Hi Community,
Is there a easy way to cancel a 3D Model to Image generated render and revert to the initial object ?
I found how to hide or see the object guide but not how disable the effect applied.
Any assistance would be appreciate.
Thanks

If you use a background image and Match Image to generate lighting there is no way to jump back to the previous lighting outside of the undo history stack.
Once you save and close the document, you'd have to remove the lighting by adding new lighting in.
IMHO baCkup a copy is the right way.

Hi @Oxsmose it may be helpful if you share a screenshot or two because I'm not sure which effect you're trying to disable.
When you disable the guide object status it will turn back into a standard rendered object. If you're talking about the shadow catching effect, you can turn on/off the shadow catching effect from either the contextual tool bar or the viewport overlay management panel.
If you don't see the context bar you can enable it in the menus under Window > Contextual task bar. Click on "Guide visibility" button and then "Disable shadow catching".
Or in the overlay manager: In the viewport, go to the top-right and click on the eyeball icon to manage the visibility and status of viewport items. Disable guide shadow catching.
If it's a different effect you're looking for please let me know some more details with screenshots and we'll try to help!

Are you talking about creating 3D Model to Image like in my capture?

If you click on created image you can copy or download it. And than close image and you will get your object and scene back.
But I think you mean another point. Can you explain your steps more in details? Thank you

You can close the image with the "X" icon in the upper-right of the app or use the escape key. That will return you to the canvas working mode.

That icon opens browser and you can choose and place image as decal on your object. If you generating backround image or 3D model to image that icon activating "Match Image".
It seems I catch your problem. If you are generating backgraound or "3D Model to Image" do not pick your model as guide object. If you pick it, you need to use Undo as it looks like transparent. Do not pick it up and you will be able to continiue your work with object.
Another workaround is to save document before generating and than "revet to saved" from saved command

If I understand you, I can either upload an image as background with match image directly (option available when the node environment is selected) or if I used the "text to background" to generated a such image, image will be generated then I can adjust the light to match this image using also match to image.
Ex below, if I save a such project, I come back 1 day later and I want to revert the background and light adjustement, is their an easy way to? Or I need to backup a copy before as you suggest ?
