Behind the scenes

How this template works

Image Studio paints each card as a portrait illustration, with the subject at the top and a quiet bottom third for your frame and rules text.

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.

richly painted digital fantasy illustration, painterly brushwork, dramatic rim light and saturated colours, like a premium deckbuilder card.

bold comic-book illustration with thick ink outlines, cel shading and punchy flat colours.

Dark ink

dark gothic ink-and-wash illustration, heavy blacks and a muted desaturated palette with one accent colour, eerie mood.

How to describe it

  • Name the card, then describe the moment: "Shield Wall: dwarves locking shields against arrows".
  • Spells read best with one caster and a big effect.
  • Keep it to one subject; busy scenes get lost at card size.

Good to know: The art has no frame, title or rules text; add those in your card layout.

Chat brief · Card Game Art
Use the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "Card Game Art" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/card-game-art-generator) for me.

My idea: Fireball: a mage hurling a giant ball of fire
Style: Painted fantasy
Moment: Action

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. Paint the card art
Call generate_image_nano_2_1 with aspect_ratio "2:3", resolution "1K", output_format "png" and this prompt:
"""
Card: {MY IDEA}. Style: richly painted digital fantasy illustration, painterly brushwork, dramatic rim light and saturated colours, like a premium deckbuilder card. Full-bleed illustration for a trading card game card in portrait format: one clear focal subject large in the upper two thirds with a strong readable silhouette, a dynamic moment, dramatic lighting and a simple atmospheric background, nothing important in the bottom third where the card's text box goes. No card frame, no border, no text, no title, no numbers, no icons, no watermark.
"""
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 (the result keeps my image's proportions):
"""
Turn the scene in the reference image into finished card art, keeping its composition and subject. Style: richly painted digital fantasy illustration, painterly brushwork, dramatic rim light and saturated colours, like a premium deckbuilder card. Full-bleed illustration for a trading card game card in portrait format: one clear focal subject large in the upper two thirds with a strong readable silhouette, a dynamic moment, dramatic lighting and a simple atmospheric background, nothing important in the bottom third where the card's text box goes. No card frame, no border, no text, no title, no numbers, no icons, no watermark.
"""

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.
