Beyond Text Prompts: Visual-to-Visual Generation as A Unified Paradigm
Humans often specify and create through visual artifacts: typography sheets, sketches, reference images, and annotated scenes. Yet modern visual generators still ask users to serialize this intent into text, a bottleneck that compresses signals like spatial structure, exact appearance, and glyph shape. We propose \textbf{\emph{visual-to-visual} (V2V)} generation, in which the user conditions a generative model with a visual specification page rather than a text prompt. The page is not an edit target, but a visual document that specifies the desired output. We introduce \textbf{V2V-Zero}, a training-free framework that exposes this interface in existing vision-language model (VLM) conditio...
