Hey everyone! Turn a single reference image and a mood description into a complete set of production-ready visual asset, in one run.
What you bring:
A Key Visual reference image that captures the look, palette, or world of your project and a short text describing the film's mood or atmosphere (e.g. "drama, overcast, sci-fi")
What the technique does:
The technique reads both inputs together and builds a cohesive 6-frame storyboard that translates your mood into a visual narrative arc. Each frame is crafted to feel tonally consistent with the reference while expressing a distinct narrative beat. Once the storyboard is complete, every keyframe is exported individually as a standalone image.
What you get is 7 assets total: 1 full storyboard + 6 individually exported keyframes.
Best for: directors, cinematographers, animators, and visual development artists who want to go from concept to a shootable (or pitchable) frame sequence fast, without losing tonal coherence across shots.
Thanks for reading! :)
Nice!

Project Title: Interactive Thermal Vision for Fashion E-commerce (Built with Fuser)
The Concept
A next-gen feature for online stores. Instead of just saying "this jacket is warm," we let customers prove it to themselves with an interactive lens.
The Problem
You can't feel the quality or warmth of a garment through a screen. Static photos show the style, but they don't communicate the tech behind the fabric.
The Solution
I built a workflow that turns a standard fashion shot into an interactive experience. I engineered a "thermal lens" that follows the mouse: as you scan the puffer jacket, it reveals a heat map showing heat retention, while the snowy background stays "cold."
How it Works
Generation: AI creates a high-end base image—a model in a massive pink puffer standing in a snowy mountain landscape.
Code (GLSL): Using Fuser’s code node, I wrote a shader that dynamically re-maps colors inside the lens to mimic a thermal scan, keeping the rest of the photo unaltered.
Value for Brands
It’s a plug-and-play tool for websites. It boosts engagement, keeps users on the page longer, and builds trust in the product's technical specs.
Nice work
