Beginner's Guide to Creating Pottery Mockups with AI

Welcome to the world of AI-powered pottery design! Whether you're a seasoned ceramicist or just starting your journey with clay, visualising your designs before creating them can save you time, materials, and frustration.

What is a Pottery Mockup?

A pottery mockup is a digital representation of your pottery design that allows you to preview what your final piece will look like before you even touch clay. With Clayd's AI technology, you can transform any photo into a realistic pottery design in seconds.

Getting Started

Step 1: Choose Your Design

Start with a clear, well-lit photo of your design concept. This could be:

- A sketch or drawing

- An existing object you want to recreate in pottery

- A photograph that inspires you

- Reference images of pottery styles you admire

Step 2: Upload to Clayd

Simply drag and drop your image into Clayd's upload interface. Our AI will analyse your image and prepare it for pottery mockup generation.

Step 3: Generate Your Mockup

Click generate and watch as our AI transforms your photo into a realistic pottery design. The process typically takes just 10-15 seconds!

Step 4: Review and Refine

Not quite right? Use the regeneration feature to request changes. You can adjust:

- Size and proportions

- Surface textures

- Design details

- Overall style

Step 5: Generate Multi-Angle Views

Get a complete understanding of your design by generating left, right, and back views. This helps you visualise the entire piece before creating it.
