Render Studio: photoreal images and turntables

Render Studio makes images of your Thing that look like photographs. Open it from Make → Render.

Set the scene

• Materials. Each piece gets a finish: matte or glossy plastic, metal, wood, glass and more. Bought parts keep their real finish.
• Scene. Pick an environment: Studio Soft (a warm-white backdrop), Desk Lifestyle, Golden Hour or Dark Hero.
• Ask for a look. Type it in plain words, like "premium product shot on a walnut desk, morning light", and the studio sets the scene for you.
• Camera. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, right-drag to pan. The crosshair button sets the focus point. The grid button shows framing guides.

The preview refines itself while you watch. It starts grainy and gets cleaner every second. That's path tracing: light is traced the way a real camera sees it.

Render a still or a turntable

• Still. Choose the size (1080p, 2K or 4K) and the quality:

  • Draft (96 samples) is quick.
  • Standard (384 samples) is clean.
  • High (1024 samples) is for final images.

  4K stills cost credits (see Credits explained).

• Turntable. A short video of the Thing spinning, saved as MP4 (WebM when your browser can't make MP4). Turntables are part of the Pro plan.

• Exploded view. Use the explode slider to pull the pieces apart before you render.

• AI enhance. Optionally polish a finished still into marketing imagery.

Renders are saved with the Thing, so you'll find them again under Recent renders.

When rendering is slow on your computer

Rendering runs on your computer's graphics card (GPU). On laptops with built-in graphics, older computers, or browsers that draw 3D without the graphics card, a render can take many minutes, and the page can feel sluggish while it works.

Render Studio tells you when that happens. You'll see a note saying rendering is slow on this computer. If your browser isn't using the graphics card at all, the note says no graphics acceleration. To speed things up:

• Pick Draft quality, or a smaller size (1080p instead of 4K).
• Let the preview finish before you move the camera, because every move restarts it.
• Close other heavy tabs and apps, and plug a laptop in (on battery, graphics often slow down).
• Check that hardware acceleration is on in your browser's settings. In Chrome, that's Settings → System → Use graphics acceleration when available.
• For big, final renders, use a computer with a dedicated graphics card (for example NVIDIA or AMD, or a recent Apple silicon Mac).
