Example of a prompt for a hyper-realistic scene
The transformation into a 3D figurine can be done using various prompts. For instance, one prompt depicts a hyper-realistic film frame of the uploaded individual painting their own figurine on a table. The scene is set in a creative workshop with realistic painting tools and hobby materials scattered around. The resulting figurine appears ultra-realistic with human-like skin tone, natural facial features, and high-end PVC texture.

Prompt for semi-realistic art style
Other prompts include a semi-realistic art style of the character in the uploaded photo as a detailed 1/6 scale figurine. It places the character in a heroic pose atop a textured rocky platform, with subtle stone and moss accents for a collectable look. The figurine is displayed in a glass case with soft LED lighting to enhance its sculpting and painted details.
Clay effect
Creating clay busts
Use a prompt showing the uploaded person sculpting their own full-sized bust in clay, and placed on a wooden stand. The room in this case is filled with daylight coming through a window. The bust can have lifelike skin tones and also intricate facial expressions.
