Using Multi-Shot with Sphere

Use Multi-Shot if you want to export multiple images in one batch.

  • Configure your first image with the PrCodes, camera position, environment and animation you want & select Multi-Shot.
  • The current settings for Scene, PrCodes, Animations and Render Options will appear underneath Current Shot.
  • Select the + sign next to Current Shot in the Add panel.
  • Your image will then be added to the Review panel.
  • The price will update each time a new image is added to the Review panel.



  • Configure your next image. In this example we've changed the interior camera and added an animation.

    Any settings you change after adding your first shot, e.g the camera position, Environment, Animations, PrCodes and output settings will show in the Add panel as separate images.
  • Select each + sign to add each image


  • In this example, as we've changed the interior camera and added an animation the final export would include 4 images, showing each camera with and without the animation.



Changing/Removing the Settings

Go to the Controls section to change the Environment and Animations and Camera Control to configure the camera. Drag and Drop CSV Files or change the Prcode Configuration to change and add PrCodes.

As an example, we will change the Environment:


  • Click on the Environment button in the Controls menu.
  • Choose a new environment. The environment in the Viewport will change to the new environment you’ve chosen.
  • In the Add panel under Multi Shot, the new environment is added.
  • Click on the + sign to add the new environment. The new environment is added under Scenes in the Review panel. Click on Scenes to reveal each environment.
  • Click on the X button to the right of the environment you want to delete. You also have the option to keep both environments by not clicking the delete button. You can export more than 1 environment at a time in Multi Shot.
