03 / The challenge
Clarity before decoration.
The core of Tuinzie is the editor. It lets users explore their future garden with real materials. The editor currently works with manual masking: • upload a garden photo • mask the area by hand • select a product (tile, material, color) • receive four variations At this stage the results land around 50 percent accuracy. In most cases one of the variations matches the chosen product well enough to give a realistic impression. Improving accuracy requires experimenting with conditioning methods, depth workflows, and training the system with more reference images. In the future this will become a guided experience where users receive multiple high-quality concepts in seconds — a task that traditionally costs between €500 and €1500 per render. This experiment shows that 3D-level visualization can be produced on demand and for a fraction of the time and cost.
