How this template works
A friends figurine starts from separate photos: one of each friend. Image Studio puts everyone together in the pose you pick, in one style, then Image to 3D builds the group as a single printable piece.

Do it yourself for more control
- Describe your own pose in the Image Studio prompt, like holding a trophy together or pointing at the camera; keep every hand in front of the bodies and a little space between everyone, so nothing floats or merges in 3D.
- Use Ultra mesh quality for three or four friends.
- Use Add Base for a wider plinth with room for your names.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
- Upload one clear photo per friend; selfies work, the bodies are reconstructed.
- Faces should be well lit and not too small.
- A group photo works too, as long as everyone is clearly visible.
Good to know: Up to four friends per figurine; with more people each face gets too small to keep a good likeness.

upload_imageedit_image_gptgenerate_prism_3_1convert_modelget_generationshow_generationUse the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "Friends Figurine" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/friends-figurine) for me. My photo(s): I'll hand them over when you call upload_image. Pose: Side by side Style: Stylized 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 Friends Figurine template" so I can hand them over (images attached in the chat don't reach the MCP). I can upload up to 4 photos of the same subject; use all of them. 2. Put my friends together Call edit_image_gpt with my uploaded photo(s) in images, quality "low", output_format "png" and this prompt: """ The photos show two to four friends, usually one person per photo; 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. 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: the friends stand side by side with a small gap between them, relaxed and smiling, each giving one thumbs-up with the elbow bent out to the side and the hand held away from the body at chest height, the other arm hanging relaxed slightly away from the body. They all stand together on one shared round base, which joins the group into a single printable piece. 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: every figure, heads and faces included, is unmistakably in the stylized look described above, all of them together 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.

Yes. That's the idea: one photo per friend, taken anywhere. The template combines them into one scene and one figurine.
Image to 3D builds the model from the front view. Arms behind someone's back are hidden there, so a hand ends up floating, and arms or shoulders that touch melt into one lump. The poses keep every hand in front and a little space between everyone, so each friend comes out clean and the figurine prints in one piece.
The couple figurine is made for a couple or family: holding hands, or a romantic pose like a twirl, heart hands or sitting on a bench. This one is made for friends: a separate photo of each friend and group poses like a high five or cheers.
