What is the Intensity of Blending?

Learn to adjust mockup blending intensity for quality or speed in our guide. Ideal for realistic previews without changing your design.

"Set the intensity of blending function" is a pretty fancy function to rendering your design mockups. But there are a couple of points we would like to let you know. Please read the following paragraphs carefully before using that function.

First, the intensity of the blending numbers can be adjusted to modify the quality of mockup images. The lower intensity of blending value will reduce the time cost of generating mockup, and a higher value of the intensity of blending will improve the mockup quality. The default intensity of the blending number was set to 0 in order to speed up the design time. Once your design is finalized, you can adjust the intensity of blending to get a great quality mockup and present it to your customers. Following are some examples:

Second, this function does not change anything on your design or the actual product. It only assists with your design process and makes your design mockup looks more realistic and the template more textured.

The patterns with different brightness will require different intensity values to be chosen to achieve the best realism. Usually, the best intensity value for light-colored patterns is 2 or 3, and any higher value will make the mockup looks dark. For example, the following product is blank (white), but level 4 will make the mockup looks grey. It's recommended to use intensity <3 for light color design.

Third, this function will not change the color of your design, it just uses some superposition technology to change the color of the product model, and will not affect the actual production effect of the finished product. Excessive levels will cause the difference between actual products and mockups.

In the end, we'd like to present some example pictures for the same product with different value intensity of blending:
