Seedream to Street — How AI Graffiti turns Doubao renders into mural-ready art

2025/11/24

When we wired our latest image model integration into AI Graffiti this fall, the goal wasn’t “faster images.” We wanted a production pipeline that respects handstyle, city permits, and agency deadlines. Here’s a transparent look at how the new workflow works—from the moment you type a prompt to the instant a client signs off.

1. Prompt scaffolds built for graffiti

Regular diffusion prompts obsess over “cinematic lighting.” Our scaffold starts with letterforms:

  • Letter skeleton (A–Z combos, bevel choices, outline width)
  • Surface hints (brick, treated concrete, LED mesh)
  • Culture cues (crew names, city, slang, festival theme)
  • Compliance tags (family-friendly, corporate safe, or experimental)

Saved presets live in your team’s Style Bible so everyone riffs on the same vocabulary.

2. Depth-aware uploads for every wall

Before we ever hit “Generate,” AI Graffiti asks for at least one wall reference: a photo, LiDAR scan, or blueprint. We auto-generate depth passes and masks, then store them next to your prompt so the final image bends around vents, shutters, and lighting rigs.

Every request includes:

  • Provider + model ID
  • Safety toggles aligned with your workspace policy
  • Resolution preset (1K, 2K, 4K, cinematic 16:9, etc.)
  • Prompt + negative prompt + graffiti style prompt (set in Admin → Settings → AI)

We stamp each job with your project ID, permit number (optional), and crew initials so the dashboard becomes your source of truth.

4. Iterations, not roulette

The model returns four candidates. Instead of dumping all four, we run them through:

  1. Letter integrity score — rejects outputs where structure collapses.
  2. Surface projection preview — checks if drips align with brick seams.
  3. Brand safety scan — flags words or logos you didn’t request.

Only the top two make it into your “graffiti shell.” You can upscale, remix, or feed them back with different drizzle, chrome fill, or neon rim settings.

5. Delivery kits your clients expect

Once you approve a render, AI Graffiti triggers an export job:

  • High-res PNGs (with optional transparent background) sized for decks, printers, or AR comps.
  • Instant share links you can drop into Notion, Slack, or client portals.
  • Mockups on the original wall photo for fast approvals.
  • Animated loop (optional) generated via our Video Lite module.

Everything lands in Cloudflare R2 with signed URLs that expire after 24 hours unless you pin them.

6. Field-tested checklists

We provide a final PDF checklist for the crew: paint colors, cap types, projector coordinates, and QR codes linking back to the digital reference. Agencies love it because it keeps procurement and mural teams in sync.

What’s next?

  • Beta: automatic permit packets per city (NYC, Berlin, Chengdu).
  • Coming soon: video diffusion presets for XR stage backgrounds.
  • Always-on: feedback loop with model engineers to keep graffiti-specific features on the roadmap.
