Transform Your Photos Into Realistic 3D Figurines Using Google's Nano Banana AI

Google's latest AI innovation is capturing attention across the tech world. The Nano Banana AI image model is exploding in popularity for its remarkable ability to produce realistic 3D figurines. Users are turning everyday photos into commercial-quality collectibles set in authentic environments.

This tool lets you upload pictures of people, pets, or even objects and transform them into detailed 3D renders. Best of all, it's available at no cost. Let's dive into what makes this AI special and how you can start creating your own figurines today.

Understanding Nano Banana AI

Nano Banana is Google's fun moniker for its advanced Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model. It excels in generating and editing images with impressive consistency. Recently integrated into platforms like X (formerly Twitter), it allows users to tag @NanoBanana for quick edits and creations.

What sets it apart is its top ranking on image leaderboards for tasks like photo editing. Over 200 million images have been edited since its launch, drawing in millions of new users to the Gemini app. For 3D figurines, it uses clever prompts to simulate lifelike models in real settings.

Step-by-Step Guide To Creating Your 3D Figurine

Getting started is straightforward. You can use this on your phone or computer without any special software.

• First, navigate to the Gemini website or open the Gemini app on your Android or iPhone. Alternatively, visit Google AI Studio in your web browser for the same functionality.
• Once there, locate the Tools section and choose 'Create images.' This opens up the interface for generating visuals.
• Next, find the upload button marked with a '+' and add your chosen image. It could be a photo of a person, your pet, or an object you want to see as a figurine.
  
• Now, copy and paste this exact prompt into the input field:

Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations.

• Hit Submit, and watch as Nano Banana processes your request. In moments, you'll have a realistic 3D figurine based on your upload.
  

Tips for Best Results and Alternatives

The process is lightning-fast and doesn't require a Gemini subscription. If you run into issues with image generation on Gemini, switch to Google AI Studio. It's equally free and reliable.

Experiment with different photos to see how the AI handles various subjects. The results often look like high-end collectibles, complete with packaging and a desk setup.

If you're on X, try tagging @NanoBanana for other image tasks, like creating infographics or editing multiple photos together.
