Behind the scenes

How this template works

Image Studio designs your original character as an anime figure with solid hair and clothing, so nothing is too thin to print, then Image to 3D builds the model.

  1. 1
    Step 1 · Image Studio

    Design the figure

    Image Studio poses your character on a round display base, with hair and clothes as thick solid shapes and every limb attached, so the figure prints in one piece.

    Open Image Studio
  2. 2
    Step 2 · Image to 3D

    Build the 3D model

    Image to 3D (Prism 3.1) builds the figure with Fast textures and Standard mesh quality.

Tips for the best result

  • Describe hair, outfit and one prop: "a fox spirit with nine tails and a paper lantern".
  • Upload your character art to keep the exact design.
  • Chibi prints well on FDM; scale figures shine in resin.

Do it yourself for more control

  • Use Split for printing to print the head and body separately for cleaner paint jobs.
  • Print in resin at 1/7 scale (about 25 cm) for display-quality detail.
  • Ask for a pose in the Image Studio prompt: sitting, mid-swing, waving.

Good to know

Very fine hair strands and transparent effects are made solid; paint glow and translucency after printing.

Chat brief · Anime Figure
Use the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "Anime Figure" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/anime-figure-generator) for me.

My idea: A silver-haired swordswoman in a red kimono
Style: Scale figure
Pose: Dynamic

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 figure
Call generate_image_nano_2_1 with aspect_ratio "1:1", resolution "1K", output_format "png" and this prompt:
"""
Character: {MY IDEA}. A single collectible anime figure: one character in a dynamic but compact pose on a round display base, hair and clothing sculpted as thick solid shapes with no thin loose strands, every limb and accessory connected to the body or the base, the entire figure visible from head to base with generous empty margin, perfectly centered, three-quarter front view. Isolated on a seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no shadows on the background, no text, no box. Style: premium painted anime scale figure with clean cel-shaded colours, big expressive eyes and crisp sculpted details. Light and surfaces: soft, even, diffuse studio light from the front, and at most a soft satin sheen: no mirror-like gloss, no bright white hot spots or glare, and no reflections of lights, windows or surroundings.
"""
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:
"""
Turn the character in the reference drawing into an anime figure, keeping the design, outfit, hair and colours. A single collectible anime figure: one character in a dynamic but compact pose on a round display base, hair and clothing sculpted as thick solid shapes with no thin loose strands, every limb and accessory connected to the body or the base, the entire figure visible from head to base with generous empty margin, perfectly centered, three-quarter front view. Isolated on a seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no shadows on the background, no text, no box. Style: premium painted anime scale figure with clean cel-shaded colours, big expressive eyes and crisp sculpted details. Light and surfaces: soft, even, diffuse studio light from the front, and at most a soft satin sheen: no mirror-like gloss, no bright white hot spots or glare, and no reflections of lights, windows or surroundings.
"""

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, lighting_removal false.

3. 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.

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.
