Reusable assets

An asset is a reusable visual object that should look the same everywhere it appears — a specific car, a magic sword, a futuristic gadget, a recognizable building, a brand of coffee cup. Like characters, you define each asset once and the AI keeps it consistent across panels.

Defining assets is free (0 credits per asset avatar).

When to use an asset

Assets are useful when an object:

• Appears in multiple panels and should look identical each time.
• Has a distinctive design that the AI might otherwise vary (e.g., a custom-built motorcycle, a magic artifact).
• Is plot-relevant and you don't want it to look like a generic version of itself.

For one-off background props ("a glass of water on the table"), don't bother — the AI handles those without an asset reference.

What an asset has

• Name — what to call it in your synopsis ("The Black Cadillac", "Excalibur", "The Phone").
• Description — what it looks like in detail.
• Avatar — a generated reference image of the asset.

Examples of good assets

• A specific vehicle: "A 1968 Cadillac Eldorado, deep black with chrome trim, weathered but kept clean. License plate: NIGHT-1."
• A signature weapon: "A long, slender katana with a black-lacquered scabbard. The hilt is wrapped in red silk."
• A piece of tech: "A retro-futuristic communicator: brass body, copper antenna, glowing green screen displaying scrolling text."
• A building: "A neon-lit ramen shop with red lanterns out front and steam curling from the open kitchen."

Using assets in your story

Reference the asset by name in your synopsis or panel description: "Maya leans against the Black Cadillac", "He pulls Excalibur from the stone." The AI picks up the asset's reference image when rendering the panel.

Assets vs worlds

Both are reusable. The difference:

• World = a place, a setting, an environment.
• Asset = a thing, a prop, an object that exists in a place.

A neon-lit Tokyo street is a world. The specific vintage motorcycle parked on it is an asset. You can define both for the same scene if both matter.

How many assets?

Most stories don't need many — a single recurring artifact, vehicle, or branded prop is often enough. There's no limit; lean on assets only for objects that genuinely need to stay consistent across panels. For everything else, just describe the object in the panel text and let the AI handle it.
