Not one of these 9? Just describe it.

The 9 object types above are fixed templates — but the same AI model behind them can generate almost anything from a text description. A few ideas to try:

Illustration of a plant pot

Plant pot

A planter is just a hollow vessel with drainage — well within what text-to-3D handles cleanly.

“A friendly elephant-shaped planter pot with a short trunk and small ears, hollow inside for soil, no saucer or extra props”

What text-to-3D is good at — and where it struggles

Strong use cases

Characters & creatures

Characters & creatures

Humanoids, fantasy monsters, animals, stylized game/anime characters.

Props & objects

Props & objects

Furniture, tools, everyday items, plant pots, containers.

Environment pieces

Environment pieces

Rocks, ruins, terrain chunks, architectural fragments.

Stylized / game assets

Stylized / game assets

Low-poly or hand-painted style props for games.

Decorative items

Decorative items

Vases, statues, ornaments, jewelry-like objects.

Trickier / better suited elsewhere

Precise mechanical parts

Precise mechanical parts

Gears, brackets, anything needing exact tolerances — better suited to CAD design.

Fine text or logos

Fine text or logos

Small lettering and flat icons tend to distort or blur in 3D.

Complex functional structures

Complex functional structures

Hinges, interlocking mechanisms, hollow cavities with fitted lids.

Multiple objects in one prompt

Multiple objects in one prompt

Works best describing one object per generation, not a whole scene.

One object per prompt works best — for a precise mechanical part, our CAD design service is a better fit than AI generation.
