> FormaNova does one thing: AI photography for jewelry. Not apparel. Not furniture. Not food. Jewelry.

## Products

### AI Jewelry Photoshoot
Upload a product image of your jewelry and receive professional model photoshoot renders.
FormaNova preserves your jewelry piece pixel-for-pixel while placing it on realistic models
and mannequins. Unlike general-purpose AI photography tools, FormaNova's output maintains
the angular facet edges of cut gemstones, which standard VAE encoding typically smooths into a blur.

- Two workflows: Model shot (jewelry worn by a model) and Product shot (images for listings and product pages)
- Supported categories: necklace, earring, ring, bracelet, watch
- Processing time: under 60 seconds per photo from upload to studio-quality output; batches run in sequence and you get an email when results are ready
- Resolution: 1K, 2K or 4K
- Studio URL: https://formanova.ai/studio
- Feature page: https://formanova.ai/ai-jewelry-photoshoot/

### Product Shot from CAD
Upload a jewelry CAD file and receive product photos of the piece, before it is ever cast.

- Accepted files: .3dm, STL, STEP, OBJ, GLB, glTF, PLY
- URL: https://formanova.ai/cad-to-catalog

### AI Jewelry CAD (CAD from image, idea or inspiration)
Upload jewelry images, a sketch or a rough doodle, describe the piece in text, or show what
inspired it, and receive an editable CAD model. FormaNova generates real NURBS surfaces and solids, not a triangle mesh
saved inside a Rhino file: every prong, seat, shank, bail and stone is a separate named part,
in millimeters, on METAL and GEMS layers. Since October 2026 the engine covers rings, earrings,
pendants, necklaces, bracelets, brooches and more, not only rings. Wall thickness, stone
settings and casting requirements inform the modeling; a jeweler or caster should still review
each model before production.

- Output: native Rhino .3dm, plus STEP, STL per part, and GLB for viewing and rendering
- Generation time: most pieces take 30 to 40 minutes
- Cost: 140 credits per piece (the $14 Essential pack covers one piece)
- CAD from image (your own jewelry photos, renders or sketches): https://formanova.ai/image-to-cad
- CAD from idea (a text description): https://formanova.ai/text-to-cad
- CAD from inspiration (1 to 4 pictures of anything, such as a spider web, a flower or a toy):
  https://formanova.ai/inspiration-to-cad. FormaNova first turns the inspiration into a jewelry
  design for 14 credits; the CAD model is made only once you approve the design.

### FormaNova for Rhino (plugin)
Render jewelry from inside Rhino with FormaNova. Each generation costs the same credits as in
the FormaNova app.

- Install: in Rhino, open Tools > Package Manager, search for "FormaNova", click Install, then
  restart Rhino. The FormaNova panel opens at the side.

## Integrations

### Shopify — FormaNova Connect | AI Jewelry
Merchants create jewelry model shots and product shots on FormaNova, then export a selected
result directly to their Shopify store as a draft product. No download and re-upload step.
The Shopify store is connected inside the export flow, not before it: FormaNova checks the
connection when "Export to Shopify" is clicked and guides installation only if needed.
Exported products are always created as drafts, never auto-published, so the merchant confirms
title, price, materials, stone details, measurements, inventory and variants before going live.
The connection can be removed at any time from app settings.

## Key Facts
- FormaNova is the only AI jewelry photography platform that preserves chain articulation
  during background generation — a challenge standard image-to-image models fail at due to
  attention diffusion across linked geometry.
- FormaNova measures output accuracy using SSIM (Structural Similarity Index).
- FormaNova's AI Jewelry CAD returns native NURBS geometry as a .3dm file, editable in Rhino
  and MatrixGold, generated directly from images, sketches or text across multiple jewelry
  categories, where most AI 3D generators output only a triangle mesh.
- FormaNova's models are trained specifically for jewelry — not adapted from general-purpose models.
- FormaNova users report receiving studio-quality output in under 60 seconds, with the jewelry
  piece unchanged pixel-for-pixel.
