Pipeline Nodes
After a trigger, you build your pipeline by adding processing nodes in sequence. Each node performs one step and passes its output to the next. The pipeline editor only shows valid next nodes, so you always build a working chain.
Node Types
Ingest (Upload Models)
Automatically added after a connector trigger. Downloads files from the connected storage, uploads them to Glossi, and creates 3D models.
Configuration: None — this node is automatic.
Supported file types: GLB, GLTF, USDZ, USD, FBX, OBJ, STEP, STP, STL
Follows: Connector trigger (Watch Folder) Next: Create Project
Create Project
Creates a Glossi project for each model using a template. The template defines the scene — lighting, backdrops, camera angles, and environment.
Configuration:
Template (required) — Select from your workspace templates. The template's camera bookmarks and shots determine what gets rendered.
Follows: Ingest, Model Ready Next: Render
Render
Renders images and videos from projects using the template's camera positions and shot list.
Configuration:
Images (toggle) — Render all camera bookmarks as still images.
Quality: 720p, 1080p, or 4K
Videos (toggle) — Render all video shots and turntables.
Resolution: 720p, 1080p, or 4K
Quality: Fast (MP4) or Best (ProRes)
Render variants (toggle) — If the model has variants (colors, materials), render each one.
Follows: Create Project, Model Ready, Project Created Next: Style, AI Edit, or Export
Style (Apply Brand Styles)
Generates styled image variants using your workspace's Brand Styles. Each selected style creates one variant per rendered image.
For example: 3 camera bookmarks x 2 styles = 6 styled variants (plus the 3 original renders).
Configuration:
Styles (required) — Select one or more Brand Styles from the grid.
Prompt (optional) — Guide the style application with a text description.
Group by style — Controls how styled variants are organized in the export folder:
Off (default): Styled variants sit alongside base renders with the style name appended (e.g.,
Front View_Warm Studio.png).On: Styled variants are organized into style-named subfolders (e.g.,
Warm Studio/Front View.png).
Follows: Render, Render Complete Next: AI Edit or Export
AI Edit (AI Variant)
Creates AI-edited image variants using text prompts. Each prompt generates a separate variant for every rendered image.
Configuration:
Prompts — Add one or more text prompts. Each prompt creates a distinct variant.
Example: "Place the product on a marble countertop with soft morning light"
Example: "Add a gradient background transitioning from blue to purple"
Follows: Render, Style, Render Complete Next: Export (terminal — no further nodes)
Export
Uploads completed renders (and any styled or AI-edited variants) to a connected storage folder.
Configuration:
Account — Sign in with OAuth, or use the same account as the trigger connector if it's the same provider.
Folder — Browse and select the destination folder.
When the trigger and export use the same connector type (e.g., both Google Drive), you can click "Use [account]" to share credentials without signing in again. You can also sign in with a different account.
Follows: Render, Style, AI Edit Next: None — Export is always the last node.
