Mockup Stack
The layered workflow used to produce believable product mockups from concept through cleanup.
Definition
A mockup stack is the combination of prompt direction, scene building, product grounding, retouching, crop control, and export choices required to make a product mockup feel publishable.
In practice
A bottle render starts as an AI concept, then moves through label cleanup, edge correction, background balance, and store-ready crop variants.
Worth knowing
Believability is fragile in product work. A weak stack often fails in the hands, edges, reflections, or scale cues.
