Mastering the Generate Tab in 3D AI Studio’s Image Studio #

Why Start With Image Generation? #

Creative work can stall at the blank-canvas stage. You might know a game asset’s theme, a character’s vibe, or a marketing shot’s mood, but finding the right look often takes days. Slow ideation hurts schedules, especially when your final goal is a 3D asset.

The Generate tab in 3D AI Studio’s Image Studio tackles this head-on. With a single text prompt, you can generate dozens of image ideas, refine the best one in the Edit tab, and then pass it to Image-to-3D for a production-ready mesh.

Prompt Engineering Essentials #

Good prompts name what you want. Great prompts also set the scene and mood. Use this checklist:

• Subject - Say exactly who or what you want. For example, “a dual-bladed cyber ninja”.

• Style - Choose an art style or genre, like “watercolor” or “film noir”, or go for a stylized 3D look (e.g., “Disney Style” or “Pixar Style”).

• Technique cues - Add details such as camera lens, lighting, render engine, or background (e.g., “solid white background”).

• Iterative refining - Look at your first results and note what you like or dislike. Then adjust your prompt with words like “without X” or “more of Y” and try again.

Example Workflow: Crafting a Stylized 3D Game Asset #

Imagine you need a vibrant low-poly sword for your indie game. Start with a prompt like “stylized fantasy sword, low-poly game asset, cel-shaded” in ImageGen3. After generating the first batch, refine your prompt-tweak the style, add decorative details or adjust proportions-to steer the renders closer to your vision. When you spot a render with the right silhouette and color palette, pop it into the Edit tab and launch Gemini Edit. Here you can remove or add elements, alter textures or lighting, even shift the overall style-all through simple AI-driven commands. It’s like Photoshop, but powered entirely by natural language. Once your design is polished, you can send the image to Image-to-3D.

This pipeline lets you generate anything you can imagine-characters, environments, props, vehicles, and beyond.

Next Steps: Edit, Stylize, and Move to 3D #

Once your image captures the right direction, head to the Edit tab. Here you can inpaint, upscale, or swap color palettes with simple natural language commands like "Remove X from the image" or "Change the style to be more stylized." This lets you polish visually without restarting your prompt. For more tips on using the Edit tab, see our guide in the Edit Category. Visit the Edit Guide
