Nodaro DocsStyle Guide
The Style Guide node holds your written visual direction and sets the Style Guide of Generate Script. Image and video nodes take their style elsewhere.
The Style Guide node holds a written description of your visual style: the color palette, the rendering style and composition rules. It never runs a model and costs nothing.
Connect it to the Style Guide input of Generate Script: its text replaces the Style Guide typed in the script's panel, and every scene the script writes follows it. The canvas refuses a wire from Style Guide to Generate Image or Generate Video; for those, use the other places below.
