Students apply Flux Schnell and Flux Dev with ControlNet, LoRAs, and Flux Redux for styled, controlled outputs, use Flux Fill for inpainting and upscaling, then combine these techniques with Flux Kontext Dev for multimodal image-and-text editing, Kling AI for image-to-video animation, and Hunyuan 2.5 to convert 2D images into 3D models. The course is Intermediate level and expects prior familiarity with ComfyUI. ## What you'll learn - Generate architectural images using the full Flux model suite in ComfyUI. - Build fast text-to-image workflows with Flux Schnell. - Apply LoRAs and image references for custom styles. - Guide designs with ControlNets and refine using flux fill. - Combine tools into advanced, flexible workflows. - Edit images with text and visuals using Kontext Dev. - Create animated architectural videos with Kling AI. - Turn 2D images into 3D models using Hunyuan 2.5. ## Methodology This workshop will provide architects with a comprehensive mastery of the Flux model suite, moving from foundational text-to-image to complex, multi-conditional workflows. The workshop focuses on leveraging the unique capabilities of each Flux variant to achieve unparalleled control, quality, and efficiency in architectural concept generation, refinement, and translation into dynamic video and 3D forms. ### Program: ### Day 1: Flux Foundations & Core Architectural Techniques (4 Hours) Focus: Building a deep understanding of the core Flux models and mastering the essential techniques for image generation, control, and refinement in an architectural context. ### Hour 1: Introduction to the Flux Era & Core Generation Presentation: _The Diffusion Architect 3.0 – Why the Flux Era? _ - Overview of the Flux architecture: What makes it a paradigm shift from previous models (speed, efficiency, transformer base). - Introduction to the specific Flux variants and their roles: schnell (speed) - dev (quality/control) - fill (utility) - kontext dev (multimodality) Text-to-Image with flux schnell - Creating a foundational text-to-image workflow in ComfyUI. - Exploring the speed and characteristics of flux schnell for rapid architectural ideation and concept development. - Prompting strategies tailored to schnell's behavior.
