File → Import → glTF 2.0 (.glb)(or.objif you exported that). - Navigate to your saved 3D model (
AI_Figurines/3D Models). - Click Import → Your figurine will appear in the 3D viewport.
🟢 Step 3: Basic Cleanup
- Sometimes AI models have extra geometry or floating parts.
- Use Edit Mode (
Tabkey) to select and remove unwanted vertices. - Use Sculpt Mode to adjust rough edges or reshape the model.
- Smooth surfaces using the Smooth Brush in Sculpt Mode.
🟢 Step 4: Posing Your Figurine
- Switch to Pose Mode for humanoid characters.
- Rotate limbs, head, or body to make a dynamic stance.
- Add a base platform (cube or cylinder) to make it look like a collectible figurine.

- Adjust:
- Base Color (primary color of your figurine)
- Metallic / Roughness (for realistic or toy-like effect)

💡 Tip: Use Glossy Material for a collectible toy look or Matte Material for realistic renders.
🟢 Step 6: Lighting & Rendering

- Position the camera for a front, angled, or dynamic view.
- Render the scene:
Render → Render Image (F12). - Save your render:
Image → Save As(PNG/JPG).
🟢 Step 7: Export for 3D Printing or Sharing

File → Export → STL (.stl) - For online viewing →
File → Export → glTF 2.0 (.glb) - Upload to Sketchfab or other 3D galleries.
