Getting started
BLOCKLORE is an AI creation tool built around a single canvas. On an infinite, freely zoomable surface you place nodes — images, video, audio, text, scripts, timeline edits — wire them together, and drive image, video, audio and voice generation until you have a finished piece.
This handbook is written against the real interface. Pick a chapter on the left; each page shows one chapter only, and every step is something you can follow along. Work through this chapter once and you will go from signing up to your first generated image.
Sign up and sign in
- Click Sign up / Sign in at the top-right of the nav. Email code, email password, Google / Discord / Telegram (shown per site config) and wallet-signature sign-in are all supported.
- While signed out, any action that needs an account (new canvas, fork a project, publish, and so on) pops up the sign-in dialog instead of forcing a page jump; only opening the canvas editor itself requires signing in first.
- New accounts usually come with starter credits, shown in the top bar or the account menu. Generation is billed, and the starter credits are enough to try a few images.
Open a canvas
There are three ways to create a canvas; any one of them drops you straight into the editor:
- On the home Workspace block, click the New card, or click any of your Recent projects to open it;
- Open the Workspace page (nav Workspace, i.e. /dashboard) and click New canvas under the Private or Team tab;
- Open a template (/templates) or the Templates tab in Workspace and click Fork project to create an editable canvas from that template.
Your first win: text to image
Getting your first image on an empty canvas takes four steps:
- Double-click an empty spot on the canvas (long-press ~0.5s on touch), choose Image in the Add node menu to create an image node;
- Select that node — a generator bar appears at the bottom — and type the picture you want in the prompt box, e.g. "a lighthouse on a seaside cliff at dusk, cinematic";
- Pick a model in the generator bar; the credits this run will cost show live next to the send button;
- When it looks right, click send (or press ⌘/Ctrl + Enter). After a moment the result lands back on the node.
Your edits save automatically; the top bar shows Saved / Saving and the like, so there is no manual save.
The pieces of the interface to know
Once signed in, the desktop top nav reads, left to right: Home → Workspace → Community → AI Plays → Blog, with a Pricing link and the avatar menu on the right.
- Home: the promo carousel, your Recent projects, a community masonry, and entry points to Blog and templates;
- Workspace (/dashboard): your studio, split into Private, Team and Templates tabs;
- Community: browse works others have published; once signed in you can favorite, publish, and see your own history;
- Avatar menu: language switch, dark/light theme, the Tutorials & Docs entry, account settings, sign out. On mobile, Templates, Teams, the generation queue, Docs and Settings also fold into a side drawer.
