Have these ready
Prepare the product’s real shape and decide how much supporting surface should be visible.
Product visual briefs
Product pedestal images without a floating object
Make the support surface part of the brief. State where the product rests and the light direction, then check the contact point before evaluating the surrounding decoration.
You choose your own source and review the current cost before generation.
Plan the finished piece
Look for a consistent base ellipse and shadow. A pedestal should support the object rather than intersect it or repeat through the glass.
Try this before committing
Inspect the contact point between the product and platform. The base should meet the surface and the shadow should begin there. If the platform visually dominates, lower its contrast or choose a simpler scene rather than enlarging the product unnaturally.

Make the first version
Describe one simple pedestal with a clear contact point. After generation, inspect the bottom of the item before the whole scene. The base should meet the surface, with a shadow consistent with the light; check that the pedestal does not pass through the bottle or merge with its packaging.
Choose the next move
A low plain support emphasizes the product; a sculptural stand becomes part of the art direction. Use the latter only when it does not distort perceived product size.

Look closely at the examples
Why consider this directionThe styled product scene can help you consider a supporting surface, negative space and a restrained lighting direction.
Check before choosingCheck contact and the object’s shape separately from the setting. An earlier example does not establish a general quality ranking between models.
Why consider this directionA different product-art direction offers another way to evaluate light, display structure and the space around an object.
Check before choosingInspect the cap, edges and supporting surface. Do not assume different example images used identical prompts or prove the same product was preserved.
Why consider this directionA simple bottle reference helps separate product identity from new decisions about the surrounding scene.
Check before choosingCompare silhouette, cap and base before decorative light. This example is not evidence of your own SKU or packaging accuracy.
Questions for this project
How can I avoid a floating product?
Look for a gap under the base, a disconnected shadow or conflicting light directions. Clarify the contact in the brief and simplify the surrounding scene. If the product shape itself changes, return to a clearer reference rather than adding a darker shadow to hide the gap.
