1. 3D Camera Workflow
What it does:
Start by placing a car model into any real-world location from our archive. You can either:
Use a trained LoRA of your own car model, or
Use a demo car as a placeholder.
A virtual 3D camera lets you set the exact angle, focal length, and position you want.
Maground AI will automatically adjust the real-world background to fit your selected perspective.
From here you can:
Continue with AI-generated visuals, or
Remove the car and integrate your own CGI vehicle, supported by a matching 360° HDR dome.
Who it’s for:
For precise vehicle positioning and most flexibility to work with full AI image, but keep the option to use also for CGI Hybrid-Workflow
2. Inspirational Flow
What it does:
Choose from popular camera angles and perspectives (front ¾, rear ¾, side view, etc.).
The AI generates ready-to-use images automatically in seconds.
Limitations:
This workflow does not include camera information – it’s designed for fast moodboards and creative concepting, not CGI Integration.
Who it’s for:
If you need a starting point that simply looks good to evaluate your ideas.
3. Place the Car
What it does:
Upload a PNG file of your car (cutout with transparency).
Place it directly into:
A Maground archive background, or
Your own uploaded background image.
The AI automatically adjusts shadows, reflections, and perspective for a photorealistic result.
Who it’s for:
Ideal for dealerships, marketing teams, and quick campaigns where speed is key. When existing images need to quickly be integrated into a background without 3D assets or CGI workflows.
4. AI Retouch
What it does:
Modify or enhance any backplate or generated image using our AI retouch tools:
Nano Banana – advanced object removal & fine retouching.
Flux Context – larger-scale edits and contextual changes (e.g., sky replacement, background adjustments).
Can be applied:
As a first step before car placement, or
After generation to refine your visuals.
Who it’s for: Anyone needing final polish or creative flexibility in their visuals, without of use of photoshop or external tools.
5. HDR Generation
What it does:
Generate a 360° HDR dome from any backplate.
Can be created:
Directly from the initial image, or
Once your final result is ready.
Also works for your own uploaded images.
Why it matters:
HDR domes ensure consistent light, reflections, and realism when integrating CGI cars into your scene.
Who it’s for:
Essential for CGI artists and hybrid workflows combining AI with 3D rendering.
6. Animate & Upscale Options
Animate: Turn still images into motion assets using advanced AI animation models such as Hailuo Minimax, Seedance PRO, Google Veo 3, and Kling AI 2.1. This allows you to bring concept visuals to life for pitches, social media, or motion previews.
Upscale: Increase resolution up to 16× with professional tools like Topaz Labs and Magnific, ensuring your inspiration visuals hold up even in high-resolution presentations and print.
