Start with Virtual Lighting, shape it with Group, and close with Chrome in one adjustable dimensional-imaging recipe.
Review the available effect capabilities before you begin.
The renderer first applies Virtual Lighting, then introduces Group, and finally uses Chrome Material. Each stage has a distinct role in the dimensional-imaging recipe, while the intensity control blends the completed recipe against the source.
Upload a photo, adjust the Virtual Lighting · Group · Chrome Material intensity, compare its processed preview with the source, and download the finished result.
Use the intensity control to balance the Virtual Lighting · Group · Chrome Material treatment with the detail and character of your original photo.

The exact Virtual Lighting, Group, and Chrome Material recipe works best for product and food hero images, pet photographs with a clean silhouette, and portraits with clear subject separation.
Less suited to: Virtual Lighting, Group, and Chrome Material needs extra care with flat low-contrast scenes, overlapping transparent objects, cropped subjects, or images with too little information to infer stable depth.
Keep one automatically detected main subject sharp with clean depth-aware background blur
Turn elevated streets and landscapes into miniature scenes with a clean depth-assisted focus band
Create a clean eight-frame depth loop with visibility-resolved parallax motion
Create a comfort-capped red-cyan 3D view with depth-scaled bilinear reprojection
Refract only the model-cleared background through bounded crystal facets while keeping the detected subject fixed
Build five broad source-aligned paper planes without duplicating people or objects
Trace 18 clean source-aligned depth bands without moving people or objects
Style the frame as up to seven source-aligned paper layers without duplicating people or objects
Add source-aligned linear-light haze from model-estimated relative depth
Apply source-aligned cool-far and warm-near color grading from model-estimated depth
Compress and invert the scene inside one bounded glass sphere while keeping every outside pixel fixed
Interlace depth-shifted strips only across model-cleared background while keeping the detected subject fixed
