Layout Scene

No LLM Requires ComfyUI Flow id: create.ideogram_scene 6 steps

Layout Scene is the fully manual alternative to Layout Assist and Layout Reference — no AI writes the layout for you. You define each character yourself, with orientation and reference images, place their bounding boxes directly on the canvas, and the scene builder assembles the final layout from your placements.

Reach for it when you already know exactly where everything should go and would rather not have an LLM interpretation step between your intent and the result.

Guided walkthrough

  1. Step type: Workflow picker

    Choose engine

    Pick the imported engine, or auto-selected if you only have one.

  2. Step type: Scene builder

    Scene & Characters

    The manual placement interface: add characters one by one with orientation and reference images, position their boxes on the canvas.

  3. Step type: Ideogram composer

    Composition

    Review and fine-tune the assembled layout before generating.

  4. Step type: Parameter group

    Format

    Aspect ratio, seed, image count — no steps/CFG fields exposed on this one.

  5. Step type: Action — generation.submit_queue

    Generate Image

    Sends the manually assembled layout to the queue. No LLM call anywhere in this flow.

  6. Step type: Result view

    Result

    Save, Upscale, Send to Refine, Regenerate.
