Background replacement

Car background replacement for dealer stock

Photograph the car where it is parked. The lot, the fence and the sky go; the car stands on one of 260+ lit studio sets, with a reflection and a shadow worked out for that car, not stamped on.

  • Window glass and tilt fixed too

What the console does

More than a cut-out on a backdrop.

Removing the lot is the easy part, and on its own it leaves a car floating on a picture. These are the steps that stand it on the floor.

Same photo, any set

Change the studio after the shoot.

Re-render the same car on a different set as often as you like. It is still the same vehicle, so it costs nothing more.

How it works

Shot on the lot. Listed from the studio.

  1. 1

    Shoot it where it stands

    Any phone. One walk round the car; the console's angle guide shows which shots make a full set.

  2. 2

    Pick the studio

    From 260+ sets, or your own with your logo on the wall.

  3. 3

    Download or publish

    Download the images, put the spin on your site, or have the API call your endpoint when the render is done.

What it costs

Priced by the car, not the photo.

One vehicle is one price, however many angles it takes: up to 30 photos on a studio set, the 360° spin and the video tour. Re-render it on another set and it is still the same vehicle.

Questions

Asked before the first car.

Do I need a studio, a turntable or special lighting?

No. Any phone, wherever the car is parked: the lot, the kerb, the workshop yard. The studio, the light and the floor come from the set you pick.

Will it look like a cut-out pasted onto a picture?

That is what the extra steps are for. The car is levelled, placed at the size the set was built for, the glass is restaged, and the reflection and shadow are computed for that car. Drag the before-and-after at the top of the page to compare.

Can I change the background after the photos are rendered?

Yes. Re-render the same vehicle on another set whenever you like. It is the same vehicle, so it costs nothing more.

How long does a render take?

Once the GPU is running, a studio photo takes seconds and a spin a few minutes. If nobody has rendered for a while it has to start first, which adds one to two and a half minutes to the first job.

Can I use my own showroom instead?

Put your dealership's logo on the wall of one of our studios and it becomes a set only your dealership shoots in. That comes with the Lot plan and up; see plates, logo and banners.

Try it on three of your own cars.

No card, no call. Photograph them where they are parked and see what comes back.
