Kive puts a garment from a flat lay or mannequin photo on a model. The clothes stay accurate to your photo while the person, pose and set are generated.
From flat lay or mannequin to a model, without a shoot
A garment on a person shows fit, length and drape in a way a flat lay cannot. Booking a model, a studio and a stylist for every drop is what keeps most catalogs on flat lays.
Kive generates the on-model shot from your product photo. Save a character model once and reuse the same person across the catalog, so a collection page reads as one shoot.
How it works
1Upload the garment: a flat lay, a hanger shot or a photo on a mannequin. Kive saves it as a product.
2Pick a character model, one you trained from a few photos of the same person, and describe the pose and setting.
3Check the print, seams and length against the real garment, then generate the next look with the same model.
On-model ideas to put your clothes into
Model try-on photos show clothing, jewelry and accessories worn by a person, front and center. These ideas cover studio and location looks, different poses and framings, so you can show fit and drape without booking a model shoot.
The garment goes onto a person with an outfit around it, so shoppers see the length, the fit and how it hangs.

Prints and panels stay put
The print, the shoulder panels and the neckline carry over from the product photo instead of being redrawn from a description.

Common questions
Yes. Upload the mannequin or flat-lay photo, pick a model, and Kive generates the garment worn by that person. The garment is anchored to your photo, so its color, print and details carry over; the person, pose and background are generated.
Yes. Save a character model in Kive and select it in every generation. The face and build stay consistent, so a whole catalog looks like one shoot.
Train one from a few clear photos of the same person. After training, select it when you generate and the same person appears in every shot.
The garment is anchored to your product photo rather than redrawn from text, so color, print and hardware usually carry over. Check length, fit and small details such as zips and labels at full size before you publish, and regenerate if anything drifted.
A clean flat lay, hanger or mannequin shot on a plain background, with the whole garment in frame. Smooth the piece before you photograph it, since creases can carry into the result.
