Your First Flow

Build your first project on the canvas and understand the basic run loop.

Your First Flow

The fastest way to understand LooksCraft is to build a small flow yourself.

Goal

Create a simple workflow like:

Text Input -> Image Generation -> Output

This teaches the main loop:

  • create a project
  • add nodes
  • connect them
  • run a node
  • review output

Step 1: Create a project

Open Flow Studio and create a new project from the project switcher in the top bar.

You now have an empty canvas where your flow will live.

Step 2: Add nodes

Use the bottom toolbar to add:

  • Text Input
  • Image Generation
  • Output

If you want to start even faster, you can also open templates from the left action dock.

Step 3: Connect the flow

Connect:

  • the text output from Text Input to the text input on Image Generation
  • the image output from Image Generation to Output

Only compatible handle types can connect.

Step 4: Configure the image node

On the Image Generation node:

  • choose a model
  • write or refine the prompt
  • adjust any visible options like aspect ratio, quality, or resolution

The available controls change based on the model you select.

Step 5: Run the node

Run the image generation node.

When it starts:

  • the node enters a running state
  • a job is created behind the scenes
  • the result returns to the node when complete

If the run succeeds, the output preview appears on the node and can flow into downstream steps.

Step 6: Review and iterate

Once you get a result, you can:

  • change prompt or settings
  • switch models
  • add more nodes, such as video generation or transforms
  • save the flow as a template if you are allowed to do so

Good beginner upgrades

After your first flow works, try:

  • adding Upload before generation
  • adding Video Generation after image generation
  • adding Audio or Music Generation
  • adding an Output node for final delivery

If something does not work

Common causes:

  • handles are not type-compatible
  • required inputs are missing
  • the selected model needs a different source input
  • workspace credits are too low
