A new trend has taken over social media, allowing users to create stunning 3D models of themselves using Google's innovative Gemini 2.5 Flash model, known as Nano Banana. Launched to the public just last month, this cutting-edge tool has received widespread acclaim for its ability to generate intricate images from simple natural language prompts. Unlike OpenAI's ChatGPT, which can take several minutes to produce images, Nano Banana delivers results in mere seconds. Additionally, it excels in creating photorealistic visuals and offers impressive editing capabilities, such as spot removal, color adjustments, and element alterations, all while maintaining the integrity of the original image. Free users can generate up to 100 images daily, a significant advantage over ChatGPT, which typically allows for just 3 to 4 images before reaching its limit. As you scroll through social media, you'll likely encounter numerous photorealistic 3D versions of users, showcasing the growing popularity of this tool. If you're looking to create your own 3D model but are unsure where to start, here’s a quick guide to help you navigate the process. Begin by opening the Gemini app and selecting the Nano Banana icon. Upload your chosen image and either input a specific prompt if you have a vision in mind or choose from one of the three detailed prompts provided below to achieve your desired look: 1) "Use the supplied photo as the primary reference for face, hair, and posture. Generate a 1/7-scale, fixed-pose collectible figurine (high-quality PVC/resin look) of the subject in modern streetwear — backpack, coffee cup in hand — standing on a round transparent acrylic base (no text or logos). Position the figurine on a real wooden desktop with a widescreen monitor displaying the 3D modeling process of this very figurine. The lighting should include a warm desk lamp key, soft overhead fill, and subtle rim light; camera settings at 35mm full-frame equivalent, f/2.0 for a shallow depth of field. Render photoreal with accurate skin tones and fine details on fabric." 2) "Utilize the provided photo for precise facial likeness. Create a 1/7-scale limited edition painted figurine with a curated paint job — incorporating subtle metallic flakes in the jacket and hand-painted shading on the face. The figurine should be fixed on a clear round acrylic base (no text), placed on a desk beside a monitor showcasing the 3D modeling process. The lighting should be refined studio key plus back rim, with camera settings at 85mm crop to 16:9, f/2.8 for a soft bokeh effect. Aim for photoreal, commercial catalogue quality." 3) "Based on the uploaded photo, create a 1/7-scale collectible of the subject representing your profession: smart casual blazer over a tee, press lanyard, tiny laptop accessory. Display it on a round clear acrylic base (no text) on an office desk with a keyboard and notes. The screen should show the modeling process with a wireframe and material slots. Include a collector box featuring flat 2D editorial illustrations. Ensure neutral daylight lighting with a soft desk lamp, using 50mm, f/2.0 for crisp detail in fabric and legible lanyard text. Aim for a photoreal, editorial product shot." If you're looking to enhance your image or remove the Gemini watermark from the corner, consider using another AI tool. Simply download the Qwen app or visit the Qwen website, sign in, and start a new chat. Upload your 3D model image and provide the prompt: "Remove the Gemini logo at the bottom right and enhance the resolution while keeping all other elements exactly the same." This will help you achieve the perfect 3D model without watermarks or resolution issues.
