I tested @3DAIStudio and it is great and a lot of fun! I created a prompt of a stormtrooper and then animated him in 3D @Blender later. Looks really promising. Tutorial will follow soon!

@nickfloats
generate an artifact in @midjourney, turn into a 3D model with @3DAIStudio, 3D print the AI , artifact on an @Ultimaker, generate paint, ideas using retexture in MJ, paint the artifact with acrylics, AI to real life and back again

created this 3D mesh using @3DAIStudio with the latest Prism 1.5 update, then enhanced it further using the TextureAI tool, which is also part of 3D AI Studio. I think it turned out pretty cool, what do you think?
