Image Guidelines for 3D Model Creation

Learn how to select and prepare the right product images for seamless 3D model generation using Imersian’s visualiser. This guide covers image requirements, alt tag usage, variant best practices, and how to handle bulk uploads or existing 3D assets. Better images = better results. Simple.

✅ What To Do

1. Use a clean, straight-on perspective.

Start with at least one clear image of the product, photographed front-on or from a natural angle. Think: what you'd see scrolling a product page—not a dramatic close-up or bird's-eye view.

2. White background, always.

Your image should be isolated on a white or solid neutral background (no wood floors, rugs, or moody walls, please). This helps us generate clean and accurate 3D models.

3. Tag it right.

Use the alt text imersianvisualiserimage so we know which images to pick up.
Got multiple angles? Even better—just use the same alt text on all of them.

4. One product per image.

No group shots. No props. No distractions. The product should be the hero—ideally cropped with just a bit of shadow underneath, if any.

5. Good lighting matters.

Make sure your images are sharp, well-lit, and not overexposed or dark. Natural light or soft studio lighting is best.

6. Do it for every variant.

Selling multiple colours, patterns, or finishes? We need an image for each variant. If you're missing images for certain SKUs, shoot us an email—we’ll help you out.

7. Stick to metric (for now).

We currently support dimensions in cm or mm. Using inches or feet? Imperial support is coming soon—but in the meantime, just reach out and we’ll help convert or process them manually.

🚫 What Not To Do

  • ❌ No lifestyle shots (save those for your lookbook)

  • ❌ No cut-off edges or extreme angles or fisheye lens

  • ❌ No watermarks, logos, or added graphics

  • ❌ No inconsistent image sizes (keep them uniform across variants)

Already Have 3D Models?

You’re ahead of the game! Upload your .glb, .fbx or .obj files directly in the Imersian portal.
Just head to Create → Upload, assign the right SKU manually, and you’re good to go.

⚠️ Important: Make sure the SKU in your model matches the one on your Shopify product page. This syncs everything neatly for the visualiser.

Need to Bulk Upload 3D Files?

Got a whole range of SKUs to upload? No problem—email us at info@imersian.com with your files and SKUs. We'll take it from there.
