AI Rendering — Compositing a Background Photo with Your Drawing

This feature layers your changho drawing over a photo of the site and has AI composite the two into a realistic installed view. It follows the flow background image + lattice drawing = AI rendering, and the whole process happens in the right sidebar of the Se-sal studio.

Studio Layout

The Se-sal studio has three panels. AI rendering takes place in the right sidebar.

AI rendering layout — the canvas with the drawing composited over a background photo, and the right panel for background upload, material and lighting choices, and rendering
Left sidebar — lattice parameters. Changes appear on the canvas instantly.
Canvas — your drawing overlaid live on the background photo.
Background photo panel — upload photos, pick a thumbnail, enter the AI prompt, run the render.
Render history — keeps up to 9 recent results. Click one to view it again.

Step-by-Step

① Upload a background photo

  1. If the right sidebar is closed, click the tab at the right edge of the canvas to open it.
  2. Click the ↑ Add photo button and choose an image file.
    You can upload several at once.
  3. Uploaded photos appear in the thumbnail list below. Clicking a thumbnail applies it as the canvas background immediately. The selected thumbnail is outlined in green.
Once a background photo is selected, the drawing (the lattice) is displayed over it on the canvas. That combined view is the composite image sent to the AI.

② Adjust the drawing parameters

Adjust the changho's dimensions and lattice settings in the left sidebar. Because the drawing is composited over the background photo live, you can judge the proportions and pattern against the real space on the spot.

  • Width / height — match the actual installation space
  • Horizontal slat layout (top/middle/bottom) — set each zone's cell ratio independently
  • Frame and slat colors — set in the finish section of the right sidebar

③ Write the AI rendering prompt

Type the mood you want as a single line in the text field at the bottom of the right sidebar. The AI uses this text as a reference for the texture, lighting and atmosphere of the composite.

Good prompt examplesExpected effect
Aged oak grain, lacquer finish, white hanji paperEmphasizes wood texture and a hanji backdrop
Hanok café interior, warm daylightA bright, warm sense of space
Night, soft indirect lighting, atmospheric restaurantAn evening mood
Traditional temple, serene natural surroundings, natural lightA still, quiet traditional feel
Modern minimal, white tones, large windows, city viewA clean, contemporary atmosphere
Including all three elements — space type + material/texture + lighting condition — gives more accurate results.
For example: "hanok café" (space) + "oak grain" (material) + "daytime natural light" (lighting)

④ Run the render

  1. Click the ✨ Rendering button.
  2. An "AI rendering…" loading overlay appears on the canvas. Processing usually takes 30–90 seconds.
  3. When it finishes, the result popup opens automatically. Save the PNG with Download, or close the popup.
  4. Results are saved to your render history automatically. Click a thumbnail to view it again anytime.
Make sure a background photo is selected before running a render. Without one, a notice appears and rendering does not start.

Render History

Up to 9 recent results are kept automatically in the render history at the bottom of the right sidebar. Click a thumbnail to review or download it from the result popup. You can also remove an entry with its button.

Renders are stored on the server, so they appear the same on any device or browser as long as you're signed in to the same account.

Note that each account can keep at most 300 renders. Beyond that limit, new renders are refused with a notice — so clear out old ones with the button in the right sidebar's history, or back up the ones you need with Download.

Managing Background Photos

ActionHow
Add a background photoThe ↑ Add photo button in the right sidebar, or drag & drop
Switch background photoClick a thumbnail — the canvas background changes to that photo immediately
Remove a background photoClick the button beside the thumbnail
View the drawing without a backgroundClick the active thumbnail again to deactivate it
Background photos are stored on the server, so reopening the same drawing restores the photos you uploaded earlier along with it.
