This guide outlines the streamlined process for creating dynamic game backgrounds using Scenario. It details a practical workflow that begins with selecting a reference image, setting up generation parameters, and concludes with stylistic upscaling. Each step is designed to enhance both the efficiency and quality of background designs in various types of games, from Idle MMOs to Fighting games. By leveraging Scenario’s Creative Upscaler, developers can add intricate details to backgrounds, working on different level of details (LODs) ensuring that each design element contributes to a cohesive and engaging game environment.
The background creation process can be broken down into simple steps, and is a great workflow to master for new users.

Depending on the type of gameplay you have in development, various backgrounds may be required. In some cases, the Text Prompt alone might not be sufficient to create the appropriate composition. It is useful to leverage an image reference in this case.
We have provided the above images for you to use or you can use any free online 3D service to create a Reference Image. As you can see in these examples, the angle and perspectives of your reference images are important, particularly for Idle MMO and Fighting games.

To generate your desired background, select a model and click Generate with this Model. Load your reference image and change the Mode to ControlNet. Within ControlNet, select the Depth Mode and set the Influence to 50. Finally, insert your prompt in the prompt field that describes the setting you want to generate.
For example:
"Front view background with a [describe your background] for a martial fighter game"
"Front view background with a [describe your background] for an Idle MMO game."
