GenAI for eCommerce : Solaya versus ChatGPT

10 avr. 2025

We put GenAI to the test against SOLAYA to see how well it really performs when accuracy and detail matter most in e-commerce.


Have you tried using 3D GenAI tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney for e-commerce visuals?
They're creative, fast, and undeniably impressive.
But when it comes to 3D commerce, immersive content, and real product visuals? They miss the mark.
We ran a simple test: we asked ChatGPT’s image tool to generate an e-commerce-ready render of a real sneaker.
At first glance, the result looked promising.
But side by side with a SOLAYA-rendered version, the limitations became crystal clear.


ChatGPT-generated image:

  • The shape is subtly warped—especially around the heel and sole.
  • Mesh textures are flattened, and stitching is inconsistent.
  • Colors are washed out, and the logo (“GT-2160”) is either incorrect or hallucinated.

SOLAYA-generated visual:

  • True-to-life proportions with clean contours.
  • Sharp, high-fidelity textures—down to the mesh and overlays.
  • Colors match the real product, and the label (“GEL-1150”) is spot on.
  • Ready for post-processing, scaling, and omnichannel use.


These aren’t just cosmetic differences. In 3D commerce, customers expect to zoom in, rotate, and scrutinize every detail. And when your visuals don’t match the actual product? That’s a trust breaker and guaranteed returns. Then there’s 3D maintenance—keeping your visual pipeline consistent across collections, colorways, and updates. With GenAI? Nearly impossible. With SOLAYA? Built-in. That’s why we’ve designed our tech to preserve product accuracy, consistency, and reusability, without sacrificing visual quality. Perfect for immersive content, AR/VR, and e-commerce platforms that care about getting it exactly right.
