Five Settings for a Short Outbreak Scene
A setting tells the viewer how to feel before a character moves. An isolated room feels intimate; a city street makes the threat feel larger. Choose a location that leaves enough visible space for the action and the people in it.
The generator currently offers five worlds: Farmhouse, Fallen City, Blizzard, Empty Mall, Night Subway. Each changes the opening atmosphere while keeping the rest of the story structure in place.

Keep space for the characters
Two people need clear separation to make a face-off legible. Avoid a location concept so cluttered that furniture or scenery competes with the subjects. Open ground also gives a moving character a readable path.


Check the scene in context
The model can interpret a setting differently from the preview or prompt. Watch the whole export and make sure it fits the mood you intended before you publish it.
FAQ
Does the setting change the credit price?
The world selection is a scene choice. The model and output quality determine the displayed render cost.
Which setting is best for a vertical post?
Choose based on the subject and mood, then select a vertical frame in the generator. Review whether both characters stay visible.
