MiniMax H3 Image has just been released, and I am more concerned about whether it can be integrated into a real image production process. Let’s try one of the most common requirements: a new bag needs to be put on the shelves, and it needs main pictures, scene pictures, model pictures, and finally a short video of ten seconds.
The first step is to provide enough materials at one time.H3 Image can eat up to 16 reference images. The front, side and detailed close-ups of the product, the model's face and body reference, and the scene's lighting reference can be included separately. The more reference pictures there are, the more clearly you need to write down what each picture is about in the prompts, for example, "Pictures 1 to 3 are products, only the shape and material are referenced."
The second step is to make it thicker first and then finer.H3 Image has a Highspeed version, which is about 3 to 4 times faster than mainstream tools. It is suitable for running a batch of composition drafts first; after the direction is determined, switch to the standard mode to produce a 4096×4096 4K finished product, which takes about 10 seconds for a single image.
The third step is to make partial changes, do not start over again.The model supports image editing. If you are not satisfied with the background, just change the background. If the color of the bag strap is wrong, just change the strap. Comprehensive command understanding is the upgrade point that the official emphasizes this time. Two or three modification requirements are mentioned in one sentence at the same time. It is worth trying whether it can take care of them all.
These three steps can be done directly on PixPix. PixPix is the official cooperation site of MiniMax. It has been connected to H3 Image's 4K rendering. It focuses on e-commerce product images and materials, and there is no need to touch code in the interface.
The fourth step is to make the picture move.The finalized pictures are thrown into PixTV, which is also the official MiniMax cooperation site and is also connected to H3 Image. It is also a video creation platform. Use the newly released 4K picture as the first frame or reference to generate a short product display video. The product appearance of the picture and video can match, so there is no need to find a separate set of materials.
A few easy pitfalls:
- If the light difference between the reference pictures is too large, the model may not blend well. It is best for the same set of reference pictures to have the same light direction.
- The 4K image file is not small. It will be compressed later before uploading to the e-commerce platform. Be careful not to suppress the details.
- It is best to check the logo and small words on the product separately after the picture is completed.
If you are used to writing code, you can also use the MiniMax open platform API, or go to Hugging Face to get the open weight and deploy it yourself. I just want to make a set of pictures and videos as quickly as possible. Just a few clicks on the web page are enough. The site also contains entries for PixPix and PixTV, you can take a look at the introduction first.
