Create from Scratch: Generate Patterns, Sketches, and Graphics from Text

Create from Scratch lets you generate images, patterns, and sketches directly from a text prompt without uploading a product photo first. You choose an AI model, aspect ratio, enhancement style, and optional brand filter, then click Generate. Images are editable and upscalable after creation.

What is Create from Scratch?

Create from Scratch is a text-to-image tool in Caimera designed for early-stage brainstorming. Unlike tools that require an existing product image, this feature generates visuals directly from your description. Use it to create:

• Fabric patterns and textile prints
• Fashion sketches and technical illustrations
• Marketing graphics and icons
• Concept mockups before physical samples exist

You can find it on the Caimera homepage next to Upload and Edit.

Workspace Layout:

The interface has two panels:

• Left Panel (Creation Hub): Contains the prompt box, configuration dropdowns, and the "+" button for reference images.
• Right Panel (History): Shows your generated images. You can filter between saved and unsaved visuals.

Generation Settings

Before you generate, configure these four options:

1. Image Generation Model

Choose the AI model that powers your image:

.

2. Aspect Ratio

Defaults to 1:1 (square). Other options include 16:9, 4:5, and additional formats. Select the ratio that matches your project's output requirements.

3. Prompt Enhancement Style

This setting tells the AI what kind of creative output you want:

4. Brand Filter

Apply a brand profile to match a specific aesthetic:

• Without a filter: The AI uses only your text prompt.
• With a filter: The AI blends your prompt with the brand's signature colors and style.

Step 6: Type your text prompt description into the text box, select your preferences from the dropdowns, and click Generate to create unique variations that automatically save to your History.

Workflow Examples

Example 1: Creating Fabric Patterns

• Setup: Select your Prompt Enhancement Style as Fabric Pattern.
• Prompt: Input a simple text description detailing the pattern theme and colors (e.g., "Minimalist retro daisy pattern in pastel sage green and cream").
• Result: The tool generates a clean textile pattern.
• Brand Variations:
• Selecting H&M might yield a cute, Gen-Z-friendly aesthetic as compared to Nike with sporty vibrant aesthetic.

Example 2: Creating Graphics and Illustrations

• Setup: Select your Prompt Enhancement Style as Graphic.
• Prompt: Describe your scene or subject (e.g., "A whimsical watercolor illustration of a goose wearing a chef's hat").
• Brand Variations:
• Selecting H&M might yield a cute, Gen-Z-friendly aesthetic.

• Switching the filter to Zara will shift the illustration toward a more muted, mature look.

Example 3: Creating Sketches, Mockups

• Setup: Select your Prompt Enhancement Style as Sketch.
• Prompt: Describe a product concept (e.g., "A hand-drawn pair of running shoes in a minimalist fashion illustration style").
• Result: The AI outputs a clean line-art sketch perfect for early product concepting.
