How to use Region Maps
1
Open your product render
Open your product render in Vizcom.
2
Select Region Maps
Look for Region Maps in the toolbar and select it.
3
Automatic segmentation
Region Maps automatically segments your image into individual parts.
4
Edit any part
Select any part and change its color, apply a palette, or add materials.
5
Save as a new base
Save your edited version as a new Workbench base to build on.
Segmentation
Automatically split product images into editable parts, with manual controls to refine when needed.1
Open Region Maps
Open your product render and select Region Maps.
2
Automatic analysis
Region Maps automatically analyzes the image and creates regions based on color, material, and geometric boundaries.
3
Review and refine
Review the segments. If you need adjustments:
- Add a Region — Manually draw boundaries around parts the algorithm missed.
- Edit Region Boundary — Adjust where one region ends and another begins.
- Divide a Region — Split a single region into multiple for finer control.
- Regenerate Segmentation — Start fresh with automatic segmentation.
4
Move to color editing
Once satisfied, move to color editing.
Color Editing
Paint each part independently using the color picker, saved libraries, or coordinated palettes. No re-renders needed.1

3
Apply to all parts
Apply the palette across all regions simultaneously.
4
Apply to specific parts
Select a subset of regions and apply only to those.
5
Drag and drop a palette

Saving & Iteration
Build your design system. Save every variation as a starting point.1
Export your render
After segmenting and editing your product render, select Export.
2
Save as a new Vizcom file
Save your edited version as a new Vizcom file. All segmentation, colors, and materials are preserved.
3
Use as a Workbench base
Use this file as your Workbench base. Open it anytime and create variations without re-segmenting.
4
Create a naming system
Use a pattern like
[ProductName]_[ColorDirection]_v1, [ProductName]_[ColorDirection]_v2, and so on.5
Build a library of bases
Save bases for common products so new projects start faster.
6
Share across your team
Share bases so everyone builds on the same segmentation.
