Great product, but I have a question. How is this different from Canva and Figma? If it has any distinctive features, I would love to try it.
Nik Redl
Hi @qudsia_ali, we are a 3D tool where you can create real photos in a browser. In Canva and Figma you are working in a 2D environment, in Colorful in a 3D environment (just like a video game) We are in public beta as of today. So you can sign up and test it for free. Excited to see what you can come up with :)

Excited to unveil our investment in Colorful and hunt it here on ProductHunt! :-) Colorful is a browser-based 3D tool for creating stunning product photos. But actually, โ€œ3D toolโ€ makes it sound more complicated than it is. I like to think of Colorful as a virtual photo studio. Instead of spending a huge amount of time and money on professional photographers, you just choose and customize a scene (or create your own one), upload a 3D model of your product, and play around with the (virtual) light and the (virtual) camera until youโ€™ve got your perfect shot. No 3D modeling skills required โ€“ give it a try. :)

Thanks, @chrija for hunting us today :) ๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey Product Hunt, weโ€™re excited to finally show you what weโ€™ve been working on @Colorful! I'm Nik, and I am one of the founders of Colorful. At Colorful we think photography should be virtual. Working on a photo-set as you do in a Google Doc file changes how you will think about photography. ๐Ÿ”ง edit photo shootings anytime, anywhere. ๐Ÿ”— share photo shootings via a simple link ๐Ÿš€ scale up content production quickly But virtual photography / 3D rendering is not accessible to everyone ๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ most 3D software is hard to learn ๐Ÿ”Œ powerful desktop computers are needed for photorealistic renderings ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ handoff & communication with the team and clients are a mess So we decided to offload all the heavy lifting into the cloud โ˜๏ธ Making 3D renderings truly accessible for the first time on any computer. To get you started quickly in 3D we built a library of ready-made photo templates and added photo props to drag into the scenes. We are very excited to see what you are able to create in Colorful. Share it with us on Twitter! I'll be around all day โ€” can't wait to hear your questions, feedback, and ideas! ๐Ÿฃ PS: This is a Beta Release = you might find some bugs!

Congrats on the launch, ?makers! What are some use cases you have in mind or have already seen people use Colorful for?
Nik Redl
@cristinaibunea we have seen people using it a lot for product photography (e.g. their eCommerce stores, websites & social channels). We are excited to see what use cases the community will be coming up with.

We've been producing our content for Wakeout on a green screen, then using 3D software to render the rooms behind the models (see our website: https://wakeout.app/). The render quality of Colorful is insane! Just designed a test room on Colorful and the quality is very impressive. The limited number of objects is a factor that might keep us from switching for now, but I'm sure that will change fast. Congrats and thank you!
Mirko Vodegel
@pddro Good input, what did you try to build? Can you share the scene? :) Thinking about offering to upgrade for even more powerful servers that can shoulder more assets in the scene.
Pedro Wunderlich
Happy to share the stuff weโ€™ve done so you can better gauge our use case. Can you email me? pedro@wakeout.co Also, here's a link to the first scene I designed in colorful. It's failing to render. Is it too complex? https://studio.colorful.app/scen...

Super excited to see what you all are able to create with it, share some renders on Twitter https://twitter.com/colorful_app_ ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

The photos really look nice and realistic! Congrats ; ) Btw, weโ€™re launching in late May. Check out our upcoming PH page: www.producthunt.com/upcoming/eff... Our project is called: Effecto. Itโ€™s an app for detailed habits, health, symptoms, and meds tracking. Pretty much for everything that is related to your physical or mental health and every daily factor that can affect you.

@alan_dimmer @stefani_kovachevska this is awesome!! I wonder if we could incorporate it somehow in our visuals and new branding. Congrats on the launch @chrija !
Stefani Kovachevska
@alan_dimmer @chrija @taliambender This seems super cool Talia, thanks for sharing! Alan, you should check this out asap.
Mirko Vodegel
Hey Product Hunt, we built this for you! Super hyped to see what cool shots we will make together - just write me in chat if you have questions or need help or join us on discord (http://discord.gg/qWg3fU4dnp)
Impressive tool that looks very similar to Adobe Dimension but works entirely in the browser. Well done the team for achieving such a feat. ๐Ÿ‘ I haven't managed to save a camera position in order to generate multiple renders at once but I guess more features will come with time.
Nik Redl
hi @augustin_hiebel, this might be already in the works ๐Ÿคซ It's gonna be ๐Ÿ”ฅ.
Harvind Ganase
This is incredible! At first (and second) glance, I thought the renders were actual images. Congratulations on the launch! ๐Ÿš€
Gianca Vanoni
wow folks! really cool product!! congratulations on the launch and cheering for you and colorful! - already in the beta ๐Ÿ™Œ
Kevin Martin
The video doesn't do it justice (though the video is rad)... you really have to try this for yourself. FREAKY FAST. I can't believe I stayed up late to make sure solidworks renders made it thru a 8 hour session... LOL
Mai TRAN
Will we have the ability to quickly edit existing objects in the near future? (eg. edit product name/ add logo on 'Simple box' object)

Great helper for landing pages. Congrats team, good luck on the launch!
Enzo Avigo (๐Ÿ“Š june.so)
amazing team and product, go Colorful!
Diana Akhmetova
Definitely upvoted! Already showed my friends marketers, very useful service! Good luck guys! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

awesome @diana_sfera
Dominik Sobe
Amazing tool! Congrats ๐Ÿฅณ Looks like the future of professional photos!
Dan Makarov
The amount of tech that must've gone into this is impressive!
Esus ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ
Congrats on the launch! Excited to try it. Little UX thing I noticed - When I click 'Get Beta', it takes me to a login screen w/a small register button. It's intuitive to just throw my email and password into the boxes right away, rather than clicking register. In terms of user signup on launch day, it would flow smoother for me if 'get beta access' took me to the register screen rather than login screen. Super pumped to try this out! ๐ŸŽ‰
Mirko Vodegel
@jamesskon yes good point actually, we will improve it!
Gwan Yip
Wow... very impressive! Your web based rendering (ray tracing?) performance is amazing. Congrats
Mirko Vodegel
@g_wan Thanks! The web studio uses three.js, basically a game engine, and the high quality photos are ray traced images from really powerful servers!
Mirko Vodegel
@g_wan As some more people asked, I wrote a short thread about the rendering part: https://twitter.com/MirkoVodegel...
