Templates
The Templates page is your library of saved Studio setups. A template captures supported scene, lighting, camera, angle, and clip state from a project, then stages another prepared model inside that direction.
Reach it at Asset Library → Templates, or directly at /library/templates.
For the deeper concept of what a template is and how it captures studio settings, see Creating and Using Templates. This page focuses on the library-page experience.
What's on the page
- Toolbar - Count of templates, search, sort, and a Create Template button on the right.
- Tabs / source filter - Toggle between Glossi (curated public templates by the Glossi team) and Your Templates (templates you've created from your own projects).
- Template grid - Each card shows a hero render produced with the template, the template's name, and an avatar/badge indicating whether it's a Glossi template or one of yours. Hover any card to flip through a filmstrip of additional example renders.
- Featured chip - Glossi-curated templates may carry a featured badge that surfaces them at the top of the library.
Filtering and finding
- Glossi vs Your Templates - The source tab determines which templates are shown.
- Search - Filter by template name.
- Sort - Order by recency, name, or other template fields.
- Favorite - Star templates to keep them surfaced in your favorites and on the homepage.
Opening a template
Click any template card to open the Template Details modal. Inside you can:
- Preview the template's example renders in a full-bleed canvas.
- Apply - Create a new project (or batch project) using this template's settings. From the modal:
- Create Project - Pick a single model to apply the template to.
- Create Batch Project - Pick multiple models; Glossi creates a separate project per model, all sharing the same template.
- Sync - If you own the template and you've changed the settings in its source project since the template was created, the modal will show a one-line nudge offering to sync the latest project settings into the template.
- Share - Copy a share link from the modal header to send the template's preview to teammates or clients.
- Manage - Rename, edit metadata, or delete (your own templates only).
Creating a template
Templates are always created from an existing project - you can't build one from scratch. Click Create Template, give it a name, pick the source project whose settings you want to capture, and Glossi snapshots the project's current studio configuration into a reusable template.
For a step-by-step guide and best practices, see Creating and Using Templates.
Tips
- Browse the Glossi tab first - The curated templates cover common product photography setups; you can copy one as a starting point rather than building from scratch.
- Build category-specific templates - Different product categories benefit from different lighting and angles. A "Dining furniture" template won't make jewelry look right.
- Sync regularly - When you make studio improvements in a source project, syncing the template forward keeps every downstream project consistent the next time the template is applied.
