How to use Still Life Drawing Studio

  1. Pick one of 20 setups, or add up to five objects from the form library.
  2. Choose Arrange objects to move a form on the tabletop, or Turn view to orbit the camera. The position fields also work with a keyboard.
  3. Try two lighting directions. Compare the silhouette, negative space, and cast shadow.
  4. Download the current or clean PNG, or print a US Letter or A4 study sheet. A device save or downloaded project keeps your editable arrangement.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need drawing software?

No. Draw on paper while using this browser reference. The controls are limited to arranging objects, changing the light and camera, and preparing a useful reference.

Can I move the objects?

Yes. In Arrange objects mode, select an object and drag it on the tabletop. The position fields, size slider and turn slider provide precise alternatives. In Turn view mode, dragging changes only the camera. Two fingers pinch to zoom.

Is this a photo generator?

No. The scene contains real three-dimensional meshes rendered locally in your browser. It does not generate a photograph or use a runtime AI service.

Why do the shadows change?

Each mesh casts a real shadow from the key light. Raising or moving the light changes the shadow’s length and direction. A broader light softens edges farther from contact. Reflected floor fill is a simplified diffuse approximation, not a physical light measurement.

Can I print a reference for class?

Yes. Choose US Letter or A4 and Reference Only or Reference + Blank Drawing Space. Print / Save PDF and Ctrl+P use the current arrangement. Selection rings and drag handles never appear in the output.

What if 3D graphics are unavailable?

The tool clearly switches to Static Reference Study. You can open, print and download the 20 previously rendered setups, but cannot edit their objects, lighting or camera.

Does my scene upload anywhere?

No. The setup stays in this tab unless you explicitly keep it on this device or download a project. Cross-tool image transfers use temporary local storage for up to 12 hours, until used or cleared.
