Indie Game Development with 3D AI Studio: From Assets to Marketing

Creating a game as an indie developer requires wearing many hats - from 3D modeling to marketing. This comprehensive guide will show you how to use 3D AI Studio to handle everything from asset creation to promotional materials, significantly reducing your development time and costs.

Part 1: Creating Your Game Assets

Let's start with the foundation - generating your game's 3D assets. Visit 3D AI Studio to begin your asset creation journey.

Character Creation

Characters are often the most challenging assets to create. Using our Text to 3D tool, you can generate base characters quickly:

Pro Tips for Character Generation:

• Include style references in your prompts (e.g., "low-poly", "stylized")
• Specify pose and equipment
• Consider character scale for your game

Example prompt: "A stylized warrior character in T-pose, low-poly style, suitable for mobile games, wearing light armor with a sword on back"

Environmental Props

For props and environment pieces, our Image to 3D tool excels:

Workflow for prop creation:

1. Design or find reference images
2. Upload to Image to 3D
3. Generate and refine
4. Export for game engine

Texture Enhancement

High-quality textures are crucial for game assets. Our Texture Generation tool can create PBR-ready textures:

Key texture settings for games:

• Resolution: 1024x1024 for main assets
• PBR maps included
• Optimized for performance

Part 2: Custom Style Training

This is where 3D AI Studio truly shines for indie developers. You can train custom models to match your game's unique style.

Training Your Style Model
