The pre-production gap
You know what the world looks like.
Showing others is the hard part.
Pre-vis and look-dev are where creative decisions get made — but the tools are expensive and slow. Reference hunting takes days. Concept artists are booked months out. Plates that almost match exist, but "almost" doesn't sell the vision.
Meanwhile, the greenlight depends on making abstract ideas tangible. Stakeholders need to see it to believe it.
OKSLOP lets you generate reference plates, environment concepts, and look-dev frames at the speed of a conversation. Explore visual directions before committing to builds — and get everyone aligned on what the world actually looks like.
Why this fits film & VFX
Creative exploration. At production speed.
Visual divergence
Brief a mood — "foggy industrial dawn, Blade Runner meets Stalker" — and get twenty interpretations. Pick the one that sells the vision.
Look-dev consistency
Lock an artist whose style clicks. Generate variations across scenes, lighting conditions, times of day — all in the same visual language.
Reference-quality plates
Not final renders — reference material. Good enough for pre-vis, shot breakdowns, and creative alignment meetings.
Shot-review cadence
Generate, review, refine — in the same session. Creative decisions move at the speed of ideas, not asset pipelines.
The look-dev loop
From pitch to reference. Same day.
Brief the world
Describe the feeling — mood, era, lighting, references. A paragraph or a shotlist. The brief is the creative direction.
Explore directions
Send to multiple artists for divergent takes. Some will surprise you; some will nail what you already imagined.
Lock and expand
Found the direction? Lock that artist. Generate environments, character concepts, lighting studies — all visually coherent.
Hand off to production
Reference plates inform the build. The look is tangible before anyone opens Houdini.
What you can generate
Pre-production assets. Without the production.
Environment plates
Matte paintings, background references, establishing shot concepts. Build the world visually before building it physically.
Color keys & lighting
Mood frames, color scripts, lighting studies. See how the palette shifts across sequences.
Concept frames
Key frames, hero shots, trailer-quality concepts. The images that sell the vision in a pitch deck.
HDRIs for lighting
Environment lighting references for your renders. Match the look before you light the scene.
Skyboxes
360° environments for pre-vis and VR scouting. Explore the world from inside it.
Pre-vis stills
Shot references, blocking concepts, composition studies. The visual language before the cameras roll.
Production stages
Fits into the pipeline. Accelerates early stages.
Pitch & development
Concept art for pitch decks. Make abstract ideas tangible before the greenlight conversation.
Pre-visualization
Reference plates for pre-vis teams. Establish the look before you block the shots.
Look development
Color keys, lighting studies, environment mood boards. Lock the visual language early.
Revision cycles
Director wants to see alternatives? Generate variations in the meeting, not after it.
Ongoing productions
Design your own visual language.
Use it across the production.
Create an AI artist tuned to your project's aesthetic. Lock the look once, then generate reference plates, concept frames, and environment studies — all in the same visual voice.
When the director asks "what if we made it warmer?" — show them in minutes, not days.
A look-dev library that grows with your production.
