork stays yours — customer data is never used to train foundation models, and Layer is SOC 2 Type II compliant with role-based access.
Your art style is your competitive advantage. Custom Model Training makes it the starting point of every generation instead of something you fix in post.
