Make-A-Scene

Meta's AI image model that accepts sketches and text as creative input

Make-A-Scene is a research model from Meta AI that enables users to guide image generation using both text descriptions and hand-drawn sketches, giving creators more control over composition and layout. Unlike pure text-to-image systems, it allows freeform sketches to define spatial structure. Developed as a research tool exploring greater human creative control in AI image generation.
