Make a comic from your story

3 min read

Some scenes want to be read as a comic. The Comic engine takes a scene and breaks it into panels, draws each one in your project's visual style, and gives you a reader with dialogue and captions sitting right on the page.

Break the scene into panels

Point Comic at a scene and it plans a panel breakdown, up to sixteen panels that carry the beats of the scene the way a comic page would: an establishing panel, a reaction, a turn, a punchline. You get the structure of the page before a single image is drawn.

Render the art

Each panel renders as an image in your project's visual style. Locked character looks carry straight into the panels, so a character keeps the same face, wardrobe, and build from the first panel to the last, panel art draws on your plan's image allowance the same as any other illustration.

Read it with bubbles and captions

The reader composites your dialogue as speech bubbles and your narration as captions, laid directly over the art, so the finished page reads like a comic rather than a slideshow of pictures with text underneath.

Export as a PDF

When a scene's comic is ready, export it as a PDF, laid out page by page so you can download it, share it, or print it as a finished digital comic.

Tip. Lock your cast's looks in Cast Design before you render panels. A face that holds steady from panel to panel is what makes a comic feel drawn, not generated.
