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

    1–5 photos of the same person

  2. Image Studio2
    AI
    AI redraws your picture

    Image Studio keeps your face, hair and build, restyles you in the chosen game look and poses you in a neutral A-pose with empty hands, isolated on white.

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

    Image to 3D (Prism 3.1) builds the character with a 10,000-face limit and Fast textures, light enough for real-time use.

  4. FBX GLB

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 turns your photo into a stylized game character that still looks like you, posed in an A-pose, then Image to 3D builds a game-ready mesh you can rig and animate.

  1. 1
    Step 1 · Image Studio

    Design your character

    Image Studio keeps your face, hair and build, restyles you in the chosen game look and poses you in a neutral A-pose with empty hands, isolated on white.

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

    Build the 3D model

    Image to 3D (Prism 3.1) builds the character with a 10,000-face limit and Fast textures, light enough for real-time use.

    Open Image to 3D

Do it yourself for more control

  • Describe your class or outfit in the Image Studio prompt: "space pirate with a long coat".
  • Open the model in the Rigging tool to add a skeleton and animations.
  • Use Remesh for clean quad topology before hand-rigging in Blender.

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

    Edits and redraws pictures with AI image models.

  2. Step 2
    Image to 3D

    Turns a single picture into a textured 3D model.

Fantasy RPGDefault

stylized hand-painted 3D game asset like a fantasy RPG prop, exaggerated chunky proportions, painterly hand-painted textures with soft gradients and warm highlights. Outfit: a fantasy adventurer outfit with a leather tunic, belt pouches and boots that suits the person.

Cartoon

Roblox-style 3D game asset, chunky simple shapes with smooth bevelled edges, bright saturated flat colours, toy-like proportions and a clean readable silhouette. Outfit: the person's own clothes from the photo, simplified, with no logos or printed text.

Anime

3D anime game character model, toon-shaded like a cel-shaded anime action RPG: big shiny anime eyes, a tiny nose, a small simple mouth, smooth flat-shaded skin, hair as large glossy stylized locks, a slightly larger head and slender limbs. The person stays recognisable through hairstyle, hair colour, glasses, skin tone and outfit, but the whole character is drawn in anime style, not as a realistic person. Outfit: the person's own clothes from the photo, stylized, with no logos or printed text.

Sci-fi

stylized sci-fi 3D game asset, clean hard-surface panels with bevelled edges, a bold two-tone paint scheme with small accent colours and readable shapes, like a modern stylized space game. Outfit: a sleek sci-fi armour suit with glowing accents, helmet off so the face is visible.

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.

Best results

Which photo to use

A photo like this works
  • A clear front photo of the face matters most.
  • Full-body photos help with height and build.
  • Make your whole team and drop them into your game.

Good to know: The character is static; rigging and animation happen in the Rigging tool. Hair and capes are solid geometry.

MCP connector

Chat brief · Game Character of You
Use the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "Game Character of You" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/game-character-from-photo) for me.

My photo(s): I'll hand them over when you call upload_image.
Style: Fantasy RPG
Role: Adventurer

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 Game Character of You 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. Design my character
Call edit_image_gpt with my uploaded photo(s) in images, quality "low", output_format "png" and this prompt:
"""
The reference photo(s) show one person; that person is the subject. Keep them instantly recognisable through what identifies them: face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth and smile, hairstyle and hair colour, skin tone, glasses, beard or freckles, and their outfit with its colours and patterns. Their real body proportions do NOT carry over: head size, body, arms and legs follow the style below exactly, even where that is far from the photo. Do NOT copy the face from the photo: re-create the whole head, face, hair and neck from scratch in exactly the same style, material, level of detail, lighting and colour grading as the rest of the character, as if one artist made the entire character at once. The head sits naturally on the body at the character's proportions, with no photographic skin texture, no photo lighting, no visible seam, edge or colour shift at the neck, and no head that looks pasted on. Where an outfit, costume, uniform or armour is described below, it replaces their own clothes; their face, hair and look still carry over. If several photos are provided they all show the same subject from different angles or moments: merge them into ONE consistent figure and pick the clearest features. The photos may be cropped or show only the face or upper body: reconstruct the COMPLETE body anyway, from the top of the head to the feet or paws, including legs, feet, shoes, tail and all limbs, complete and believable at the proportions of the requested style, matching everything visible. Never crop, cut off or hide any part of the body, never show a bust or half figure, and do not leave anything outside the frame. Style: stylized hand-painted 3D game asset like a fantasy RPG prop, exaggerated chunky proportions, painterly hand-painted textures with soft gradients and warm highlights. Outfit: a fantasy adventurer outfit with a leather tunic, belt pouches and boots that suits the person. The face, hair and beard are re-created in that same style: stylized features, no photographic skin, no pores, wrinkles or realistic stubble, and hair and beard as sculpted stylized shapes with no individual hairs. One single game character in a neutral A-pose (arms slightly away from the body, legs slightly apart), full body from the top of the head to the feet, facing forward, empty hands, the entire character visible with generous empty margin. Seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no cast shadows, no ground plane, no text. Most important: the whole figure, head and face included, is one stylized 3D game character in exactly that art style, as one consistent physical object made by one artist. The face must not look like a photo or a realistic photographed face: it is re-created in exactly the same style, level of detail, finish and colours as the rest, with no photographic part anywhere.
"""

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, face_limit 10000.
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.

4. 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.
For Roblox, the mesh has to stay under 8,000 faces: pass face_limit 8000 to the 3D step.

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.

Not yet. It's generated in an A-pose so the Rigging tool can add a skeleton and animations in one step.

Yes. Face shape, hairstyle, skin tone, glasses and beard are kept; the style and outfit change with the look you pick.

You can export the mesh for Roblox Studio, Unity and Blender. Avatars for Roblox or VRChat also need their platform's rig and rules.
