Overview
AI Lifestyle Scenes allows your customers to place your products in virtual scenes and generate realistic renders. This tool is activated via rules in the back-office, giving you full control over which products and settings are available.
This tool is compatible with all Zakeke solutions: Visual Product Customizer, 3D Product Configurator, and 3D/AR Viewer.
How it works
You can activate it from:
AI Creative Tools > AI Lifestyle Scenes
You may need to create one or more rules to control when and how the tool is available. For example, you can choose to apply it only to specific products, or create different rules for different products or categories, each with its own settings.
Once a rule is active, customers will see a dedicated button in the product page UI, where they can generate renders of your products in various virtual scenes. See below.
Configurable Back-Office Settings
When setting up a rule, you can customize the following options:
Backgrounds: Choose which background presets are available and whether customers can upload their own images. The background acts as the scene in which the product will be placed. The tool will try to maintain the scene as much as possible, but depending on the product, some adjustments may occur. If customers can upload their own backgrounds, the final result will heavily depend on the content of the uploaded scene, as the tool will adapt the product placement based on what is in the image.
Surface: Select materials that will be used to create a plane or surface for the product to sit on within the scene.
Styles: Offer your customers premade styles that set the mood, lighting, and overall atmosphere of the image.
-
Design Effects: Apply a default effect to any custom design added by the customer in the product customizer, similar to AI Try-On.
Example: If you sell mugs and set “Embossed” as the design effect, the customer’s design will appear with the embossed effect in the final render.
For backgrounds, surfaces, and styles, you can also upload your own images. For backgrounds, you will be asked to create a category.
Automatic Generation Behavior
If a maximum of one option is enabled for each category (models, backgrounds, and poses), the customer will not see any selection step in the configurator. In this case, the output will be automatically generated using the preconfigured options set in the back office.
Usage Contols
Usage Controls allows you configure settings to regulate how users access and interact with the tool, helping you prevent abuse and misuse.
You can choose whether the tool is visible only to logged-in users or to both logged-in users and guest visitors. You can also limit the number of requests available to each user, either per session or within a specific time period (e.g., allow a maximum of 10 requests in 15 minutes), allowing you to ensure fair usage and control costs.
They apply globally to the tool, not per rule, and appear on the tool main page once at least one rule is active.
Pricing
This tool uses a credit-based system managed through the AI Creative Tools Addon (Your Account > Addons > AI Creative Tools). Credits are consumed every time an output is generated or edited.
Credit consumption:
| Tool | Output | Credits | Notes |
| AI Image Generator & Editor | Generated image | 1 credit | |
| Generated graphic/logo | 1,2 credits | This option consumes more credits because it uses a dedicated AI agent optimized for logos and graphics. | |
| Edited image | 1 credit | ||
| AI Try-on | Generated image | 1,2 credits | |
| AI Lifestyle Scenes | Generated image | 1,2 credits | |
| AI Design Generator | Generated design (personalization) | Variable | Credit cost depends on the user’s interaction with the AI and the complexity/duration of the session. On average, a complete design consumes between 2 and 5 credits. |
⚠️ All generated outputs consume credits, even if the customer selects only one of them or aborts the generation process.
For example, if you configure the AI Image Generator & Editor to produce 4 outputs per prompt, generating those 4 images will consume 4 credits, even if the user ultimately selects only one. Similarly, if a user launches a product staging generation and aborts it before seeing the result, 1 credit is still consumed.
When you activate the tool, an initial 20-credit pack is provided for free. Auto-refill is enabled by default: when your credits run out, the first paid pack available is automatically purchased, ensuring uninterrupted service.
Credit Packs
| Credits | Price (€/USD/GBP) |
|---|---|
| 500 | 50 |
| 1000 | 90 |
| 2500 | 210 |
| 5000 | 400 |
You can purchase larger credit packs or disable auto-refill at:
Your Account > Addons > AI Creative Tools
⚠️ Note for Shopify users:
If your store runs on Shopify:
When activating the tool, the initial credit pack is provided for free, so no approval of charges is required. For any subsequent paid credit packs, you will be redirected to Approve Charge page in Shopify to confirm the purchase. Failing to confirm the approval will prevent the paid pack from being purchased, and the tool won't be available in your Customizer.
Auto-refill is not supported. When your available credits reach 20%, you will receive an email notification. You can manually purchase additional credit packs from: Your Account > Addons > AI Image Generator & Editor
