Template Gallery

Discover and learn from projects published by other VariantLab users. Browse the gallery for inspiration, preview configurations, and fork templates to use as a starting point for your own projects.

Browsing Templates​

The Template Gallery is accessible from the home screen. Browse available templates using:

  • Search — Filter by name, description, or tags
  • Tags — Select one or more tags to narrow results
  • Creator — Filter by specific creators
  • Sort — Order by Recently Added, Most Popular, or Name

Each template card shows a cover image, the template name, creator, and fork count.

Template Preview​

Click a template card to see its full details:

  • Cover images — Carousel of the template's base images
  • Prompt — The image generation prompt
  • Model and settings — Which AI model and configuration the template uses
  • Traits — List of detected traits
  • Variation count — Number of variation prompts defined
  • Fork count — How many times the template has been forked
  • Tags — Descriptive tags added by the creator

Publishing a Template​

Share your project with the community by publishing it as a template.

  1. Open your project
  2. Go to project settings
  3. Click Publish to Gallery
  4. Add a description explaining what the template is for
  5. Add tags to help others find it (e.g., "character", "game-asset", "avatar")

Your project's configuration, prompt, traits, and variations become visible in the gallery. Other users can fork your template to create their own version.

To remove your template from the gallery, click Unpublish in project settings.

Forking a Template​

Forking creates your own copy of a template's configuration.

  1. Click Use Template from the template preview
  2. Enter a name for your new project
  3. Optionally select which assets to copy (see below)
  4. Click Fork

The new project is created immediately with the template's:

  • Prompt and generation settings
  • Trait definitions and analysis configuration
  • Variation prompts
Free

Browsing, publishing, and forking cost no Mana. Copied images are free too — no generation charges.

Copying Assets on Fork​

When forking, you can optionally include the template's existing images:

AssetWhat's Copied
Base ImagesThe template's generated base images
MasksTrait detection masks (requires Base Images)
VariationsGenerated variation images (requires Masks and Base Images)

Assets have a dependency chain — selecting Variations automatically includes Masks and Base Images. Selecting Masks automatically includes Base Images.

Images are copied in the background after the project is created. You can start working immediately while the copy completes.

note

If you don't copy any assets, only the configuration is forked. You'll generate your own images from scratch using the template's settings and prompts.
