Clearer photos gives better results. A face that is easy to see, a pet that stands out, or a car photographed from a clean angle usually turns out better.
Crowded backgrounds, several people, low lighting, filters, screenshots, or heavy shadows can make the final design harder to read.
If the subject us too far from the camera, there is less detail to work with once the image is converted.
Natural lighting usually helps more. Clean, bright images with balanced contrast hold up better than heavily edited ones.
Some images work well at smaller sizes. Others need more space to keep details from getting lost. Give the image enough room to stay readable.
Pick the image where the subject stands out, the shapes are easy to follow, and nothing feels crowded.
It’s the photo that already looks steady before anything is changed. It doesn’t need extra effects or heavy editing to feel special. It already works on its own.
A custom kit doesn’t need a perfect image. It just needs one that holds together well enough to become something satisfying to build.
