Generation Settings

Generation Settings are the tiles in the Settings section of the Studio panel. Each tile controls one part of the result: where the product is, how it is lit, where the camera sits, and so on. You do not need to fill them all in. Any tile you leave empty is filled in by Epox with a sensible choice, so start with one or two and add more as you learn what each does.

This guide covers every tile. For the full workflow around them, see Studio.

How tiles work

Open, choose, confirm

1. Click a tile. Its drawer slides open beside the panel (on a phone it fills the screen).
2. Choose an option or fill in the fields.
3. Confirm. How you confirm depends on the tile:

- Tap to choose: Style, Lighting, and Colors save the moment you click an option and the drawer closes. - Apply button: Scene, Camera, Elements, Reference, and Character have an Apply button at the bottom. Closing the drawer also keeps your changes if they are complete. - Video tiles: always press the Apply button. Closing a video drawer without applying discards your choice.

1. Click the open tile again to close its drawer.

Read a tile

• An empty tile has a dashed outline and shows only its name.
• A filled tile shows a picture or swatch and a short summary of your choice. Hover over it to read the full value.
• If an option you used was later removed from your workspace, the tile shows its old name crossed out with "removed" and counts as empty.

Clear a tile

• Click the small X on a filled tile. On the Image tab the tile stays in place, empty. On the Video tab the tile is removed from the grid, and you can bring it back with +.
• On the Image tab, Clear at the top of the Settings section resets everything at once: all tiles, your prompt, and any template you applied. There is no confirmation, so use it deliberately.

Add optional tiles

A fresh Image tab shows five tiles: Scene, Lighting, Elements, Camera, and Reference. Click + at the top of the section to add Style ("Define the artistic style"), Colors ("Define color scheme"), or Character ("Add human characters"). The drawer opens straight away. Colors and Character stay on the grid only while they have content; once you clear them, they disappear again.

The AI Assistant

The AI Assistant… button above the tiles fills them in for you.

1. Click AI Assistant…. A chat titled Epoxy opens, with the prompt "Describe what you want, I'll set it up".
2. Type what you want, for example "a bright Scandinavian living room with a small plant next to the product". You can attach one image.
3. Epoxy replies and offers an Apply Settings button. Click it.
4. On the Image tab, applying replaces your current tiles with the assistant's version, so anything you had set but the assistant did not include is cleared. Review the tiles afterwards and adjust.

See Epoxy for tips.

Image settings

Scene

Role: where your product appears. This is the biggest single decision in a lifestyle image.

Fill it in:

1. Click Scene. The drawer is titled Scene Placement.
2. Choose a tab: Indoor, Outdoor, or Studio. Use the Search scenes... box to find one quickly.
3. Click a scene card. A small field appears under the selected card where you can say where the product sits, for example "on the shelf". This is optional.
4. Click Apply Changes.

Choose from the many scenes in each tab and pick the one closest to where your customer would use the product.

Examples: Indoor has Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom, Hotel Lobby and Cafe. Outdoor has Garden, Beachfront, Urban Street and Forest. Studio has clean backdrops such as Infinite Void, Flat Backdrop Set and Silk Drapery.

Make your own: open Create custom scene and fill in Scene Name (one to five words), Scene Description (the setting in general terms), and Product Placement (where the product rests). Leave small props and lighting for the Elements and Lighting tiles.

Good to know: the tab you choose sets the kind of image. Studio gives a clean catalog look and Indoor or Outdoor gives a lifestyle look. Lighting starts on the matching tab.

Style

Role: the overall look and feel, such as minimal, luxurious, or rustic.

Fill it in:

1. Click + at the top of the Settings section, then Style (or click the Style tile if it is already there). The drawer is titled Style Selection.
2. Click a style card. It applies immediately.

Examples: Japandi Minimalist, Neo-Classic Luxury, Seamless Ecom Isolation, High-End Editorial, Casual Airy, Classic Cozy.

