Integration Insights
Stager is often integrated into workflows that involve:
Adobe Substance ecosystem: Designers use Substance 3D Painter and Designer to craft detailed textures, then bring them into Stager for scene composition.
E-commerce platforms: Assets are exported from Stager as high-quality renders or interactive 3D files (like glTF or USDZ) for Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom storefronts.
Marketing visuals: Stager’s lighting and camera tools help generate lifestyle shots and product hero images for ads and social media.
For embedding Stager shops into websites, widget-based integrations are preferred over legacy iframe methods—they offer better UX and compatibility with marketing tools.
Texture Optimization Tips
Use resolution wisely: For web, 2K textures often strike the right balance between quality and performance. Reserve 4K for zoomable product views.
Compress smartly: Export textures in formats like JPEG or WebP for web use, and use Substance tools to bake maps efficiently.
Material realism: Leverage roughness and normal maps to add tactile realism—especially for products like fabrics, metals, or plastics.
Lighting for E-Commerce
HDRI environments: Use neutral studio HDRIs for consistent lighting across product lines. You can tweak exposure and rotation to highlight key features.
Three-point lighting: Classic setup—key, fill, and rim lights—works wonders for product definition.
Shadow control: Soft shadows help ground the product without overpowering it. Use area lights and adjust softness for natural falloff.
Exporting for Online Shops
Static renders: Export as PNGs with transparent backgrounds for layering in web layouts.
Interactive 3D: Use glTF for web-based viewers (like Shopify’s 3D model viewer) or USDZ for Apple AR Quick Look.
Naming conventions: Keep filenames clean and descriptive—especially useful when batch exporting variants.
