Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Scene Compositor tool:
- Share the product photo and describe the scene you want to place it in — for example, 'marble bathroom shelf, morning light, minimal styling'.
- Ask Claude to run `place_object` via the scene-compositor tool.
- Review the composite and ask Claude whether the lighting and shadow are convincing.
- Request a second scene for comparison — a different setting or a different time of day.
- Save the winning composite for your listing or campaign.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Scene Compositor tool
Use scene-compositor to place this vitamin serum bottle into a minimal bathroom scene — marble shelf, soft natural light from the left, a eucalyptus sprig nearby. Tell me whether the shadow looks natural and suggest one scene variation that would perform better for a premium skincare audience.
Tips
- Describe the light direction in the scene for the most realistic shadow placement.
- Ask Claude to check that the product's scale looks correct relative to the scene elements.
- Try the same product in two very different scenes — indoor and outdoor, minimal and styled — to find which audience it resonates with.
