If you already drew it, do not start from text to image. Use image to image on the AI image generator.
Upload the line, prompt the light, keep the plan.
What strength should a sketch-to-render pass use?
Stay conservative so walls and character silhouettes survive; raise strength only if the sketch is a gesture, not a plan.
Describe materials and time of day. Do not restate the floor plan in the prompt if the upload already has it.
When a still is close, prefer image to image to keep composition while you change lighting, background, or crop intent. Regenerating from a blank text to image prompt usually costs more exploratory credits.
Record what worked: model name, ratio, and the exact prompt line that survived review. That notebook becomes your reusable playbook across ecommerce, social, and concept batches.
On deep-imager, treat the AI image generator as a credit-aware studio: lock aspect ratio, pick the model, then write the prompt so text to image spends once on a usable frame.
When is text to image the wrong first step?
When a client signed a sketch. Text to image will not honor those lines.
Use text to image only for a mood board before anyone draws.
When a still is close, prefer image to image to keep composition while you change lighting, background, or crop intent. Regenerating from a blank text to image prompt usually costs more exploratory credits.

Which model for a hard-surface sketch?
GPT-4o image for labeled diagrams; Midjourney-style for atmospheric architecture stills.
Nano Banana is enough for a quick material test. Switch inside the same AI image generator.

How many credits does a sketch loop take?
One image to image for the first render, plus one if you change only lighting. 5 free credits cover a trial.
Basic is $1/month for 10 credits. Typical render time is 30 seconds–2 minutes.

How do you keep quality high without wasting credits?
Lock ratio first, run one strong text to image pass, then refine with image to image instead of endless fresh prompts.
Before you click Generate, confirm the credit cost on the button and the aspect ratio for the channel you will actually publish to.
If the model returns a safety or policy error, rewrite the prompt without protected names or sensitive requests rather than retrying the same blocked wording.
For team handoff, save the winner still and the prompt in your dashboard history so the next editor can Make Same or continue with image to image.

Start in text to image or image to image, pick a model such as GPT-4o image, then check pricing from $1/month and how credits work before a long run.
