# Loom panel

The LOOM panel is divided into **five main sections**, arranged vertically from top to bottom.

***

### **1. Project Management**

At the top of the panel, you’ll find the **Project Manager**.

LOOM organizes your work into **projects**, which you can think of as folders.\
Each project contains all the results generated by the different LOOM AI models.

From this area you can:

* Create a new project (using the **New Project** button)
* Name your project as you wish
* Switch between different projects

This helps keep experiments, client work, iterations, and render sessions neatly organized.

***

### **2. Project Results Grid**

Under the project name, LOOM displays a **grid of results**.\
Every time you ask any LOOM AI model to process an image, create a render, generate a video, or build a mesh, the output will appear here.

This grid acts as a visual history of all results produced within the current project.

***

### **3. Task Type Selection**

Below the results grid, you’ll find the section where you choose **what type of task** you want to perform.

You can select:

* **Image-to-Render** → LOOM generates a new render based on an image you provide
* **Image-to-Video** → LOOM creates a short animated video starting from a static image
* **Text-to-Mesh** → LOOM generates a 3D mesh starting from a natural-language prompt

Selecting a task determines which LOOM AI model will be used and what inputs are required.

***

### **4. Image Selection & Preview**

Next, you have the **working image panel**.

This section displays:

* The **image currently selected** for processing
* A **preview** of the result once LOOM finishes generating it

Whether your input comes from the viewport, from your computer, or from a previous result, this is where you see what LOOM is working on.

***

### **5. Action Buttons**

At the bottom of the LOOM panel, you’ll find a horizontal row of action buttons (from left to right):

1. **Capture Viewport Image**\
   Captures an image of the current design in the RhinoArtisan viewport to use as input for LOOM.
2. **Upload Image**\
   Lets you upload an image from your computer to process with any LOOM AI model.
3. **Download Result**\
   Downloads the final result generated by LOOM.
4. **AI Model Selector**\
   Opens a menu where you choose which LOOM AI model you want to work with.
5. **Model Settings**\
   Allows you to configure detailed options for the selected AI model (resolution, refinement, parameters, etc.).
6. **Recipe Book**\
   A collection of saved presets or “recipes” that you can reuse across different projects.\
   You can save your own recipes for consistent workflow setups.

***

### **Summary**

LOOM offers a complete AI-powered environment for visual generation inside RhinoArtisan.\
With its project-based structure, flexible task options, live previews, and powerful toolset, it allows you to:

* Capture renders directly from your 3D viewport
* Upload and enhance images
* Generate videos
* Create new 3D meshes from text prompts
* Save and reuse creative workflows

LOOM becomes your centralized space for all visual content creation.
