Your render can be a finished piece, a starting point, or both.
AI Scene Enhancer brings AI image and video generation into Daz Studio. Start with your viewport or an image from your computer, choose a style or write a prompt, and explore a new look. Your scene gives the AI a visual starting point, with your characters, poses, camera and lighting helping guide the result.
Available for download in DIM for Windows and Mac at 10 AM MST on 11/10, AI Scene Enhancer includes 20 launch styles, 5 post effects, saved custom prompts, and tools for generating, combining and trimming video.
AI image generation that starts with your scene
Building a scene in Daz Studio gives you a way to shape an image before you write a prompt. Choose your characters, arrange their poses, frame the shot and set the lighting. Then use AI Scene Enhancer to explore how that composition could look in another style.
You can work directly from the viewport while developing your scene or select a finished render from your computer. You can also use other images saved on your computer.
AI Scene Enhancer is available under Render > AI Scene Enhancer. Iray remains available for your usual rendering workflow.
Explore 20 styles and 5 post effects
The launch collection covers realistic, handcrafted, illustrated, stylized 3D and animation styles.
Explore Realistic options such as Moody Film Noir, Infrared Film Photography, Wet Plate Photography and Dreamy Experimental Double Exposure. Try the texture of Felt & Yarn Diorama or Cross Stitch Textile Art, the illustrated look of Graphic Novel or Watercolor Storybook, or a Stylized 3D Animated Feature treatment.
Animation styles include Context-Aware Shonen Anime Choreography and Gentle Breeze Animation.
The five post effects offer additional ways to shape your image:
- Adaptive Typography and Layered Poster Design.
- Cinematic Anamorphic Lens Flare.
- Cinematic Rain and Weather.
- Cinematic Snow and Weather.
- Cinematic Volumetric Lighting and Solid Godrays.
Styles and post effects will be added in the future as we expand our selection.
Write and reuse your own prompts
Use the presets as a starting point or describe your own look. You can save, edit and reuse custom styles through Manage Styles, making it easier to return to a prompt and refine it across different images.
Image generation is available through OpenAI and xAI, with Standard 1K and High 2K resolution options. OpenAI also includes Standard, More Creative and More Like Original image variance settings, plus a transparent background option.
Auto Save lets you choose a destination folder on your computer and turn automatic image saving on or off.
Turn your viewport or images into AI video
AI Scene Enhancer can generate video from your viewport or a source image. Animate a finished render, bring a newly styled image into motion, or explore video directly from a scene you are still developing.
With xAI video generation, you can choose the duration, select an aspect ratio and generate at 480p Draft, 720p Standard or 1080p High resolution. Shape options include matching the source image, widescreen 16:9, square 1:1 and vertical 9:16, alongside additional ratios.
You can also enable audio generation and choose from five preset voiceover personas or add your own.
Best Quality mode combines two steps: OpenAI first creates an image using your style or prompt, then xAI’s Grok animates it. This mode has a higher credit cost and gives you access to the OpenAI image settings followed by the xAI video settings.
Combine and trim clips in the same workspace
AI Scene Enhancer includes three tabs: AI Scene Enhancer, Video Stitcher and Trimmer.
Use the AI Scene Enhancer tab to generate images and video. In the Video Stitcher, import clips from your computer, add transitions, bring in background music, and include titles and captions. Preview the sequence, then export at 24, 30 or 60 frames per second.
The Trimmer lets you select a video from your computer and set its start and end points.
Existing videos can be imported for stitching and trimming. AI generation uses your viewport or a source image.
How to get started with AI Scene Enhancer
- Install the latest Daz Studio 6 update through Daz Install Manager (DIM).
- Open Render > AI Scene Enhancer and sign in to your Daz account.
- Choose your viewport or select an image or render from your computer.
- Choose an image or video generation option, then select a style or enter your own prompt.
- Adjust the available settings, review the credit cost and generate.
AI Scene Enhancer is free to install and available on Windows and Mac. Generation runs in the cloud, so you need an internet connection. You do not need a powerful graphics card for AI generation itself, although your computer still needs to run Daz Studio and any local rendering you choose to do.
How generative credits work
AI image and video generation uses generative credits. Generations use anywhere from 2–200 or more credits, depending on whether you are creating an image or video and which provider you use. The tool shows the current cost before you generate.
New users receive complimentary starter credits, and existing users receive a one-time complimentary allocation. Complimentary credits are valid for 30 days.
For additional credits, choose a monthly subscription or pre-paid credit packs. Subscription allocations and credits are valid for one month.
