PS1 Style 3D Model Generator
Turn an idea into a retro PS1-style 3D model
Describe it in one sentence. About 2–3 min later you download a retro PS1-style 3D model as GLB or FBX, ready to use in your game. No 3D skills needed.

Each example is an actual run of this template at Standard quality, made from a typed idea or a sketch.
From idea to file in about 2–3 min
Type what you want, then wait while 2 AI steps run. Nothing to set up.

Image to 3D (Prism 3.1) builds the mesh with a 1,000-face face limit and Fast textures, so it's light enough for real-time use.
- GLB FBX4YoursYou download the file
As GLB or FBX. You can use it however you like.
Import it like any other asset
Drag the GLB or FBX into your project. Scale and texture size are already set for the engine you pick.
Export presets set the format, scale and texture size for each engine.
Fill a level with props before you commit to final art.
Every asset uses the same locked style, so a whole set looks like one game.
GLB opens in Blender if you want to tweak, rig or re-texture it.
How this template works
Image Studio designs the asset in a fixed style, then Image to 3D builds it within a 1,000-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.
- Set texture filtering to Point/Nearest in your engine for the authentic pixel look.
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.
- Step 1Image Studio
Draws a picture from a sentence or a sketch.
- Step 2Image to 3D
Turns a single picture into a textured 3D model.
What you need
- One sentence or a sketchNo prompt skills needed

The files you get
For Godot, Blender, websites and AR viewers.
Drag it into Unity, Unreal or Roblox Studio.
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: For the full PS1 look, add vertex snapping and affine texture warping in your engine's shader.
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.
- Connect the MCP once in your account settings. It's included in every paid plan.
- Copy the brief and swap the example in the first line for your own.
- Paste it into a new chat. Your assistant runs every step and shows you each result.

My idea: A retro gas station fuel pump
Mood: Classic
Polygons: Standard
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: retro PS1-era 3D game asset, very low polygon count, chunky blocky shapes, small pixelated low-resolution textures, slightly muted colours, 1990s video game look. One single isolated object only, centered, shown in a three-quarter front view from slightly above, the entire object visible with generous empty margin. Seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no cast shadows, no ground plane, no text, no labels, no annotations, no arrows.
"""
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: retro PS1-era 3D game asset, very low polygon count, chunky blocky shapes, small pixelated low-resolution textures, slightly muted colours, 1990s video game look. One single isolated object only, centered, shown in a three-quarter front view from slightly above, the entire object visible with generous empty margin. Seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no cast shadows, no ground plane, no text, no labels, no annotations, no arrows.
"""
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 1000.
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 Godot unless I name another target: call convert_model on the 3D model with output_format "fbx_zip" (FBX with its textures) for Unity or Unreal / UEFN. 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.
