3D Figurine Examples & Prompt Templates
Explore real-world use cases with copy-paste prompt templates. From realistic collectibles to viral social avatars — see how AI creates toy-style figurine art.
Professional Workspace Edition
Create a 1/7-scale collectible figurine styled in professional attire with detailed workspace setup, including miniature laptop accessory, desk environment, and premium packaging with editorial illustrations.
Based on the uploaded photo, create a 1/7-scale collectible of the subject as a (your profession): smart casual blazer over tee, press lanyard, tiny laptop accessory. Place on a round clear acrylic base (no text) on an office desk with a keyboard and notes. The computer screen shows the modelling process (viewport with wireframe and material slots, render preview window). Collector box to the side carries flat 2D editorial illustrations and a clean, premium layout printed on high-quality cardboard. Lighting: neutral daylight + soft desk lamp; camera 50mm, f/2.0, crisp detail in fabric weave and printed lanyard text (legible at close crop). Photoreal, editorial product shot.
Deluxe Painted Edition
Limited-edition figurine featuring artisan paint techniques with metallic flakes, hand-painted details, and premium packaging. Includes behind-the-scenes 3D modeling process display on screen.
Use the supplied photo for exact facial likeness. Create a 1/7-scale limited-edition painted figurine with a specially curated paint job — subtle metallic flakes in jacket paint, hand-painted shading on face — fixed pose on a clear round acrylic base (no text). Arrange the figure on a real desk; the monitor shows the 3D modelling process (high-poly sculpt, texture paint layers, and a clay preview). Next to the monitor, a deluxe collector box features flat 2D hand-drawn illustrations (orthographic views and a small painted portrait spot) printed on textured board with visible emboss/spot varnish effects. Lighting: refined studio key + back rim, camera 85mm crop to 16:9, f/2.8 for buttery bokeh, emphasise paint texture and artisan finish. Photoreal, commercial catalogue quality.
Modern Streetwear Edition
Contemporary collectible featuring modern streetwear style with backpack and coffee cup accessories. Includes 3D modeling workflow visualization and premium packaging with orthographic technical illustrations.
Use the supplied photo as the main reference for face, hair and posture. Create a 1/7-scale fixed-pose collectible figurine of the subject in modern streetwear, wearing a backpack and holding a coffee cup, standing on a round transparent acrylic base (no text, no logos). Place the figurine on a real wooden computer desk. On the left, a widescreen monitor shows the 3D modeling of this figurine: wireframe viewport, material/shader node editor, object hierarchy and a small thumbnail of the reference photo. On the right, a premium toy box stands upright, with flat 2D orthographic front/side/back line-art illustrations, matte cardboard texture and spot varnish on the photo panel. Lighting: warm desk-lamp key, soft overhead fill, subtle rim light. Camera: 35mm full-frame, f/2.0, shallow depth of field; figurine tack-sharp, background softly blurred. Photoreal, true skin tones, fabric micro-detail, realistic PVC/resin paint finish. No watermarks.

Pro Tips & Best Practices
Get better 3D figurine results faster with these proven recommendations
Do This
- ✓Use clean, well-lit selfies
Front or 3/4 angle works best. Neutral backgrounds help AI focus on facial features.
- ✓Specify texture finishes
Mention "glossy hair, matte skin, shiny accessories" for realistic toy-style rendering.
- ✓Add studio lighting cues
Include "studio lighting, soft shadows, rim lights" for professional figurine look.
- ✓Generate 6-10 variations
Create multiple versions to find the perfect pose, lighting, and finish combination.
- ✓Keep identity preservation on
Enable "Keep identity" mode to maintain recognizable facial features in the figurine.
Avoid This
- ✗Dark or shadowy photos
Low-light selfies produce muddy figurine colors. Use well-lit photos for vibrant results.
- ✗Extreme angles or poses
Side profiles and unusual poses can distort figurine proportions. Stick to front/3/4 view.
- ✗Forgetting background specification
Without "clean white background" in prompt, results may have distracting elements.
- ✗Using realistic portrait prompts
Avoid words like "photorealistic" — you want toy-style, not realistic human features.
- ✗Expecting perfect first try
Figurine generation is iterative. Try 3-5 prompts with slight variations for best results.
Quick Troubleshooting
Problem: Face doesn't look like me
Fix: Upload 2-3 clear photos from different angles. Add "maintain exact facial features, keep original identity" to prompt.
Problem: Figurine looks too realistic
Fix: Add "toy-style, plastic figurine, collectible" and remove any "photorealistic" keywords from prompt.
Problem: Colors are dull or muddy
Fix: Specify "vibrant colors, glossy finish, studio lighting" and use "flat colors, dull, desaturated" in negative prompt.
Problem: Background is messy
Fix: Always include "clean white background" or "simple gradient background" in your positive prompt.
Problem: Proportions look wrong
Fix: Specify scale (1/7 or 1/8) and mention "proper toy figurine proportions" for consistent results.
Problem: Too much or too little glossiness
Fix: Separately specify finishes: "glossy hair and eyes, matte skin, semi-gloss clothing" for balanced look.
Remember: 3D figurine generation works best with clear selfies and specific texture/lighting instructions. Test multiple prompt variations to find your signature style.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about 3D figurine portrait generation
Upload 2-3 clear photos from different angles (front and 3/4 view work best). In your prompt, include 'maintain exact facial features, keep original identity' and enable the 'Keep identity' mode if available. Avoid heavy makeup, sunglasses, or busy backgrounds in source photos for best results.
Realistic figurines aim for detailed, collector-quality features with proper proportions and subtle paint gradients. Anime-style figurines use chibi proportions (oversized head, small body), large expressive eyes, and vibrant colors. Choose your style based on your target platform — realistic for collectors, anime for viral social media content.
Yes! Use our 'Boxed Product Display' prompt template to generate figurines that appear packaged in collector's boxes with clear windows. This is perfect for merchandise mockups, product visualization, or creating realistic collectible presentations without physical production.
For social media (Instagram, Twitter), use JPG format at 85-95% quality for vibrant colors and smaller file sizes. Export square 1:1 (1080×1080) for avatars or vertical 4:5 (1080×1350) for posts. For printing on merchandise or posters, use PNG format at maximum resolution with portrait 4:5 ratio (1920×2400) to preserve all glossy highlight details.
