Productstage
ProductStage is a Blender 4.x add-on that builds product photo studios in minutes with cinematic presets and a clean
export flow.
Why you want it
- Faster production: go from empty scene to render-ready in minutes.
- Consistent look: presets and safe modes keep outputs uniform.
- Simple control: lights and camera from a single panel.
- Frictionless export: profiles, transparency, watermark, and a persistent queue.
Requirements
- Blender 4.0+ (tested 4.1/4.2/5.0.1).
- Works 100% offline; no keys or external services required.
Installation
1. Zip the STUDIOFORM folder (e.g., ProductStage.zip).
2. In Blender: Preferences > Add-ons > Install… select the ZIP and enable.
3. Open the N-Panel (N) in the 3D View and go to the ProductStage tab.
Quick workflow
1. Select your product object(s).
2. Choose a studio preset and click Apply Preset.
3. Adjust framing, DOF, and lights (gain/temperature/toggles).
4. Export via the render/export button or add jobs to the queue.
Key features
- Production-ready studio presets (camera, lights, and safe background).
- Camera: safe framing and depth of field controls.
- Lights: master gain, key/fill/rim/accent on/off, and temperature.
- Export: PNG, JPEG, OPEN_EXR, WEBP, TIFF; supports transparency and watermark.
- Persistent queue: pause/resume/cancel, clear completed, retry failed; state stored at %APPDATA%\\Blender\\...\
\auto_photo_studio\\queue_state.json (temp fallback).
Where renders are saved
- In the .blend folder; if the file isn’t saved, HOME/AutoPhotoStudioRenders.
Support and troubleshooting
- Panel doesn’t show up: open the N-Panel and check the Blender console for registration errors.
- Queue stuck: use “Retry failed” or delete queue_state.json to reset.
- When reporting an issue, include Blender version, console log, and if relevant, queue_state.json or a
minimal .blend.
