How room repaints work on Swatcher

The room visualiser I built earlier uses stock rooms rendered in Blender and recolours them in the browser with plain colour maths. I’d ruled out generative models for it: they guess, and a paint tool that guesses is a bad paint tool. But I think people kept want their room, not mine. So I built repaints as an experiment, and spent most of the effort on the parts around the model: pinning it to a real paint, measuring how far it drifts, and never charging for a miss. #What you do Upload a photo of the room. Pick a wall colour from the catalogue or your favourites. Optionally pick a second paint for the trim: skirting, doors etc… Wait a bit while the repaint runs in the background. Drag a before/after slider across the result. Try more colours on the same photo. If a repaint fails, nothing is charged and you get a short reason: the model declined the photo, the service was busy, or it just didn’t work. #Under the hood It’s a Laravel app, so a repaint is a queued job wrapped around one…
