Consistent Product Angles Across Your Catalog: The 3D Reference Method
Catalog consistency isn't discipline — it's structure: one geometry source, locked camera poses, and one prompt skeleton shared across every SKU. The three-layer method for matching angles.
360° Product Turntable Video from a 3D Model (No Photoshoot)
Make a 360° product turntable video without a turntable or studio: capture evenly spaced views of your GLB model, keep one prompt skeleton across frames, and generate with the model API you configure.
BYOK Explained: Why Bring-Your-Own-API-Key Beats Credit Pools for Product Work
BYOK means no credit pool and no markup: generation goes straight from the client to the model API you configure. The economics, the honest trade-offs, and when a credit pool still wins.
Private AI Product Photos: Keep Unreleased Products Off Other People's Clouds
Private AI product photos are possible: local-first storage, generation that talks only to the model API you configure, and an MIT-licensed client you can audit — exactly what goes where.
AI Product Photo Prompts That Preserve Shape and Logo
Prompt techniques that keep AI product photos faithful: describe the scene, not the shape; constrain what must not move; and know when a prompt alone can't save the shot.
Shotshot Is Now Open Source (MIT): Why We Opened the Canvas
The Shotshot desktop app is now open source under MIT — canvas, agent, BYOK pipeline. What's in the repo, what the paid plans still sell, and why local-first had to be auditable.
10 Best AI Product Photography Tools (2D-Image Tools vs 3D-Model Tools)
Ten AI product photography tools compared honestly for 2026 — Photoroom, Pebblely, Flair, Caspa, Claid, Presti, and more — split by the input that decides everything: a product photo or a 3D model.
How to Turn a 3D Model into Product Photos (GLB/glTF Workflow)
Turn a 3D model into product photos: import a GLB/glTF file, frame your angles in 3D, capture reference views, and generate consistent product shots with the image model you configure.
