Build a seasonal colorway set - Vizcom Docs

You’ll end with a board of labeled colorways, all built from one base render and your season’s palette.

A grid of eight colorways of the same running shoe in side view: yellow and mint; grey and blue with a red midsole and lime outsole; tan leather with a rust midsole; teal and lime with a navy midsole; taupe with a cobalt midsole; sage and tan with a cream sole; olive with an orange midsole; and blush pink and crimson with an aqua outsole. — Eight colorways of one running shoe, all from the same side view.

You need: one clean side-view render on a plain background, and the season’s palette as an .ase or .aco file or hex codes.

Steps

Click Library in the toolbar, open Workspace (Enterprise) or My Library, and choose Create folder (Library).
Open the folder, click + (Add asset) and drop the .ase or .aco file on the Upload tab.

The Workbench with the Library button in the toolbar marked 1 and the Library panel marked 2. The panel has a Find an asset... search box, All Libraries, and tiles for Workspace, Team, My Library, This File and Vizcom. The Team tile is grayed out. — Library in the toolbar (1) opens a panel with every library you can use (2).

Drag from the render’s + handle and choose Variate (Color Variation).
On the Color tab, click Access color palette, pick the season’s palette, set a count and click Generate.

A yellow backpack connected to a Variation block with a green, cream and tan palette named Botanical Balance and the count set to 8, next to eight generated backpacks in olive, cream and tan colorways — One Variation block on the Color tab with an eight-colorway run.

Select the base render, press Q and @-mention the season’s folder to make one colorway per swatch (Mentions).
Click Create Region Map on a colorway to recolor it part by part (Region Maps).
In All Regions, click Apply Palette or drag a Library color onto one region, then click Generate or Flatten.

A grey running vest split into regions: the image toolbar shows the Create Region Map tooltip, the Regions panel lists Region 1 to Region 7 and Background with a color swatch each, the region editing buttons Edit Region, Divide Region, Clear Region and Split Islands are visible, and the vest recolored in navy, yellow and a bright marbled pattern appears on a runner in the desert. — Region Maps splits the product into parts you recolor one by one.

Select the colorways, click Arrange, press Shift + S for a section and T to label each one (Canvas elements).
Right-click the section and choose Download assets or Export… (Export).

Good to know

Settle the form first: colorways on an unsettled form multiply rework.
Color Variation makes 1 colorway per click on Free, up to 4 on Pro and Edu, and up to 16 on Organization and Enterprise.
Folder runs use 1K or 2K and ask you to confirm above 10 images. Each colorway uses credits.
