What Is the Scene Generator

The Scene Generator is an AI-powered tool within Mimeeq AI Studio that lets you place your product into realistic lifestyle scenes. Instead of arranging a physical photoshoot with props, lighting, and a location, you describe the environment you want and it generates a high-quality image of your product within that setting.

This is particularly useful for creating marketing and e-commerce imagery such as:

• Lifestyle photography — Show your product in a real-world context (e.g. a sofa in a modern living room, an office chair in a workspace).
• Campaign visuals — Generate on-brand imagery for seasonal promotions, social media, or web banners.
• Catalogue and lookbook images — Produce consistent scene imagery across your entire product range without repeated photoshoots.

Because the Scene Generator works directly with your Mimeeq configurator, every product variation you've set up can be placed into a scene — meaning you can generate visuals for hundreds of combinations without any additional modelling or photography.

How to Use the Scene Generator

The Scene Generator workflow is divided into three sections: Objects (1), Scene Details (2), and Image Settings (3).

Step 1 — Add Your Objects

When you open the Scene Generator, you are first asked to upload an object.

There are two ways to do this:

Option A: Capture from the Mimeeq Configurator

Click the capture option to see a list of your products from the Mimeeq app. Select a product, configure it to the variation you need, position it at the desired angle, and capture it.

You can add up to 4 captures of the same product from different angles. This is useful when you want the AI to better understand the full shape and appearance of the product, or when you want multiple instances of the product to appear in a single scene.

Option B: Upload an Image

Alternatively, you can upload an image of your product directly from your device or media library. This is helpful if you're working with a product that isn't set up in the Mimeeq configurator.

Object Instructions

After adding an object, you can choose an instruction mode:

• Exact Match (1) — The AI will attempt to recreate the product exactly as it appears in your capture or photo.
• Custom Instruction (2) — You can write a custom prompt to modify the product or add elements to it (for example, "place a person sitting on the chair").

Reference Material

There is also an option to add a reference material (3). This allows you to override or adjust the material/finish of the product within the generated image. This feature is especially relevant when you've uploaded a photo of the product rather than capturing it from the configurator.

Note: You can add up to 10 objects per generation. Adding more than 10 is not supported, as it tends to reduce the quality of the generated results.

Step 2 — Define the Scene Details (Optional)

The Scene Details section lets you describe the environment your product should be placed in. There are three ways to define a scene:

Option A: Write a Description

Type a free-text description of the scene you want. For example:

• "A bright, minimal showroom with white walls and concrete flooring"
• "A warm Scandinavian-style living room with wooden floors, soft natural light coming through large windows, and a few green plants in the background. The overall mood should feel calm and inviting."
• "An outdoor terrace overlooking the ocean at sunset"

If you leave this field empty, the AI will automatically generate a scene that matches the visual style and context of the product itself.

Option B: Select a Template

Choose from a library of pre-built scene templates. These are default environments designed for common use cases, and the library will continue to expand over time.

Option C: Extract Styles

Upload a photo of a real environment — for example, a photo of your own living room or showroom. The AI will analyse the image and allow you to control how much of the reference it should follow. You can choose from one of the preset extraction modes (1):

• Exact Recreation — Copies everything including spatial layout and light direction. This produces results closest to the original photo.
• Full Style Transfer — Transfers the complete design language including furniture, decor, and photography style.
• Atmosphere Only — Captures lighting, colours, and general mood. This is great for setting a tone without copying specific furnishings.
• Photography Style — Extracts only the camera angle, lighting setup, and photographic treatment.

Alternatively, you can skip the presets and select **style categories (2) **manually to fine-tune exactly which elements of the reference photo should influence the generated scene.

Step 3 — Configure Image Settings (Optional)

Before generating, you can adjust the following output settings:

Step 4 — Generate and Use Your Images

Once you have added at least one object (and optionally configured your scene details and image settings), click the Generate button. The AI will process your inputs and produce the results.

Generated images are automatically saved to the Media Library, where you can:

• Download them for use on your website, social media, or campaigns.
• Use them as inputs in other Mimeeq AI Studio tools.
• Continue generating additional variations.

What Affects the Number of Credits per Generation

The Scene Generator uses a credit-based system. The two factors that determine credit cost are image quality and number of variations.

Base Cost per Image

Calculating Total Cost

The total credit cost for a single generation is:

Credits per image × Number of variations = Total credits

For example, generating 2 images at 4K quality costs 60 credits per image × 2 images = 120 credits.

Tips for Best Results

• Be specific in your scene descriptions. The more detail you provide (style, lighting, mood, materials), the more accurately the AI can match your vision.
• Use multiple captures for complex products. Adding 2–3 captures from different angles helps the AI understand the product's full shape and produce more accurate results.
• Try templates first. If you're unsure what scene to describe, start with a built-in template and refine from there.
• Use reference photos for brand consistency. Uploading a photo of your actual showroom or a target aesthetic ensures the generated scenes align with your brand look and feel.
• Experiment with the Creativity slider. Precise mode is great for predictable results, but Creative mode can sometimes produce unexpectedly compelling compositions worth exploring.
