🛠️ How It Works

Step 1: Prepare Your Model

1. Create or import your 3D model in Blender
2. Organize your model objects into a collection
3. Make sure your model is properly scaled and positioned

Step 2: Set Up the Studio

1. Open the "Product Auto Uploader" panel in the 3D Viewport sidebar (press N to show/hide)
2. Select your model collection from the dropdown
3. Adjust lighting settings if needed:
   • Base Strength: Overall brightness of all lights
   • Key Light: Main studio light (usually brightest)
   • Fill Light: Softens shadows and fills dark areas
   • Rim Light: Creates edge definition and separation
4. Click "Product Scene Setup"

✨ That's it! The addon automatically creates:

• 8 professional camera angles positioned around your model
• 3-point studio lighting system (Key, Fill, Rim)
• Shadow catcher ground plane
• Proper scene organization

Step 3: Preview Your Shots

Use the camera buttons to quickly switch between different angles:

• Main Studio: Primary hero shot
• Turntable: 360° rotation view
• Wireframe: Technical mesh view
• Hero Angle: Dynamic perspective shot
• Detail Macro: Close-up detail view
• Low Dramatic: Low angle for impact
• High Beauty: Elevated beauty shot
• Corner Dynamic: Three-quarter view

Step 4: Export for Marketplaces

2. Choose your target marketplaces (each has different requirements)
3. Select render types you need:
   • Search Image: Thumbnail/preview image
   • Product Shots: Multiple angle beauty shots
   • Wireframe: Technical mesh visualization
   • Turntable: 360° animation frames
   • UV: Texture mapping layout
4. Pick file formats for export
5. Set your output folder
6. Click "RENDER PRODUCT" to generate all images
7. Click "EXPORT FORMATS" to save 3D files
8. Click "EXPORT METADATA" to generate descriptions and tags

💡 Pro Tips

🎨 For Better Results

• Position your model at the world origin (0,0,0) before setup
• Make sure your model faces forward (+Y direction)
• Use proper scale - the addon works best with real-world sized objects
• Clean up your mesh before setup (remove duplicate vertices, fix normals)

⚡ Workflow Optimization

• Set up the lighting once, then use "Edit" mode to adjust individual lights if needed
• Use the camera preview buttons to check all angles before rendering
• Start with default lighting settings, then fine-tune for your specific model
• Export to multiple marketplaces at once to save time

🔧 Troubleshooting

• If lights seem too bright/dim, adjust the "Base Strength" setting
• For very large models, increase the base strength
• For small models, decrease the base strength
• The "Edit" button lets you modify the setup after creation
• Use "Delete Setup" to start over if needed

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install the addon in Blender (Preferences → Add-ons → Install)
2. Enable "Product Lighting Setup" in the add-ons list
3. Find the "Product Auto Uploader" panel in the 3D Viewport sidebar
4. Select your model collection
5. Click "Product Scene Setup"
6. Start creating marketplace-ready renders!

🤖 AI Metadata Generation

The addon includes AI-powered metadata generation to help you create compelling product descriptions and tags. Simply add a brief description of your model in the AI Description field, and the addon will generate professional marketplace-ready metadata.

Note: You'll need to input your Gemini API key for the metadata generator to work.
