Step 1: Create Your Project and Upload Your Sketch

Sign up at vizcom.ai and create a new project. You can either upload an existing sketch (JPEG, PNG, or PSD) or draw directly in Vizcom’s built-in sketch pad. If you’re using a tablet, the drawing experience feels natural and responsive. For best results, use clean line work with clear outlines — Vizcom’s AI works best when it can clearly distinguish the product’s form and proportions.

Step 2: Define the Design Intent

Use Vizcom’s prompt bar to describe your product. Be specific about the type of product, materials, and style. For example: “minimalist wireless speaker, brushed aluminum body, matte black mesh grille, soft ambient LED ring.” The more descriptive you are, the more accurately Vizcom will interpret your sketch. You can also use reference images to guide the AI’s understanding of your desired aesthetic.

Step 3: Generate Your First Render

Click “Render” and watch the magic happen. Within seconds, Vizcom transforms your sketch into a photorealistic image. The AI preserves your design’s proportions and form while adding realistic materials, lighting, shadows, and environmental context. If the initial render doesn’t match your vision, adjust the prompt and regenerate — each iteration takes just seconds.

Step 4: Explore Material Variations

One of Vizcom’s most powerful features is the material explorer. Click on any surface of your render and swap materials instantly. Try your speaker in wood, ceramic, or transparent glass. Each material is rendered with physically accurate properties — reflections, refractions, texture, and subsurface scattering. This is invaluable for client presentations where you need to show multiple finish options.

Step 5: Generate Multiple Views

Click “Generate Views” to produce renders from different camera angles — front, side, top, three-quarter, and detail shots. All views maintain the same material and lighting setup for consistency. This eliminates the need to create separate renders for each perspective, saving hours of work.

Step 6: Collaborate and Export

Share your render board with team members using a link. They can add annotations, comments, and vote on preferred variations. Once you’ve finalized the design, export at up to 4K resolution in PNG or PSD format with layers for compositing flexibility. Use these exports for pitch decks, marketing materials, or manufacturing specification documents.

Pro Tips for Better Results

• Use a light-colored sketch on a dark background for the best AI interpretation
• Keep your sketches proportionally accurate — Vizcom preserves your form, so accurate proportions matter
• Use the layer system to isolate different parts of your product for independent material application
• Save your favorite material combinations as presets for future projects

Vizcom bridges the gap between imagination and visualization, giving product designers the freedom to explore ideas at the speed of thought.
