| Scene7’s Imaging Authoring
(IA) is a workstation-based application that lets you prepare
(“author”) images for dynamic texture rendering
and pre-generate rendered images for print – all from
a single original image. |
|
 |
Benefits
For companies currently photographing or manually creating all
color, pattern, texture and surface options for each SKU, instead
dynamically generate each option from a single master image
– reducing photography and creative production costs.
Companies using Image Authoring have enjoyed significant business
benefits including: |
 |
| · |
Driving impressions 150% |
| · |
Increasing conversion rates up to 15% by showing
all product options |
| · |
Reducing actual photography costs up to 80%,
including models, studio and sampling costs |
| · |
Ability to select consistent high quality imagery
to showcase all product options |
| Image Authoring is production-proven
and utilized by over 40 leading retailers and manufacturers.

Key Features
Author an image once, then dynamically apply infinite
combinations of textures, colors, materials, patterns, surfaces,
graphics, logos, and contexts. The rendered images all look
like original photographs. Even complex patterns and products
(leather, mohair, and sheers) include effects like reflections,
lighting, and shadows. Whether your images are on-model, room
scenes, or stand-alone product shots, IA can present all your
product options without re-photographing each product/option
combination. |

Scene7 Platform Integration
Any rendered image can be used as a source image for Zoom or
any other dynamic imaging features, using Scene7’s
Image Server. Image Authoring also works in conjunction
with Scene7’s Render
Server for real-time texture and contour rendering. Simply
publish authored images prepared with Image Authoring and digitized
texture options to a Scene7 Render
Server for ‘on the fly’ dynamic rendering. Real-time
rendering is ideal for companies with a large number of product
combinations and options. |
 |
| Scene7's Image
Production System (IPS) is an optional add-on to manage,
enhance, and publish your web imagery. IPS allows you to easily
upload and manage all authored images and digital textures.
And you can quickly batch render all newly created images directly
into IPS in all combinations for storage and publishing. From
IPS, simply publish authored images and digital textures to
Render Server
for dynamic rendering applications. |
 |
| IA is an integral component of the
Dynamic Imaging
and Product Configurators solutions for both dynamic and static texture
and color rendering. |
