PROMPT 

Use a user-uploaded image as the source and convert the person into a stylized 3D character while preserving identity, facial structure, pose, hairstyle, clothing, and overall composition exactly as shown in the photo. The result should clearly resemble the real person.

The visual style is a stylized 3D character with a soft minimal cartoon 3D aesthetic, inspired by Pixar-like visuals but more minimal, toy-figure renders, and clean product-style character design. The balance should favor stylization over realism without changing the person’s real-world appearance.

Skin should appear as smooth matte plastic with a soft, uniform texture and gentle subsurface scattering. Facial features should remain faithful to the original image while being simplified in form. The expression should stay neutral and natural to the source photo.

Lighting should be clean and controlled, similar to a studio softbox setup, with very soft shadows, low contrast, and subtle highlights. The background should be a solid [BACKGROUND COLOR] with no gradient.

The camera should feel front-facing with a medium close-up framing, similar to a 50mm lens, with no distortion. Output quality should be high resolution with clean edges, no noise, strong style consistency, and a clearly non-photorealistic finish

IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

  • Use a more explicit placeholder like {background_color} and document it as a template parameter.
  • Add exact output resolution, e.g., 'Output at 1024x1024 pixels or higher.'
  • Specify handling for multiple people or edge cases in the image.

USAGE

Copy the prompt above and paste it into your AI of choice — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or anywhere else you're working. Replace any placeholder sections with your own context, then ask for the output.
