How to Create a 3D Printed Figurine of Yourself (Easy Guide)

Hey there! Ever wanted to create a cool stylized figurine of yourself? Like those awesome anime figures or Funko Pops, but with YOUR face on it? Well, I've got some good news - you can totally do this using AI, and it's way easier than you'd think!

I'm gonna show you how to turn a simple selfie into a 3D-printable figurine using 3D AI Studio. Let's get started!

• A good photo of yourself (preferably standing)
• Access to 3D AI Studio
• A 3D printer (or a 3D printing service)

Prompt: turn me into a funko pop figurine, full body, clear background

Prompt: turn me into a pixar like figurine on a pedestal

Prompt: turn me into a stylized 3d character like a pixar character in a studio lighting, full body view

Prompt: turn me into a stylized 3d character like a pixar character in a studio lighting, full body view

We’ll first create a stylized figurine image of you that’s perfect for 3D. This is fast and gives the best results later.

1. Open Image Studio → Edit → Gemini Edit
2. Upload your selfie (full body works best)
3. Use a prompt like one of these:
   • "turn me into a funko pop figurine, full body, clear background"
   • "turn me into a pixar like figurine on a pedestal"
   • "turn me into a stylized 3d character like a pixar character in a studio lighting, full body view"
4. Generate until you get a clean, full‑body figurine image with a plain background
5. Download the edited image (we’ll use it in the next step)

Pro tip: Plain backgrounds and full‑body framing produce cleaner 3D.

Now we convert that edited figurine image into a printable 3D model.

1. Go to Image to 3D
2. Upload the edited figurine image
3. Choose the model preset best suited for figurines (e.g., V1‑Sketch)
4. Generate the 3D model (GLB)
5. Download when ready

You can download STL directly from Image to 3D. Use the Remesher only if you want to clean up geometry, hit a specific polygon target, or improve tricky prints.

Direct download:

• In Image to 3D, choose STL in the download/export menu.

Optional remesh workflow:

1. Visit 3D Model Remesher
2. Upload your GLB file
3. Set these settings:
   • Export Format: STL
   • Number of Faces: ~8,000 (for better printing)
4. Click Remesh Model
5. Download the optimized model

• Take your photo against a plain background
• Use good lighting (no weird shadows!)
• Stand in a simple pose (relaxed arms, balanced stance)
• Wear something that shows your style
• Make sure your whole body is in the shot
• Dont use a photo thats too dark or blurry

Problem: The model looks weird Solution: Try a different photo or adjust your prompt

Problem: The 3D print fails Solution: Make sure you used the remesher tool!

Problem: Holes or thin parts Solution: Increase wall thickness and re‑export STL

Now you can either:

1. Print it yourself if you have a 3D printer
2. Send it to a local 3D printing service
3. Use an online 3D printing service

And boom! You've got your own mini-me figurine! Pretty cool, right?

• You can make multiple versions with different styles
• Try different poses (but keep them simple)
• Make figurines of your friends too (with their permission obvs)
• Paint your figurine after printing for extra detail

Remember, the first try might not be perfect, but thats totally normal! Just try again with different settings or prompts until you get something you love.
