Which Splatware model should product teams choose?
Choose based on buyer-facing quality, detail importance, and performance target.
Product model choice
| Model | Best for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| LiteV2 | Tests and rough previews. | Free validation before premium training. |
| Cinematic | Most product pages and client-ready visuals. | Strong quality with practical workflow. |
| Ultra | Luxury, complex, reflective, or premium assets. | Highest-fidelity direction. |
| Custom Gaussian count | Balancing detail and file size. | Product viewers must load fast. |
| Physics mesh | Interactive or geometry workflows. | Useful when product geometry matters. |
| Studio renders | Fallback images/videos. | Improves ecommerce UX. |
How should products be captured for the best model?
Use controlled lighting, full coverage, detail passes, and stable camera movement.
- Shoot full orbit coverage.
- Add close detail passes for important surfaces.
- Avoid harsh reflections.
- Keep the product still.
- Use DSLR or mirrorless images for premium results when possible.
- Clean background in Editor after training if needed.
Is this useful for Shopify and ecommerce?
Yes, product splats are useful when shoppers benefit from interactive inspection.
For Shopify, use the splat as one part of the media stack. Add rendered product photos, a short MP4 spin, and an interactive viewer or hosted Splatware link when inspection adds value.
How do you judge product splat quality?
A good product splat is complete, sharp, clean, aligned, and fast enough for the target page.
Product quality checks
| Check | Good result | Problem |
|---|---|---|
| Edges | Product outline is clean. | Floating splats or holes. |
| Materials | Finish is readable. | Blur or glare. |
| Background | Clean or intentionally styled. | Messy capture clutter. |
| Performance | Loads on target device. | Too heavy for web. |
| Detail | Important features visible. | Labels or small parts soft. |
| Framing | Strong opening view. | Confusing first angle. |
What product model mistakes should you avoid?
Avoid raw messy splats, high file sizes, poor lighting, and no fallback media.
- Do not publish unedited raw scans.
- Do not use Ultra if the web page cannot load it well.
- Do not skip mobile testing.
- Do not rely only on an interactive viewer for ecommerce.
- Do not capture reflective products without lighting control.
Frequently asked questions
Is Cinematic or Ultra better for product visualization?
Cinematic is best for most product visualization. Ultra is best for premium products, final hero assets, and maximum detail.
Should I use LiteV2 for products?
Use LiteV2 for tests and validation, not usually for final premium ecommerce output.
Can Splatware render product images?
Yes. Splatware Studio can render JPG, PNG, transparent PNG, MP4, and animations from product splats.
Can Splatware remove product backgrounds?
Yes. Use the Editor to cut, isolate, erase, align, and color grade product splats.
Can product splats be used on Shopify?
Yes, with hosted links, embeds, HTML export, or rendered media depending on the storefront.
What Gaussian count should product models use?
Use enough to preserve detail while keeping the viewer fast. Test medium and high settings based on target output.
Can Splatware provide a physics mesh for products?
Yes, dense mesh options can support physics, collision, and geometry workflows.
What is the biggest product capture mistake?
Incomplete coverage and poor lighting are the biggest issues.
