How to use it
Start here
DuoHand works the way a studio works: you say what the collection has to do, it comes back with directions, you argue, it builds. This is the shape of a run.
- 01
Start a collection
One body of work, holding the brief, the directions, the models, the sheets and the deck.
- 02
Give it the brief
Answer its questions. What you leave vague it asks about rather than guessing.
- 03
Choose, and kill the rest
Say which direction and why, and what is wrong with the others.
- 04
Let it build
Modelling and layout run on your machine through Bench, and every step that writes or runs asks first.
- 05
Take the files
They land in your folders, in the formats your workshop already uses.
Getting more out of it
Three habits that pay
Say why, not just no
A reason travels to the next piece. A bare rejection teaches it very little.
Bring your archive
Old collections tell it how you decide faster than any brief can.
Give it a whole chapter
It works better on a job with an end than on one message at a time.
Questions
While you work
Can I stop it mid-job?
Yes, and you can refuse any single step when it asks.
Where do the files go?
Into your own folders, on your own machine.
How do I know what it cost?
Every answer carries its price, and long jobs report as they run.
Open it and start
A brief, or a photograph of something you have already made.