Make your own: open Create Custom Style, give it a Style Name, describe it in Style Narrative, and click Apply Style. A name is required.

Tip: choose a style that matches your brand and keep it the same across a collection.

Camera

Role: the angle you view the product from, the type of lens, and how much of the frame the product fills.

Fill it in:

1. Click Camera. The drawer is titled Camera Config.
2. Pick at most one option in each group. Click a selected option again to undo it. You can use one, two, or all three groups.

- Shot Type: for example Frontal, 3/4 View, Top Down, Low Angle, Side Profile, Close-Up Detail. - Lens: Standard (50mm), Telephoto (85-135mm), Wide Angle (24-35mm), Macro (100mm). - Framing: Full Product, Tight Crop, Environmental, Full Bleed Detail.

1. Click Apply Camera.

Tip: use Top Down for flat items like clothing and stationery, 3/4 View for furniture and bags, and Macro with Close-Up Detail for texture and jewelry.

Elements

Role: the extra objects around and in front of the product, and how many there are.

Fill it in:

1. Click Elements. The drawer is titled Elements Configuration.
2. Under Density, pick how busy the image should be: None (Isolated), Minimal (1–2 accents), Styled (Curated), Lifestyle (Lived-in), or Excessive (Abundant). Choosing None removes all elements.
3. Choose a tab for where an element belongs:

- Scene: things in the environment, such as a window with an arch or small yellow flowers. - Product: things touching or interacting with the product, such as a folded linen throw or water droplets. - Frame: things close to the camera that frame the shot.

1. Click Add to the tab, type a Name / Title (and an optional Description of materials or placement), then click Add Element.
2. Or click a suggestion chip to add it in one click. Suggestions match your scene and product type.
3. In Current Elements, click the pencil to edit an element or the X to remove it.
4. Click Apply Elements.

Tip: name one or two elements specifically rather than adding many. A crowded scene pulls attention away from the product.

Reference

Role: show Epox a photo whose mood, colours, style, or composition you want to echo. The photo is used as inspiration and is not copied into your result.

Fill it in:

1. Click Reference. The drawer is titled Reference Image.
2. Click Add Reference. A picker opens with three tabs: Upload (from your computer, or drag and drop), Explore (stock photos), and My Library (your own images).
3. Choose an image and click Select Image. You can add one image.
4. In Notes, say what to take from it, for example "match the mood and color palette".
5. Click Apply.

To swap the image, click it. To remove it, hover over it and click the X.

Tip: the more specific your note, the closer the result. "Match the warm evening light" works better than no note.

Lighting

Role: the quality and mood of the light.

Fill it in:

1. Click Lighting. The drawer is titled Lighting Setup.
2. Choose a tab: Lifestyle (natural and indoor light) or Studio.
3. Click a card. It applies immediately.

Examples: Soft Window Light, Cozy Evening Mood, Rich Golden Hour and Flat Cloudy Sky for lifestyle scenes. Perfect Ecom White, Dramatic Museum Spot, Dark Moody Shadows and Glowing Beauty Light for studio images.

Tip: for marketplace images use Perfect Ecom White. For ads and social use a moodier option such as Rich Golden Hour.

Colors (optional)

Role: the dominant colour scheme of the image.

Fill it in:

1. Click +, then Colors. The drawer is titled Color Templates.
2. Search or scroll the palette list and click one. It applies immediately.

Examples: Minimalist White (High Key), Scandi Neutrals, Earthy Organic, Soft Pastels, Dark Luxury (Noir), Jewel Tones, Golden Hour (Sunwashed), Quiet Luxury (Mocha & Espresso).

Make your own: open Create Custom Palette, enter a Palette Name, describe the feel in Palette Narrative, and optionally pick up to four colours. Click Apply Colors.

Character (optional)

Role: puts a person in the image and decides who they are and what they are doing.

