How this template works
This is the action-figure trend as something you can actually print. Image Studio turns your photo into a toy-style figure with accessories, then Image to 3D builds a model you can print and paint.

Do it yourself for more control
- Name your accessories in the Image Studio prompt: a laptop, a camera, a skateboard, a coffee cup.
- Use Ultra mesh quality for crisper joints and accessory detail.
- Print it at 15 cm (6 inch) scale in Print Export, the classic action figure size.
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.

The files you get
Open it in a slicer such as Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer or Cura, then press print.
Best for Bambu Lab and Prusa printers.
Opens in Blender and almost every 3D app.
Which photo to use
- One clearly visible subject works best; crop out other people if you can.
- A full-body photo helps, but a selfie is fine: the pose and body are reconstructed.
- Daylight beats flash: even light keeps colours true.
Good to know: The figure is one solid piece; joint lines are sculpted for the look, they don't move.

upload_imageedit_image_gptgenerate_prism_3_1convert_modelget_generationshow_generationUse the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "AI Action Figure" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/ai-action-figure) for me. My photo(s): I'll hand them over when you call upload_image. Style: Modern Pose: Standing 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 AI Action Figure template" so I can hand them over (images attached in the chat don't reach the MCP). I can upload up to 5 photos of the same subject; use all of them. 2. Design the action figure 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. Where an outfit, costume, uniform or armour is described below, it replaces their own clothes; their face, hair and look still carry over. If several photos are provided they all show the same subject from different angles or moments: merge them into ONE consistent figure and pick the clearest features. The photos may be cropped or show only the face or upper body: reconstruct the COMPLETE body anyway, from the top of the head to the feet or paws, including legs, feet, shoes, tail and all limbs, complete and believable at the proportions of the requested style, matching everything visible. Never crop, cut off or hide any part of the body, never show a bust or half figure, and do not leave anything outside the frame. Transform the subject into a single 6-inch collectible action figure: painted plastic toy look with visible articulation joints at the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, a confident heroic standing pose with feet apart, and two or three small accessories that suit the person's outfit, job or hobby, held in the hands or clipped to the figure (no loose parts). Standing on a small round black display base. The entire figure visible from head to base with generous empty margin, perfectly centered, frontal full-body view, nothing cropped. Chunky printable proportions with no thin fragile parts. Isolated on a seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no shadows on the background, no text, no box or packaging. Style: modern premium collectible action figure with a detailed, true-to-life sculpt and paint job (painted, never photographic) and the person's own outfit. Face: sculpted and hand-painted like the rest of the figure: crisp sculpted features, painted eyes with a small highlight, painted eyebrows, smooth painted skin with soft painted shading (painted, never photographic), no pores, no photographic skin texture and no photo lighting. Hair and any beard are sculpted into defined locks and painted, with no individual photographic hairs or stubble. The hair is one solid sculpted plastic piece and the skin is smooth painted plastic, like a real factory-painted action figure. Most important: the whole figure, head and face included, is a factory-painted plastic action figure, 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 printing: call convert_model on the 3D model with output_format "3mf" (or "stl" if I ask for it), plus max_size and unit "cm" if I gave you a print size. 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.
