Help & tutorials

Short, hands-on guides. Each one names the exact buttons to tap. Some have a short video, and Show me opens the page and points at each control in turn. On any page, the ? button at the bottom of the menu does the same.

Start here

• Make your first 3D model — Type an idea, get a textured 3D model. 30 credits — you start with 100.
• Look all around your model — Turn it, zoom in, and check the mesh and the paint.
• How credits work — You start with 100 free credits, and get more every month.

Make a model

• Pick from 4 pictures first — See 4 drawings of your idea for 8 credits, then build only the one you like.
• Write a prompt that works — Name one thing, and say its colours and what it's made of.
• Turn a photo into 3D — One clear photo becomes a 3D model. 30 credits.
• Check the shape before paying for paint — A grey shape for 20 credits; paint it for 10 more only if you like it.

Change a model

• Change just one part — Paint over an area and say what it becomes — the rest stays exactly as it is. 10 credits.
• Give the whole model a new look — Same shape, new paint, from a description. 10 credits.
• Resize, simplify and more — Real-world size, fewer triangles, fresh UVs — under Do more with this model.

3D printing

• Print it at the size you want — STL or 3MF in millimetres, with a stand if you want one. Free.

Use it anywhere

• Download, share and publish — Files for games, 3D apps and printers — free, as often as you like.
• GLB, FBX, STL or 3MF: which file? — Which download to pick for websites, game engines, 3D apps and 3D printers. Downloads are free.
• Make 2D pictures — Concept art, icons and references from a description. 2 credits a picture.
