Behind the scenes

How this template works

Image Studio designs the asset in a fixed style, then Image to 3D builds it within a 2,000-face polygon budget. The export presets set format, scale and texture size for your engine.

  1. 1
    Step 1 · Image Studio

    Design the asset

    Image Studio turns your text or sketch into a clean concept render. The vegetation template asks for foliage as solid clumps, which 3D reconstructs far better than single leaves. The object is isolated on white so the 3D step sees one clear shape.

  2. 2
    Step 2 · Image to 3D

    Build the 3D model

    Image to 3D (Prism 3.1) builds the mesh with a 2,000-face face limit and Fast textures, so it's light enough for real-time use.

Tips for the best result

  • Describe one object, not a scene: "a wooden barrel with iron rings".
  • A rough sketch is enough; notes and arrows on the paper are ignored.
  • Make several assets with the same template to build a matching set.

Do it yourself for more control

  • Change the style text in the Image Studio prompt to match your game's art direction.
  • Use Remesh to hit an exact triangle count or get quad topology.
  • Use LOD to generate lighter versions for distant objects.

Good to know

Leaves are solid geometry, not alpha cards; for dense realistic foliage use alpha-card tools in your engine.

MCP connector

Run this template from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Connect the 3D AI Studio MCP to your AI assistant and paste the brief into the chat. It runs the same steps with the same prompts and settings, shows you the result in the conversation and saves it to your library.

Chat brief · Low-Poly Tree & Vegetation
Use the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "Low-Poly Tree & Vegetation" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/3d-tree-model-generator) for me.

My idea: A stylized pine tree with a chunky trunk
Season: Summer
Age: Mature

Follow these steps in order. The prompts and settings are the template's own, so use them word for word and only put my idea where it says {MY IDEA}.

1. Design the asset
Call generate_image_nano_2_1 with aspect_ratio "1:1", resolution "1K", output_format "png" and this prompt:
"""
A finished 3D game asset render of {MY IDEA}. Style: low-poly 3D game asset, faceted flat-shaded geometric planes, simplified chunky shapes, a limited palette of flat colours, no texture noise, like a stylized mobile game prop. Foliage as chunky solid clumps, not individual leaves. One single isolated object only, centered, shown in a three-quarter front view from slightly above, the entire object visible with generous empty margin. Seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no cast shadows, no ground plane, no text, no labels, no annotations, no arrows. Surface and light: soft, even, diffuse studio light. Metal, gems, glass-like and wet or glossy materials show what they are through colour and a soft satin sheen, never through mirror reflections, bright specular hot spots or reflections of the surroundings. Glowing parts (eyes, runes, lava, neon, gems) are painted as bright, flat emissive colour on the surface itself, with no light spilling onto nearby surfaces, no halo, bloom or glow around the object, and no light rays, sparkles or particles in the air.
"""
If I want to start from a sketch or reference image instead, call upload_image so I can hand it over, then call edit_image_gpt with the upload in images, quality "low", output_format "png" and this prompt:
"""
This is a rough sketch. Recreate the object it shows as a finished 3D game asset render, keeping the sketch's design, proportions and key details, and ignore any handwritten notes, arrows and paper. Style: low-poly 3D game asset, faceted flat-shaded geometric planes, simplified chunky shapes, a limited palette of flat colours, no texture noise, like a stylized mobile game prop. Foliage as chunky solid clumps, not individual leaves. One single isolated object only, centered, shown in a three-quarter front view from slightly above, the entire object visible with generous empty margin. Seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no cast shadows, no ground plane, no text, no labels, no annotations, no arrows. Surface and light: soft, even, diffuse studio light. Metal, gems, glass-like and wet or glossy materials show what they are through colour and a soft satin sheen, never through mirror reflections, bright specular hot spots or reflections of the surroundings. Glowing parts (eyes, runes, lava, neon, gems) are painted as bright, flat emissive colour on the surface itself, with no light spilling onto nearby surfaces, no halo, bloom or glow around the object, and no light rays, sparkles or particles in the air.
"""

2. Build the 3D model
Call generate_prism_3_1 with the task_id of the image from step 1 in images, texture_model "3.5", texture_quality "fast", geometry_quality "standard", pbr false, face_limit 2000, lighting_removal false.
For a lighter, game-optimized mesh with clean low-poly topology, call generate_p2 instead with texture_model "3.5", texture_quality "standard", pbr false, lighting_removal false and no face_limit.

3. Export
Export it for Unity unless I name another target: call convert_model on the 3D model with output_format "fbx_zip" (FBX with its textures) for Unity, Unreal / UEFN or Roblox Studio. Godot 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.
