GrimVision
GrimVision generates AI concept art from inside your project. Use it to visualize a room before it's built, reference a prop style, explore a character design, or just see what your haunt's atmosphere looks like rendered out. Generated images save to your GrimVision Library and link directly to the card that inspired them.
GrimVision is a credit-based feature available to Pro and Studio accounts. Credits are purchased separately from your subscription.
Accessing GrimVision
GrimVision is accessed from inside a card. Open any card's detail drawer by double-clicking it in Stage 2. In the Inspiration section click the GrimVision button. Your current credit balance appears alongside the button label.
Generating an Image
The GrimVision panel opens on the right side of the canvas. Generation has three steps.
Step 1 — Select a niche
Choose the category that best matches your project type.
| Niche | Best for |
|---|---|
| Haunted House | Scare attractions, haunted experiences, dark atmosphere. |
| Escape Room | Puzzle environments, themed rooms, set design. |
| Film | Production design, scene visualization, costume reference. |
| Cosplay | Character design, costume details, prop reference. |
| Theater | Stage sets, lighting concepts, period design. |
| TTRPG | Dungeons, creatures, characters, world building. |
| General | Anything that does not fit a specific niche. |
Step 2 — Select a style template
Style templates are tuned to the selected niche. Each one steers the generation toward a specific visual output type.
Examples across niches include: Atmospheric Background, Prop Reference Sheet, Creature or Monster Sheet, Character Portrait, Floor Plan Sketch, Lighting Concept, Scene Overview, and others. The available templates update based on your niche selection.
Step 3 — Write a description
Describe what you want to see. Be specific about materials, mood, lighting, color, and scale. The more specific the description the more useful the output.
A few things that work well:
- Name the setting directly: "abandoned Victorian ballroom with collapsed ceiling, fog, single spotlight"
- Describe materials and condition: "rusted iron cage, chains, dried blood stains, dim orange light"
- Reference the card context: "the entrance room of a haunted farmhouse, corn stalks visible through broken windows"
Click Generate to create the image. Each generation uses credits. The number of credits per generation is shown before you confirm.
Credits
GrimVision runs on a separate credit system from Grim's token allowance. Credits are purchased in packs via Account Settings → Plan and Billing.
| Detail | Notes |
|---|---|
| Credits per generation | Shown in the panel before you generate. |
| Credit balance | Displayed on the GrimVision button in every card drawer. |
| Purchasing | Account Settings → Plan and Billing → GrimVision Credits. |
| Expiry | Purchased credits do not expire. |
| First use | New accounts receive a small number of free credits on first use. |
When your credit balance reaches zero the Generate button is disabled and a link to purchase more appears in the panel.
Your GrimVision Library
Every image you generate is saved automatically to your GrimVision Library. The library is accessible from the Dashboard library cards.
In the library you can:
- Browse all generated images across all projects
- Rename any image by clicking its filename
- Download any image
- See which project and card it was generated from
Generated images are also available in the canvas image picker's GrimVision Library tab so you can place them directly on the canvas as background images without leaving Stage 2.
Generated Images and Cards
When GrimVision generates an image it is automatically linked to the card that was open when you generated it. The image appears as a thumbnail in the card's Inspiration section alongside any other linked images.
From the Inspiration section you can:
- Set the image as the card's canvas photo tile using the Show on canvas toggle in the Photos section
- Unlink the image from the card without deleting it from your library
- Open the image in a lightbox by clicking the thumbnail
