Generating multimedia content with the AI Generator – HeavyM

The AI Generator allows you to create custom images or animation loops directly inside HeavyM.You can generate visual content adapted to your mapping by combining a text prompt with a reference image from your project.

Note: an Internet connection is required to generate content. Once the image or loop has been generated and downloaded, you no longer need to be online to use it inside your project.
