Step 4: Explore the Refined Model

Click on the refined model to view it in detail in the 3D viewer. Use the preview settings panel on the right to tweak various settings. Switching to PBR shading allows you to adjust HDRI strength and rotation, while texture settings lets you fine-tune the metallic and roughness of the texture.

Please note that adjusting these parameters won't alter the properties of the model and textures themselves. They are solely meant to provide different preview options.

Step 5: Edit Texture and Mesh

AI Texture Editing

If you're on a premium plan, you can utilize our AI texture editing tools to retexture models or remove unwanted elements.

AI texture editing can help you regenerate parts of the texture, while smart healing can assist in removing spots from the texture.
