Getting the Right Image Prompt

Writing effective prompts for text-to-image tools like CSM’s Text to Image, Midjourney, or ChatGPT can be challenging. Here are key tips to help you generate high-quality images optimized for Image to 3D:

Game Assets

When creating stylized props or characters for game engines, images often look flat. Use keywords like:

• 3D asset of a… to achieve greater depth.

• Game asset of a… for clear, game-ready visuals.

Stylized or Lowpoly Assets

To generate cartoon-like or simplified objects, include phrases such as:

• Lowpoly asset of a…

• Lowpoly game asset of a…

• A low-poly game asset illustration of a…

Getting Clear Angles

For optimal results, specify clear and readable angles to ensure the best mesh quality. Useful keywords include:

• Front view

• ¾ view or Quarter view

• Isometric View

• Back view

Object Parts on a Sheet

ChatGPT excels at generating images with separated parts, useful for assembly in 3D:

• …with all parts laid on a sheet for Image to 3D.

• …create all major parts on a sheet, for Image to 3D-based assembly, I want it in 3D, no spurious parts, only major components.

Specify angles for parts to improve depth perception:

• The cylinder should be at a slight angle for better 3D mesh generation.

Images with Solid Backgrounds

Use clean backgrounds to isolate your object clearly. Helpful phrases include:

• …on a white background

• …on a black background

• …on a solid color background
