ArtCraft: Stage AI images and videos in 2D and 3D before you generate
Added · Updated
Made by ArtCraft
View profile on GitHub (opens in a new tab)Pose characters, set up a 3D scene and camera, then generate images or video from it.
For artists and filmmakers who want more control than a text prompt.
What it does
ArtCraft is a desktop app the creators call an IDE (an all-in-one workspace) for AI image and video creation. Instead of only typing a prompt, you build the scene first: layer images in 2D, place props and backdrops in 3D, pose a mannequin and set the camera. ArtCraft then sends that composition to the image, video, 3D or music model you pick. The creators list a catalog of 62 models from families such as Nano Banana, FLUX, Seedream, Kling, Veo, Sora, Suno and Hunyuan 3D.
How to use it
Input → action → output: start with a text prompt or an existing image, refine it with canvas tools (masks, drawing, background removal) or 3D staging, choose a model, and get a new image, video clip, 3D mesh or world back.
Common use cases
- Pose a 3D mannequin, frame the camera angle, and generate a final shot where your character matches that pose.
- Upload a product photo, turn it into a 3D mesh, then rotate and place it inside a new scene.
- Take a still image you made and animate it into a short video clip using a video model you choose.
Can I use this?
Requirements Download a release from the project's GitHub releases or build from source. The code is open source, dual-licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0. Which models need separate provider accounts is not documented in the source.
Caveat Several catalog entries are marked as currently disabled, and some restricted models are not available in the desktop app. Output quality depends on the outside model you choose.
Worth knowing Some listed models are marked as currently disabled or restricted. More previews for relighting, canvas editing and inpainting are still coming.
