Quick Render
Quick Render is the fastest way to go from a 3D model to finished product images. Select your models, choose a template, and Glossi handles everything — creating projects, rendering all camera angles, and delivering your images in minutes. No studio session required.
This is ideal when you need product imagery quickly and don't need to fine-tune camera positions or lighting. Quick Render uses the template's preset camera angles and settings to produce consistent, ready-to-use renders.
How Quick Render Works
Quick Render follows a simple three-step flow:
Step 1: Add Models
Select one or more models from your workspace library. You can also upload new models directly from this step — supported formats include GLB, glTF, USDZ, FBX, OBJ, and more.
You can select multiple models to render them all in one batch. Each model will be rendered separately using the same template settings.
Note: Only models that have finished processing are available for selection. If you've just uploaded a model, wait for processing to complete before starting a Quick Render.
Step 2: Choose a Template
Select the template that defines how your renders will look. The template determines:
Lighting — Light rig setup, intensity, and color
Backdrop — Background style and color
Camera angles — Saved bookmark positions for consistent framing
Video shots — Saved video clip definitions (if the template includes them)
Browse templates from the Glossi library or choose from your own custom templates.
Step 3: Render
Glossi automatically creates a project for each selected model, pairs it with the template, and starts rendering. You can watch the progress in real time:
Queued — Render request is in the queue
Rendering — Images and videos are being generated
Complete — Renders are ready to view and download
Once rendering is complete, you can view your finished renders directly on the page. Click on any render to open it in the render detail view where you can download, apply Brand Styles, or make AI edits.
When to Use Quick Render
Quick Render is best suited for:
Fast product photography — Get imagery for new products without setting up a studio session.
Batch rendering — Render multiple models at once with the same template for consistent results.
Template testing — Preview how a template looks with different models before committing to a full studio session.
Simple catalog imagery — When you need standard product photos and don't require custom camera angles.
For more control over camera positions, lighting adjustments, and scene composition, use Glossi Studio instead.

Quick Render vs. Pipelines
Quick Render and Pipelines both automate rendering, but they serve different purposes:
Quick Render is manual and on-demand — you select models and trigger the render yourself.
Pipelines are fully automated — they watch a folder for new files and render them automatically as they appear.
Use Quick Render when you have a batch of models ready to render now. Use Pipelines when you want an ongoing, hands-off workflow where new files are rendered automatically.
