ArtCraft Beginner Guide
Create Your First ArtCraft Project
This beginner-friendly guide covers the core ArtCraft workflow from opening the web or desktop experience to turning an idea into an image, video, or 3D result. Follow the steps in order to become familiar with the workspace and its main creative controls.
Open ArtCraft
Access ArtCraft through the web experience or the desktop application, then enter the main creative workspace where projects, generation tools, and editing controls are available.
- Open the ArtCraft website or desktop application
- Enter the workspace
- Review the available creation and editing tools
Choose a Creation Type
Select the type of content you want to make. ArtCraft supports workflows for generated images, video-oriented creations, and spatial or 3D content.
- Choose an image, video, or 3D-oriented workflow
- Select a suitable starting canvas or scene
- Decide whether to begin from text, an image, or an existing setup
Add Prompts and Reference Assets
Describe the intended result with a prompt and optionally import reference images or other creative materials to guide the composition, subject, style, or environment.
- Write a clear description of the desired result
- Import a reference image when visual guidance is needed
- Set the subject, environment, composition, and visual direction
Generate and Review the Result
Start the generation process, inspect the output, and compare the result with your original creative direction. Use the workspace controls to refine the result when needed.
- Run the generation
- Review the output in the workspace
- Adjust the prompt, reference, or scene setup and generate again
Edit and Export
Use ArtCraft editing and compositing tools to improve the selected result, then save or export the finished image, video, or 3D composition.
- Make final visual adjustments
- Confirm the preferred version
- Save or export the completed creation
ArtCraft AI Image Generator
Turn Ideas and References into Images
ArtCraft combines prompt-based generation with reference-driven creation and image editing. Use these workflows to define the subject, control the visual arrangement, replace backgrounds, and progressively refine an image instead of relying on a single prompt alone.
Text-to-Image Generation
Describe the subject, setting, mood, style, lighting, and composition in natural language, then use the prompt as the foundation for a new image.
Best for
Workflow
- Define the main subject
- Describe the environment and visual direction
- Add composition, lighting, and camera details
- Generate and refine the result
Reference Image Guidance
Use an imported image to provide visual direction for the generation. Reference material can help communicate appearance, composition, subject identity, or overall design intent.
Best for
Workflow
- Import a suitable reference image
- Explain what should be preserved or changed
- Combine the reference with a focused prompt
- Review the generated variations
Image Editing and Refinement
Iterate on an existing image by changing selected visual elements while keeping the broader concept intact. This approach is useful for correcting details and exploring alternate versions.
Best for
Workflow
- Select the image to edit
- Describe the requested change
- Keep unchanged elements clearly defined
- Generate and compare the edited result
Background Replacement
Change the surrounding environment or backdrop while keeping the primary subject as the focus of the composition.
Best for
Workflow
- Identify the main subject
- Describe the replacement background
- Specify matching light, perspective, and mood
- Review the subject-to-background integration
Controlled Composition
Guide the placement and visual hierarchy of the image by specifying framing, viewpoint, subject position, depth, lighting, and relationships between scene elements.
Best for
Workflow
- Choose the framing and viewpoint
- Place the main subject within the scene
- Describe depth, negative space, and lighting
- Refine the prompt until the composition matches the goal
ArtCraft 3D Editor
Build Scenes with the ArtCraft 3D Editor
The ArtCraft 3D Editor is designed for workflows that require more than a flat image. Start with an image or preset, arrange the scene, position the camera, and generate a result that uses depth, perspective, and environmental context.
Start with an Image or Preset
Begin by importing an image or selecting a preset that provides the foundation for the scene. The starting asset helps establish the subject, environment, or overall visual direction.
- Choose an image or preset
- Review the initial scene setup
- Identify the elements that need to be adjusted
Set Up the Scene
Organize the available scene elements and define the spatial relationship between the foreground, subject, background, and surrounding environment.
- Place the main subject in the scene
- Arrange environmental elements
- Create a clear foreground, middle ground, and background
Adjust Spatial Relationships
Refine the apparent depth and perspective by positioning scene elements relative to one another. This supports 3D compositing and image-to-location workflows.
- Move elements closer to or farther from the camera
- Align subjects with the environment
- Check scale, perspective, and depth continuity
Control the Camera
Adjust the camera viewpoint to determine framing, angle, distance, and the way the scene is presented to the viewer.
- Choose the viewing angle
- Set the framing and camera distance
- Balance the subject position with the surrounding space
Generate the Spatial Composition
Once the scene and camera are ready, generate the composition and review how the visual elements work together in a depth-based environment.
- Generate the scene
- Inspect perspective and visual depth
- Return to the scene or camera controls for refinement
ArtCraft Prompts and Workflows
Build Repeatable Prompts for Images, Video, and Scenes
Effective ArtCraft prompting is less about collecting isolated keywords and more about organizing creative intent. Start with the subject, add the environment and action, then define composition, camera, lighting, and the desired output. Reusable structures make it easier to compare iterations and refine results.
Image Prompt Structure
A practical structure for creating a focused image prompt with clear visual priorities.
Prompt template
[subject], [appearance or action], in [environment], [composition and viewpoint], [lighting and mood], [visual style]Workflow
- Define one primary subject
- Describe the environment and context
- Add framing, viewpoint, and lighting
- Generate, compare, and refine one variable at a time
Reference-Led Workflow
Use a reference image to communicate visual intent, then state which elements should remain consistent and which should change.
Prompt template
Use the reference image as guidance for [subject, pose, layout, or appearance]. Preserve [elements to keep]. Change [elements to modify]. Place the result in [new environment or context].Workflow
- Choose a reference with useful visual information
- Separate preserved elements from requested changes
- Add the target environment and composition
- Review whether the reference influence supports the intended result
Scene and 3D Compositing Workflow
Structure prompts around spatial relationships when building a scene with depth, location context, or a controlled camera.
Prompt template
[subject] positioned in [location], with [foreground elements], [background elements], [depth relationship], viewed from [camera angle and distance], using [lighting and atmosphere].Workflow
- Establish the location and subject
- Describe foreground, middle ground, and background
- Specify the camera viewpoint
- Check scale, perspective, and spatial continuity
Video-Oriented Prompt Structure
For moving-image concepts, describe the initial scene together with the subject motion, camera motion, atmosphere, and visual continuity.
Prompt template
[scene and subject], [action or movement], camera [camera movement], with [lighting, atmosphere, and pacing], maintaining [continuity requirements].Workflow
- Describe the opening visual state
- Add the subject or environmental movement
- Specify camera movement and pacing
- Refine continuity and the relationship between action and framing
Iteration and Comparison Loop
Use a repeatable refinement process instead of changing every part of a prompt at once.
Prompt template
Keep [successful elements]. Refine [one target issue]. Maintain [composition, subject identity, environment, or camera direction].Workflow
- Identify the strongest parts of the current result
- Choose one issue to improve
- Preserve successful composition and subject details
- Compare the new result with the previous version
