# Photo & Video References

Good reference photos and videos help us model your products accurately. Learn which images, details, dimensions and videos to send.

Send us the right images and your products can be modelled quickly and accurately. The examples below show the type of images and details that help us create 3D models from photos.

Even if you provide CAD models, images like these are extremely useful. They show us the real product behaviour for things like wrinkles, creases, welds and stitching.

***

## Key images

Send a series of key images showing the overall form of the product. In this example, the product is a chair:

***

## Important details

Highlight any important details, ideally with notes:

***

## What not to send

Avoid photos taken into the light. In the example below, the image on the left was taken into the light with the focus on the outside, which makes it dark. This is an extreme case, but your images should look like the one on the right, labelled **good lighting**.

***

## Dimensions

Send as many dimensions as you can, from as many angles as possible. Below is an example of the dimensions we need:

## Video

A video taken around the product, like the one below, is an added bonus. We can extract images from these videos to use as references.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.mimeeq.com/configurator/3d-assets/photo-and-video-references.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
