How it works

From photos to file in about 2–3 min

Upload a photo, then wait while 2 AI steps run. Nothing to set up.

  1. 1
    You
    You add a photo

    Everyone should be clearly visible

  2. Image Studio2
    AI
    AI redraws your picture

    Image Studio keeps every person's face, hair and clothing, places them side by side with a little space between them on a shared round base and isolates them on white.

  3. Image to 3D3
    AI
    AI builds it in 3D

    Image to 3D (Prism 3.1) turns the group render into one textured 3D model.

Give it as a gift

Birthdays, weddings, a thank-you for a teacher. Nobody else will have the same one.

Paint it

Print in grey and paint it, or print in colour if your printer can.

Behind the scenes

How this template works

A couple figurine is the photo figurine with a group-aware prompt: everyone keeps their identity and they stand together on one base, so the result prints as a single piece.

  1. 1
    Step 1 · Image Studio

    Prepare your photo

    Image Studio keeps every person's face, hair and clothing, places them side by side with a little space between them on a shared round base and isolates them on white.

    GPT Image 2.5 Flare · low quality

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

    Build the 3D model

    Image to 3D (Prism 3.1) turns the group render into one textured 3D model.

    Prism 3.1 · Fast textures · Standard mesh

    Open Image to 3D

Do it yourself for more control

  • Describe a pose in the Image Studio prompt, like raising a glass or each holding a flower; leave a little space between them, since arms and bodies that touch merge in 3D and hugs can leave a floating hand.
  • Use Ultra mesh quality for groups of three or more people.
  • Use Add Base for a wider plinth with room for an engraving.

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.

  1. Step 1
    Image Studio

    Edits and redraws pictures with AI image models.

  2. Step 2
    Image to 3D

    Turns a single picture into a textured 3D model.

StylizedDefault

a premium designer vinyl collectible toy. Proportions: the head is about one third of the total height, slightly larger hands and feet, a compact body. Everything is simplified into soft, rounded, smooth shapes with no fine texture: hair as a few big sculpted chunks, clothing as clean simple shapes with only the main folds. Face: simple glossy painted eyes with a small white highlight, a small simple nose, a clean friendly smile. Flat, clean, slightly saturated colours taken from the outfit, smooth semi-gloss vinyl finish. Base: a plain round glossy white base.

Realistic

a premium hand-painted collectible resin statue at true-to-life proportions. The face is sculpted and hand-painted with natural skin tones and soft painted shading (painted, never photographic). Hair is sculpted into defined locks and strands, clothing has crisp sculpted folds, seams and fabric texture. Natural colours matching the photos, matte painted finish with subtle satin highlights. Base: a plain round matte black plinth.

Chibi

an extremely cute super-deformed chibi figure. Proportions: about 2.5 heads tall, the head as large as the whole body (around 45% of the total height), a tiny rounded body, very short stubby arms and legs, small round mitten-like hands and small rounded shoes or paws. Face: huge round sparkling eyes filling about a third of the face with big glossy highlights, a tiny dot nose, a small happy mouth and soft rosy blush on the cheeks. Hair in big, soft, rounded chunks that keep the hairstyle and colour. Clothing simplified to its main shapes and colours with no small details or wrinkles. Bright, clean, slightly pastel colours, smooth soft matte PVC finish, kawaii and adorable like a premium anime collectible. Base: a plain round pastel-coloured base.

Bronze

a classical lost-wax cast bronze statuette at true-to-life proportions. Every surface (skin, hair, eyes, clothing and base) is the same solid bronze metal: deep warm brown bronze with a darker patina in the recesses and polished golden highlights on raised edges such as the nose, cheekbones, knuckles and fold ridges. The eyes are sculpted in the metal, not painted. Confident sculpted modelling of hair and clothing folds. No paint and no other colours anywhere. Base: a round bronze plinth in the same metal.

Your download

The files you get

STLThe standard file for 3D printers.

Open it in a slicer such as Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer or Cura, then press print.

3MFA newer print file that also keeps size and colours.

Best for Bambu Lab and Prusa printers.

OBJA universal 3D file with its colour texture.

Opens in Blender and almost every 3D app.

Best results

Which photo to use

A photo like this works
  • Two to four people work best.
  • Faces should be clearly visible and not too small in the photo.
  • You can upload separate photos of each person.

Good to know: Large groups get less detail per person; for five or more people make separate figurines.

Chat brief · Couple & Family Figurine
Use the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "Couple & Family Figurine" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/couple-figurine) for me.

My photo(s): I'll hand them over when you call upload_image.
Style: Stylized
Outfits: As in the photo
Pose: Original

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 Couple & Family Figurine 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. Prepare my photo
Call edit_image_gpt with my uploaded photo(s) in images, quality "low", output_format "png" and this prompt:
"""
The reference photo(s) show two or more people; all of them are the subjects. Keep every person instantly recognisable through what identifies them: face shape, features, hairstyle, hair colour, skin tone, glasses or beard, and their outfits with colours and patterns. Their real body proportions do NOT carry over: head size, body, arms and legs follow the style below exactly, the same for everyone. Pose them side by side with a small gap between them, holding hands between them with the joined hands clearly visible in front of their bodies, other arms relaxed slightly away from their sides. Every arm and hand stays fully visible from the front: never link arms, never wrap an arm around or behind another person's back, waist or shoulders, and no one stands in front of anyone else. Keep a clear gap of empty background between the people: their bodies, shoulders, arms and legs never touch or overlap, except the hands or held objects the pose joins. Every arm is held slightly away from its own body with visible space between arm and torso, never pressed against it or folded across the chest. Their shared base is wide enough to keep these gaps. Do NOT copy any face from the photo: re-create every head, face and hair in exactly the same style, material and finish as the rest of the figures, with no photographic skin texture and no head that looks pasted on. Each photo may show one of the people or several of them together, and several photos may show the same person. Every distinct person appears exactly once: nobody missing, nobody duplicated and no extra people, and strangers in the background are left out. The photos may be cropped or show only faces or upper bodies: reconstruct each person's COMPLETE body from the top of the head to the feet, including legs and shoes, complete and believable at the proportions of the requested style, keeping their heights relative to each other. Never crop, cut off or hide any part of anyone's body, never show busts or half figures, and do not leave anyone outside the frame. Style: a premium designer vinyl collectible toy. Proportions: the head is about one third of the total height, slightly larger hands and feet, a compact body. Everything is simplified into soft, rounded, smooth shapes with no fine texture: hair as a few big sculpted chunks, clothing as clean simple shapes with only the main folds. Face: simple glossy painted eyes with a small white highlight, a small simple nose, a clean friendly smile. Flat, clean, slightly saturated colours taken from the outfit, smooth semi-gloss vinyl finish. Base: a plain round glossy white base. Pose: standing side by side holding hands, cheerful smiles. Transform the subject into a single collectible figurine: the entire figure visible from head to toe with generous empty margin above the head and below the base, standing upright on a small, plain, round, flat base, perfectly centered, facing the camera straight-on in a frontal full-body view, with balanced margins on all sides and nothing cropped. Chunky, sturdy proportions with no thin fragile parts. Even, soft studio lighting with no harsh shadows. Isolate cleanly on a flat, seamless, pure white (#FFFFFF) studio background: no other objects, people, props, text, logos or shadows on the background, and clean accurate edges without halos. A sharp, clean product render of the physical figure. Most important: the whole figure, head and face included, is unmistakably in the stylized look described above, as one consistent physical object, with no photographic part.
"""

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.

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.
