NOMAD Nomad Studio/Documentation
DocumentationEvery flow, explained twice.
First in plain terms — what it's for, when to reach for it. Then step by step — exactly what happens as it runs, in the same order the app runs it. Start with Create; Refine, Mix and the rest of the studio are being written next.
Create — 22 of 25 flows documented
Each page follows the same template: a plain-terms summary first, then a numbered walkthrough of every step, including the exact system prompts the local LLM runs where a flow uses one. Three flows aren't documented yet — see why below — their flow definitions are genuinely incomplete, not just unwritten docs.
Simple
No AI assistance — full manual control.
Simple JSON
Edit generation variables as JSON, no LLM.
Simple CivitAI
Paste a CivitAI block, auto-detected, no LLM.
From Template
Pick a cinematic template, fill the blanks.
Assist
AI expands a rough idea — four depth levels.
Enhance CivitAI
AI enhances your idea using a CivitAI style anchor.
Describe Image
Vision describes a reference, you tweak it.
Chat
Generate, then evolve the scene turn by turn.
Chat CivitAI
Same loop, style locked to a CivitAI anchor.
Variations
[Bracketed] template, filled N different ways.
Variations JSON
Same idea, variables as JSON fields.
Scenes
One idea, N scene prompts, one batch.
Portraits
A character, a dozen dials, N distinct portraits.
Bulk Vision
One example prompt, vision writes one per image.
Story
Narrative version of Chat's evolving loop.
Layout Assist
Semicolon fragments → bounding-box layout.
Layout Lettering
Pick typography attributes from pills.
Layout Reference
A reference image blended into the layout.
Character Sheet
Multi-view reference sheet, no LLM.
Layout Character Reference
A character photo placed into a new scene.
Layout Scene
Fully manual character/box placement, no LLM.
Layout Storyboard
A cinematic contact sheet, 4–9 panels.
Needs fixing — not documented on purpose
These three flows were found broken or incomplete while writing this documentation and are deliberately left undocumented rather than describing a flow that doesn't really work yet.
Character
No character-library picker despite the copy promising one; no parameters or result actions configured.
From Brief
Promises an interactive Q&A brief-builder; the flow is actually a direct send with no LLM step at all.
Layout Poster
Missing its result_view step entirely — generates, but has no Save/Upscale/Send to Refine configured.
