Descrição
Generate images inside Unreal Editor with a tiny C++ plugin. NanoLook captures your active viewport, sends it with your prompt to an image model, shows the result in its window, and saves the file to disk for you. Preview in the panel, then grab the saved image from your project's Saved/NanoLook folder.
