Draw Me Bot + FMX for iPad
FMX for iPad is the most common photo source for Draw Me Bot. The iPad captures the guest photo, the AI Draw Me step transforms it into a drawing style, and the result is uploaded to the shared Cloud event that the robot monitors.
What You Need
- An iPad with FMX for iPad installed and an active FMX for iPad license
- An active DMBot license
- A Foto Master Cloud event created and configured with an AI Draw Me workflow step
Workflow Setup in Cloud
- In Foto Master Cloud, open the Workflow Builder for your event
- Add an AI Draw Me step after the photo capture step
- Choose the AI model (Michelangelo for speed, Picasso for detail, etc.) — see AI Draw Me Models
- Configure body framing (No Body, Half Body, or Full Body) and any custom prompt
- Add a Share/Upload step after AI Draw Me to ensure the result uploads to the Cloud gallery
- Save and assign the preset to your event
On the iPad
- Open FMX on the iPad and sign in with your Cloud credentials
- Select your event and tap Sync
- Tap Play to go live
- Run a test session: take a photo and confirm the AI Draw Me step processes and uploads it
- Check the DMBot queue — the drawing should appear automatically
Running Multiple iPads
You can connect as many iPads as you need to the same event. Each iPad must be signed in to the same Cloud account and synced to the same event. All their uploads feed the same queue — DMBot draws them in arrival order.
Tip: At multi-iPad setups, use descriptive event names and confirm each iPad is synced to the correct event before going live.
