Photo mode
Hide the UI, frame your build with one-click camera angles, and download clean PNG shots for build threads and sharing.
A clean shot of your build
Photo mode strips the editor down to just the van: the sidebar, toolbar, and overlays disappear, leaving your build against the sky gradient with a small floating bar of camera controls. It's the tool for the screenshot you post to the forum, send to your partner, or drop into your build planning doc.
Enter it with the camera button in the toolbar or by pressing P.
Framing and capturing
The floating bar holds four angle presets, each framing the whole van for the current variant: ¾ Front (the classic hero angle), Side (a straight elevation), ¾ Rear (shows off the garage), and Top (the floor plan). You can also frame freely — orbit, zoom, and pan work exactly as in the editor.
- Press P (or the camera button) to enter photo mode.
- Click an angle preset — or orbit and zoom to your own framing.
- Press Capture. A PNG named after your project downloads immediately, sky background included.
- Reframe and capture as many shots as you like, then press the ✕ button to return to the editor.
- The capture is taken at the canvas's current resolution — maximize the browser window (or capture on a hi-DPI display) for a sharper image.
- Light and dark theme have different skies — toggle the theme in Settings before capturing to pick the mood.
Setting the scene first
Everything you've staged carries into the shot, so dress the set before entering photo mode: pick a scene backdrop (studio, desert, lake, meadow) in Settings, set the van's paint in the Body menu, press O to pose the doors open or closed, and apply the scene state you want to show — "Bed down" photographs differently than "Bed up".
- Hidden walls stay hidden in the capture — with auto-hide on, your camera angle decides which walls are open, so orbit until the interior reads the way you want.
- For a true floor-plan image, use the Top preset with the roof panel hidden in the Body menu.
