Create and train a model

Creating a Seelab model takes a few minutes: you choose the type, import your images, mark the most representative ones and start the training. The model is then available to your whole project, in image and in video.

Before you start

Prepare 1 to 8 images of your subject, sharp, varied and at least 1024 px. See Preparing training images.
Check the active project at the top right: the model will be shared with the members of this project.

Create the model in five steps

Open Custom models in the navigation bar, then click Create new model. For your first model, the type choice appears right away.
Choose the type: Train your Avatar (Portraits & Avatars), Train your Product (Products & Objects) or Train your Style (Styles & Photography).

The three types of models

Name the model and import your images in the Training images area, by drag and drop or from your computer.
Mark the 3 key images with the 👍 icon, then add a brief if needed with Import a brief: a PDF document and/or a text.

The completed creation form

Click Start training. The Remaining trainings counter, at the top of the form, shows how many trainings you have left.

During training

The model switches to In training status. Training takes from a few seconds to a few minutes, then Seelab automatically redirects you to your model.

A model in training

A training can be rejected if the images don't comply with the terms of use, or if their quality or consistency isn't sufficient. In that case, review your dataset or contact the Seelab team.

What's next?

Your model is ready in image and in video: a single training creates both.
It appears in the Custom models library, with the Use model and Edit buttons.
The Trainings panel on the model page shows your quotas: Remaining Actives (the number of models you can still train) and Remaining Monthlies (the retrainings left this month).
Every project member finds it in their model selector.

To use it: Using your model in image and video.

Tips

Test your model as soon as training ends on three or four very different scenes: packshot, in context, close-up.
If a detail is missing (label, material), add images that show it and run the training again with Retrain from the model page.
The Seelab team can handle it with you: Contact us in the Custom models space, or the chat.

Glossary

Remaining trainings: the number of trainings you have left.
In training: the status of a model that is being trained.
