Studio, Capture, and Gallery

Studio, capture, and Gallery

BeadMod separates making the design from presenting it. Use the editor's scene controls to tune the look, Export to create a local or cloud asset, and Gallery to review the media linked to your designs.

Scene lighting

The Bracelet and Loom editors expose scene controls in the right sidebar. Handbag Designer has a Scene tab. All three use the same studio-style HDRI lighting system with a soft BeadMod background.

Environment presets

The current presets are:

  • Photo Studio — balanced starting light.
  • Studio (Bright) — brighter reflections and highlights.
  • Studio (Rotated) — the same studio with a changed light direction.
  • Studio (Dark) — lower-key lighting for contrast.

Tune the scene

  • Lighting Intensity runs from dark to bright and changes how strongly the environment illuminates the materials.
  • Light Direction / Rotation moves highlights around the design. In the Bracelet editor this is presented as a 0°–360° control; Loom and Handbag use the corresponding scene control.
  • Background Color changes the solid render background. The default is a warm clay tone (#f2e9e2).
  • Enable Glow (Bloom) adds a soft highlight bloom where the editor exposes it.
  • Reset Camera returns the 3D view to its fitted starting position.

For reflective metal, try Bright and rotate until the highlight defines the shape. For matte or dark materials, start with Photo Studio or Dark and increase intensity only as needed.

Capturing an image

Bracelet Designer

  1. Save the design if it is new.
  2. Open Export and choose Capture image.
  3. Select an aspect ratio in the Capture Image dialog.
  4. Choose a transparent or solid background.
  5. Choose Download to Device, Save to Cloud Gallery, or both.
  6. Click Capture Image.

The capture dialog previews the crop and reports the output resolution. Cloud Gallery is available on paid plans; local download is available directly to your device.

Loom Designer

Open Export and choose the option you need:

  • Capture image — capture the current 3D view with an aspect ratio.
  • Download pattern image — download the pattern as a PNG.
  • Pattern Info — open the printable bead and layout information.

Use Save as Pattern when the goal is a reusable library pattern rather than a presentation image.

Handbag Designer

Save the handbag, use Fit handbag and orbit to the desired view, then open AI Visualize for a design-aware presentation image. Handbag media is linked to the saved handbag in Gallery.

Turntable video

The Bracelet Designer can record a one-rotation turntable from the canvas when the browser supports MediaRecorder.

  1. Save the design.
  2. Open Export and choose Record video.
  3. Review the recording settings and start the capture.
  4. Let the design complete one 360° rotation.
  5. Download the .webm file, or save it to Cloud Gallery when that option is available.

The current recorder defaults to a 5-second, 30 FPS turntable at a 1920 × 1080 target size. The final browser output is WebM, not MP4. Large designs or slower devices can take longer to finish.

AI Visualize

AI Visualize places the current 3D design into a generated scene while using the design image as a structural reference.

  1. Save the design first. Bracelet and Loom editors prompt you to save; Handbag Designer saves the current revision as part of preparation.
  2. Open AI Visualize.
  3. Choose a scene category: Studio, Lifestyle, Luxury, Natural, Editorial, or Detail.
  4. Choose a preset or write a custom prompt.
  5. Adjust Structure Strength to control how closely the result follows the design.
  6. Choose the model and aspect ratio options shown by the dialog.
  7. Generate, then optionally refine the result or download it.

The dialog can show earlier generated images. Click an image to preview it; use Shift+Click to select it as an additional reference when the selected model allows it. AI generation spends tokens, and the dialog shows the current cost before you generate.

Handbag Designer filters presets to construction-aware scenes such as Studio Hero, Carried in Context, Editorial Campaign, and Beadwork Detail.

Open Gallery from the dashboard sidebar. The current gallery has three tabs:

  • Images — captures and AI-generated images.
  • Videos — recorded turntables.
  • Reference images — uploaded or saved references for AI workflows.

Use the search field and filters to narrow media by project, design type, source, and date. Images can be previewed, downloaded, or deleted. Deletion is permanent for the selected media, so verify the item before confirming.

A reliable presentation workflow

  1. Finish the bead, grid, or panel design.
  2. Save the current revision.
  3. Choose a camera angle and fit the object to the view.
  4. Select the environment, intensity, rotation, and background.
  5. Capture a clean PNG for the thumbnail.
  6. Generate an AI visualization only after the structural design looks correct.
  7. Record a turntable if the design benefits from multiple angles.
  8. Review the results in Gallery and download the final assets.
