AI Create.

AI Create turns a description or a photo into a printable mesh. Type something like a chunky low-poly fox sitting and it generates the shape; add a photo instead and it builds the model from the picture. Either way the result drops straight onto the canvas as a normal model — welded, repaired, and stood upright.

Generated models arrive untextured on purpose: you paint them in Layerpaint with real filament colours, so what you see is what the printer can actually do. Printing in one colour? Skip the painting and export — it prints like any other model.

Generation runs in the cloud and takes a few minutes. Everything else about the model — painting, saving, exporting — stays the normal in-browser flow.

• The model you want doesn't exist — no STL to download, no CAD skills required.
• You have a photo of the thing — a pet, a mascot, an object on your desk.
• You want a quick base to paint — generate, then colour it with Magic Fill or AI Paint.

1. Open AI Create at the bottom of the left rail.
2. Describe the model in a sentence or two — concrete beats vague: a knight's helmet, a mug with a chunky handle. Or click Build from a photo instead and pick a JPG or PNG.
3. Click Create. A progress bar tracks the generation — it takes a few minutes. Reloading the page is fine; Layerpaint picks the run back up where it left off.
4. The model lands on the canvas upright and cleaned up for printing, with the usual rotate controls if you want a different footing.
5. Paint and export. Colour it with Magic Fill, hand it to AI Paint, stamp a Decal on it — then export a Standard 3MF.

Your first photo model and your first prompt model are free, then it's 2 AI credits each — the same credit packs AI Paint uses.

• Say the pose and the style. "Sitting", "standing", "low-poly", "chunky" — shape words steer the geometry more than colour words (colour comes later, when you paint).
• Photos work best on a single subject. One object, decent lighting, minimal clutter behind it.
• Chain it with AI Paint. Generate the shape, then let AI Paint colour it from the same photo — a model of your pet in your pet's colours.
• One colour is a fine ending. A generated model exports like any other mesh; painting is optional.
