Write a prompt that works

Name one thing, and say its colours and what it's made of.

The sentence you type is the whole brief. A short, specific description of one object gives Hewly the best chance of building what you pictured.

Step by step

  1. Name one subject: a ceramic owl, not an owl on a branch next to a lantern. One subject per model works best.
  2. Say its colours and what it's made of: a red ceramic owl with gold eyes.
  3. Then pick what it is on the page: Character, Item or Environment.
  4. Going to print it? Ask for a solid pose — arms close to the body, nothing thin sticking out.
  5. Stuck for words? Tap Suggest for a prompt to start from.
  6. Not sure how it should look? Tick Show me 4 pictures first (8 credits) and choose before the 3D part.
