ArtCraft
ArtCraft is the IDE for interactive AI image and video creation. We turn prompting into crafting, so your ideas become a form of tangible expression and computing. This is Adobe Photoshop for everyone, and we're giving away the source code!
Show, Don't Tell: Advanced Crafting Features
Text-to-image is great, but artists need control. It's important to know what your image will look like before you generate it, and it's vitally important to achieve consistency and repeatability.
| Feature | Demo + Explanation
|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Image to Location | Placing virtual actors into physical environments establishes single-location consistency. You can film multiple shots within a room without having things disappear. |
| 3D Image Compositing |
Use images (backdrops, foreground elements, props, etc.) in scenes with depth and blend them naturally together. Just a couple of images usually leads to great compositions. |
| 2D Image Compositing |
Use images, background removal, layers, and simple drawing tools to precisely compose a scene. |
| Image to 3D Mesh |
It's almost impossible to lay out complicated objects or block complicated scenes; turning images into 3D helps position elements exactingly and intentionally. |
| Character Posing |
You can dynamically pose your characters to achieve the precise character, scene, and camera blocking before calling "action". |
| Scene Blocking w/ Kit Bashing |
Use 3D asset kits to precisely block out your scene: get the correct angles, object positions, and rich depth layering you can't with text prompting. |
| Character Identity Transfer |
Use mannequins as simple 3D ControlNets for posing any character. |
| Background Removal |
Remove backgrounds from images to make them useful in 2D or 3D compositing. They can be props, layers, or backdrops. |
| Mixed Asset Crafting |
You can use image cutouts, worlds, and simple 3D meshes all together to precisely and intentionally lay out your scenes. |
| Scene Blocking | (preview coming soon) |
| Canvas Editing | (preview coming soon) |
| Scene Relighting | (preview coming soon) |
Note: all of the above videos were generated for free with Grok Video; the cost to build this README was negligible.
