## **How to Create 3D Assets in a Consistent Style**

When you’re building a game, nothing breaks immersion faster than mismatched art styles. In professional studios, multiple artists work together under a shared **art direction**—a clear set of visual guidelines, reference images, and rules that ensure every asset fits seamlessly into the game’s world.

Now, Sloyd lets you give the **same kind of art direction to AI**.

With our **Custom Style** feature, you can upload a reference image and use it as the style guide for your AI-generated assets. The AI takes **what** to create from your text prompt and **how it should look** from your reference image. As they say, _an image is worth a thousand words_—and in this case, it’s worth a thousand consistent assets.

You can even save multiple custom styles—one for characters, one for props, and one for environment assets—so your game world stays visually cohesive from start to finish.

### **Use Case: Same Dungeon, Different Style**

Independent art director **Pavel Arkhipov** demonstrated how powerful this can be. He recreated the **exact same dungeon** twice, each time with a completely different style.

#### **Style 1: Gooey & Creepy**

First, Pavel created a reference image for a “gooey, slightly creepy” dungeon style.

He then prompted Sloyd to generate dungeon assets—crates, barrels, walls, and torches—in that style. Once placed together, the scene had an eerie, sticky, unsettling vibe.

#### **Style 2: Whimsical Gnome Dungeon**

Next, Pavel switched gears. He created a second reference image for a “gnome” style—more whimsical, colorful, and cozy.

Using the same prompts as before, he regenerated the dungeon assets. This time, the dungeon felt warm, charming, and magical.

### **Why This Matters**

With custom styles, you don’t have to compromise between speed and consistency. You can:

* Keep your game’s art direction locked in, even across multiple scenes.
* Quickly adapt the same base concept to different moods or genres.
* Give your AI the same kind of guidance you’d give a human artist.

Whether you’re a solo developer or part of a team, Sloyd’s Custom Style feature makes it easy to build worlds that feel coherent—and look exactly the way you imagined.
