### Create a Region Map

1. Select a clean, evenly lit render on a plain background.
2. Click **Create Region Map** in its toolbar.
3. Wait for the Regions image and the **Regions** panel to appear.

### Fix the regions

Open a region and click **Edit Region**, **Divide Region**, **Clear Region** or **Split Islands**. To merge, select several and click **Merge**.

### Change colors and materials

Open a region and click its **Material** swatch to pick a color or texture. In **All Regions**, click **Apply Palette** to color every region at once.

### Finish

Click **Generate** for a photoreal image, or **Flatten** to use the edit in other blocks or Studio. Editing regions in between is free.

![Left: a grey running vest split into regions, with a pattern being dropped onto Region 1. Right: the same vest with a colorful marbled pattern on the selected regions and the rest unchanged.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/I-2hvc0QrsSa4kp4/images/examples/region-maps-vest.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=I-2hvc0QrsSa4kp4\&q=85\&s=5f34b7327b1cbacce5c94fe07009d2b7)

A pattern dropped on one region of a running vest.

A Regions image can't be split again or opened in Studio until you **Flatten** it.

## Get better results

* **Select a little beyond the edge** so the edit blends in.
* **Fix regions before you color them.**
* **No selection?** End the prompt with "Keep the same art style and leave the rest of the image unchanged."
