Each example is an actual run of this template at Standard quality, made from a typed idea or a sketch.

How it works

From idea to file in about 2–3 min

Type what you want, then wait while 2 AI steps run. Nothing to set up.

  1. Typed
    “A fluffy white sheep”

    You
    You describe it

    Or upload a sketch

  2. Image Studio2
    AI
    AI draws your idea

    Image Studio turns your text or sketch into a clean concept render. The animal template shows the whole animal standing in a calm idle pose with its legs apart, a clean starting point for rigging. The object is isolated on white so the 3D step sees one clear shape.

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

    Image to 3D (Prism 3.1) builds the mesh with a 6,000-face face limit and Fast textures, so it's light enough for real-time use.

After the download

Import it like any other asset

Drag the FBX or GLB into your project. Scale and texture size are already set for the engine you pick.

Prototype in minutes

Fill a level with props before you commit to final art.

Keep one style

Every asset uses the same locked style, so a whole set looks like one game.

Edit it in Blender

GLB opens in Blender if you want to tweak, rig or re-texture it.

Behind the scenes

How this template works

Image Studio designs the asset in a fixed style, then Image to 3D builds it within a 6,000-face polygon budget. The export presets set format, scale and texture size for your engine.

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.
  • Rig and animate the animal in Blender or with Mixamo-style tools for walk and idle cycles.

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.

Runs in your browserPhone or computer
Inside this template
  1. Step 1
    Image Studio

    Draws a picture from a sentence or a sketch.

  2. Step 2
    Image to 3D

    Turns a single picture into a textured 3D model.

CozyDefault

cozy stylized 3D game asset like a life-sim game, soft rounded shapes with gently bevelled edges, warm pastel colours and clean simple painted textures.

Low-poly

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.

Hand-painted

stylized hand-painted 3D game asset like a fantasy RPG prop, exaggerated chunky proportions, painterly hand-painted textures with soft gradients and warm highlights.

Your download

The files you get

FBXThe usual 3D file for game engines.

Drag it into Unity, Unreal or Roblox Studio.

GLBOne file with the model and its textures.

For Godot, Blender, websites and AR viewers.

How to describe it

  • 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.

Good to know: The model isn't rigged or animated; fur and feathers are painted into the texture, not separate strands.

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.

Style
Variant
  1. Connect the MCP once in your account settings. It's included in every paid plan.
  2. Copy the brief and swap the example in the first line for your own.
  3. Paste it into a new chat. Your assistant runs every step and shows you each result.

Chat brief · Stylized Animals & Critters
Use the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "Stylized Animals & Critters" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/game-animal-generator) for me.

My idea: A fluffy white sheep
Style: Cozy
Variant: Normal

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: cozy stylized 3D game asset like a life-sim game, soft rounded shapes with gently bevelled edges, warm pastel colours and clean simple painted textures. One single animal only, full body from nose to tail, standing on all of its feet in a calm neutral idle pose with its legs slightly apart, facing three-quarter front, a friendly readable silhouette, the entire animal visible with generous empty margin. Seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no cast shadows, no ground plane, no text.
"""
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: cozy stylized 3D game asset like a life-sim game, soft rounded shapes with gently bevelled edges, warm pastel colours and clean simple painted textures. One single animal only, full body from nose to tail, standing on all of its feet in a calm neutral idle pose with its legs slightly apart, facing three-quarter front, a friendly readable silhouette, the entire animal visible with generous empty margin. Seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no cast shadows, no ground plane, no text.
"""

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 6000.
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 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.
