How to Create a 3D Character from a Photo

  1. 1

    Upload your photo

    Start by selecting a clear photo of the person you want to transform. A front-facing portrait with good lighting works best.

  2. 2

    Describe your character

    Enter a text prompt to guide the AI. You can describe the character's clothing, style, or any other details you want to see in the final 3D model.

  3. 3

    Generate your 3D character

    With your photo uploaded and prompt entered, click to generate. The AI will create a detailed 3D character visualization for you in seconds.

  4. 4

    Download your character image

    Your high-resolution 3D character image is ready to be downloaded. Use it for your game, animation project, or as a unique avatar.

Turn any portrait or selfie into a dynamic 3D character with just a few clicks. There is no need for complex 3D modeling software or technical skills. Simply upload a clear picture, and our AI will handle the intricate process of generating a three-dimensional model. This process transforms a flat image into a full-bodied character visualization, capturing a sense of depth and form. It’s the fastest way to see yourself, your friends, or your original characters come to life in 3D.

From 2D Image to 3D Model in Seconds

Create high-quality 3D character images that capture the essence of your photo. The AI is designed to interpret facial features, clothing, and overall appearance to produce a detailed and realistic representation. Whether you need a true-to-life digital double or a stylized avatar, you can guide the AI with text prompts to refine the final look. Describe the desired artistic direction, from photorealistic styles to more cartoonish or game-like aesthetics, for a character that fits your creative vision perfectly.

Generate Lifelike and Stylized Characters

Your creative control doesn't stop after the upload. Refine and customize your 3D character by adding descriptive text prompts. Want to change the outfit from a t-shirt to a stylish denim jacket? Or maybe alter the hair color or add accessories? Just type your desired changes, and the AI will reinterpret the model accordingly. This combination of image and text input gives you the flexibility to experiment and iterate on your character's design until it’s exactly what you envisioned for your project.
