BeadMod documentation

BeadMod is a visual workspace for designing beaded jewellery, loom patterns, and structured beaded handbags. The current product is organised into three studios that share cloud saving, media exports, responsive controls, and an interactive first-design guide.

I am new to BeadMod

1. Getting started — understand the dashboard and first-design guide.
2. Studios and product types — choose between a strand, loom, or handbag workflow.
3. Properties and materials — customise beads, thread, layout, and scene settings.
4. Studio, capture, and gallery — create stills, turntables, and reusable references.

I want to make a loom pattern

1. Loom AI features — import images, generate patterns, extract colours, and use the library.
2. Loom AI quick reference — keep the main controls nearby while you work.
3. Bead types — choose shapes and accents for a strand or panel.

I want to make a handbag

1. Handbag Designer — learn panels, stitch layouts, stamps, styles, and the 3D preview.
2. Studio features — prepare a clean preview and AI visualization.
3. FAQ — check save, quota, media, and troubleshooting answers.

What changed in the current version

• The dashboard is now My Studio, with separate Bracelet, Loom, and Handbag tabs.
• The Bracelet Designer still supports five strand product types: bracelet, necklace, ring, earrings, and anklet.
• The Loom Designer combines a paintable grid with a 3D preview and supports image import, AI generation, AI extraction, reusable stamps, pattern presets, resize, fill, colour replacement, and pattern export.
• The Handbag Designer is a Beta panel-based editor with curated styles, four stitch layouts, per-panel grids, reusable stamps, 3D orbit/fit controls, wireframe reshaping, draft recovery, and AI-assisted style changes.
• Saved designs, generated images, captures, and videos are managed from the dashboard and Gallery.
• The first-design guide is task-based: it completes when you perform the action in the editor, and it can be dismissed, resumed, or practised again.

Shared controls

• Undo / Redo: available in each editor. Keyboard shortcuts are Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z on Windows; use Cmd instead of Ctrl on macOS.
• Save: saves the current design to your account. New designs use a name prompt; existing designs are updated.
• Export: opens capture, download, pattern-info, or video options appropriate to the editor.
• AI Visualize: saves the current design when required, then opens scene presets and custom-prompt controls. Generation spends AI tokens.
• Guide: opens the task-based first-design checklist.
• Gallery: stores captures and AI-generated images, plus videos and reference images when available on your plan.

Limits and plans

Project allowances and AI tokens are plan-dependent. The sidebar shows the current token balance and separate Bracelet, Loom, and Handbag project meters. Open Subscription or Pricing & plans from the account menu for the live limits and storage allowance on your account.

Documentation snapshots
