Client wants a different sofa but same layout
Client feedback often sounds simple.
“Can we try a different sofa?”
But designers know what this usually means:
• Re-check proportions
• Re-balance the composition
• Re-render the whole scene
The problem isn’t the sofa. It’s that one small change forces you to restart everything.
The real workflow issue
Most rendering workflows don’t allow object-level control.
If you change one item, the entire image resets.
That breaks:
- Layout decisions
- Lighting balance
- The original design intent
A better way to handle this revision
Instead of re-rendering the full scene, adjust only the sofa:
- Keep the same layout
- Keep lighting and camera angle
- Replace one object, nothing else
This lets you respond to client feedback without losing your work.
Why this matters professionally
- Faster turnaround
- Fewer errors
- More confidence during revisions
You’re not generating options randomly. You’re refining a design with intention.
The takeaway
Client revisions don’t have to reset your workflow.
The goal is control, not automation.
