Why Text to 3D is Hit or Miss

When you use Text to 3D directly, the AI interprets your prompt however it wants. You can't see what it's creating until it's done, and results vary wildly each time.

  • • Wrong pose or proportions
  • • Missing details you imagined
  • • Style doesn't match your vision
  • • Need many retries to get close

Longer, more detailed prompts work better! Specify the style, pose, view angle, colors, details, and more.

Simply update your prompt and click generate again to create a new set of images:

What to include in your prompt:
  • • Style: Pixar style, realistic, stylized 3D, anime
