How this template works
Image Studio turns your selfie into a friendly, recognisable 3D avatar bust; the render is your new profile picture, and Image to 3D builds a model for your site or streams.

What is 3D AI Studio?
3D AI Studio is a web app that makes 3D models, images and sounds with AI. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install.
A template is a saved recipe. It runs a fixed set of AI tools with settings we've already tested, so all you add is a photo or a sentence.
Step 1Image StudioEdits and redraws pictures with AI image models.
Step 2Image to 3DTurns a single picture into a textured 3D model.

polished 3D animated-film character like a modern animated movie, glossy eyes, soft rounded forms, bright friendly colours and a plain coloured top.
handmade plasticine claymation figure, visibly sculpted from soft matte modelling clay with fingerprints and tool marks, simple bead-like eyes and muted colours.
glossy collectible vinyl toy figure, very simplified features, dot eyes, smooth shiny plastic and bold flat colours.
The files you get
For Godot, Blender, websites and AR viewers.
Tap it on an iPhone to place the model in your room.

Which photo to use
- A clear, front-facing photo in daylight works best.
- Glasses, beards and hairstyles are kept.
- Several photos help when your face is partly hidden.
Good to know: The avatar is a bust (head and shoulders) and isn't rigged for face tracking.

upload_imageedit_image_gptgenerate_prism_3_1convert_modelget_generationshow_generationUse the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "3D Profile Avatar" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/3d-avatar-from-photo) for me. My photo(s): I'll hand them over when you call upload_image. Style: Friendly 3D Follow these steps in order. The prompts and settings are the template's own, so use them word for word. 1. Get my photos Call upload_image with purpose "Photo for the 3D Profile Avatar template" so I can hand them over (images attached in the chat don't reach the MCP). I can upload up to 3 photos of the same subject; use all of them. 2. Design my avatar Call edit_image_gpt with my uploaded photo(s) in images, quality "low", output_format "png" and this prompt: """ The reference photo(s) show one person; that person is the subject. Keep them recognisable through their likeness: face shape, nose, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, hairstyle, hair colour, skin tone, glasses or beard and build. Do NOT copy the face from the photo: re-create the whole head, face, hair and neck from scratch in exactly the same style, material, level of detail, lighting and colour grading as the rest of the character, as if one artist made the entire character at once. The head sits naturally on the body at the character's proportions, with no photographic skin texture, no photo lighting, no visible seam, edge or colour shift at the neck, and no head that looks pasted on. Only the outfit, gear and styling change as described. Reimagine the person as a stylized 3D cartoon avatar bust, rendered as a fully CGI 3D character and clearly not a photo or a realistic portrait: head, neck and shoulders, an oversized head with big expressive eyes, a small simplified nose, smooth simplified skin without pores or wrinkle detail, chunky sculpted hair shapes and a big friendly smile, while staying recognisable through their face shape, hairstyle, hair colour, skin tone, glasses and beard. Facing the camera in a straight-on frontal view, the bust ending in a clean rounded cut below the shoulders, the whole bust visible with generous empty margin. Seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no cast shadows, no text. Style: polished 3D animated-film character like a modern animated movie, glossy eyes, soft rounded forms, bright friendly colours and a plain coloured top. The face, hair and beard are re-created in that same style: stylized features, no photographic skin, no pores, wrinkles or realistic stubble, and hair and beard as sculpted stylized shapes with no individual hairs. Most important: the whole figure, head and face included, is a stylized 3D character bust in exactly that style, as one consistent physical object made by one artist. The face must not look like a photo or a realistic photographed face: it is re-created in exactly the same style, level of detail, finish and colours as the rest, with no photographic part anywhere. """ 3. Build the 3D model Call generate_prism_3_1 with the task_id of the image from step 2 in images, texture_model "3.5", texture_quality "fast", geometry_quality "standard", pbr false. 4. Export Export it for Website / Shopify unless I name another target: call convert_model on the 3D model with output_format "fbx_zip" (FBX with its textures) for Unity / 3D apps; output_format "usdz" for iPhone AR. Website / Shopify or Blender take the generated GLB as it is, no conversion needed. After each generation call, keep polling get_generation with its task_id until it completes, then show me the result with show_generation before you start the next step.
Or automate it with the API
The same tools are available through the 3D AI Studio API. Call them from your own code to make hundreds at once, build them into your app or run them in your pipeline.