Fill it in:

1. Click +, then Character. The drawer is titled Character.
2. Under The Action, choose Framing (Full Body, Upper Body, Close-up, Hands Only). Then, in the Interaction box, pick a suggestion such as Holding the product, Wearing, Using the product or Looking at camera, or type your own and press Enter.
3. Under The Model, choose who appears:

- My Models: people you have saved in your workspace. - Epox Models: ready-made models, when available. - Custom: describe them by picking Gender, Age, Origin, and Body Type.

1. Click Apply.

Save a model of your own:

1. In My Models, click the New tile.
2. Add up to 5 reference images, by uploading them or choosing Browse Workspace Library. The first image is the portrait. You cannot mix uploads and library images.
3. Enter a Model Name, then click Save Model.
4. To change it later, click the pencil on the model, then Update Model, or Delete Model to remove it.

Good to know: if you choose a saved model, it is used instead of the custom attributes. CLEAR at the top of the drawer resets the fields.

Video settings

The Video tab has eight tiles. Each opens the same kind of drawer:

1. Click a tile.
2. Click one of the option cards, or Custom, to describe your own.
3. A text box appears. A preset fills it with a description you can edit. The box reads "Describe exactly what you want here…".
4. Click the Apply button at the bottom.

Click a selected card again to deselect it. Applying with nothing selected clears the tile.

Camera Motion

Role: how the camera moves during the clip.

Examples: Slow Orbit (circles the product), Push In, Pull Out, Horizontal Pan, Vertical Tilt, and in some workspaces Static (Locked Off), Crane / Boom, Handheld, and Dolly Track.

Tip: slow moves look premium. Use Slow Orbit for products you want to show from all sides.

Product Motion

Role: whether the product moves, and how.

Examples: Fixed Product, Slow Spin, 360 Turntable, Lift / Float, Mechanical Change, Unfold / Open, Unroll / Drape (for fabrics), Drop & Settle, Applied to Surface and Dispense / Pour (for creams and liquids), Assemble / Set.

Surface & Shadow

Role: what the product stands on and how its shadow or reflection looks.

Examples: Silo Shadow, Cutout Shadowless, Pedestal, Reflective Surface, Floating.

Lighting Motion

Role: how the light changes during the clip.

Examples: Static Studio (steady light), Soft Sweep, Highlight Glint, Rim Shift, Window Pass, Color Shift.

Lens

Role: the focal length and how blurred the background is.

Examples: 100mm Macro, 85mm Portrait, 50mm Natural, 35mm Documentary, 24mm Wide, 40mm Anamorphic.

Tip: for Custom write a short phrase such as "shot on a 50mm lens".

Pacing

Role: how fast the clip feels.

Options: Slow Premium, Medium Showcase, Fast Social.

Video Style

Role: the commercial feel of the clip.

Examples: Hero Reveal, Ecommerce Showcase, Luxury Close-Up, Social Ad Loop.

Human Presence

Role: whether a person appears in the video, and how.

Examples: POV Handheld, Shadow Pass, Idle Subject, and in some workspaces Hands Interacting, Hands Applying and Model Using It.

Several shots

Some video models work in shots, up to six. Each shot has its own eight tiles and its own description. The assistant button appears inside each shot's settings. The total duration is the sum of the shots, and you set the length per shot.

Prompt details and Enhance

The text box below the tiles is for anything the tiles cannot say. On the Image tab it reads Add additional prompt details.... On the Video tab it reads Describe the motion and action you want in your video....

Click Enhance in the corner of the box to have Epoxy sharpen your text. On the Image tab it may also fill in matching settings; tiles it does not touch keep your choices. Enhance does not use credits. Each plan has a daily allowance, and the button shows how many are left ("Enhance · N left today"). Click Undo enhance to step back, up to ten times. If you run out, a message tells you the allowance resets the next day.

Next steps

• Follow the whole flow in Studio.
