How to Use the 2D Texture Generator
Generate custom textures quickly and efficiently using text prompts or image uploads.
1Visit the 2D Texture Generator Tool
Go to Polycam's 2D Texture Generator
2Enter Your Prompt
Type a descriptive prompt into the text box to specify the type of texture you want to generate.
3Generate Textures
Click the button. The tool will create four unique 2D-generated textures based on your prompt.
4Download Your Textures
Once the textures are generated, you can download them for immediate use.
How to Create a Texture from an Image
In addition to generating textures from text prompts, Polycam's 2D Texture Generator allows you to upload an image to create a custom 3D texture file.
1Access the Upload Feature
Visit Polycam's 2D Texture Generator and locate the image upload section.
2Upload Your Image
Click on the button and select the image file from your device that you want to use as a basis for your texture.
3Adjust Image Strength
A higher value for image guidance will more strongly guide the output, while lower values will allow for a more creative interpretation of your prompts.
4Generate Texture
After uploading, the tool will process your image and generate a 3D texture based on its visual characteristics. You may need to adjust settings or prompts to refine the output to your preference.
5Download the Generated Texture
Once the process is complete, you can download the generated texture file for immediate use in your projects.
How to Create a Negative Prompt
To refine your texture generation process, you can use negative 2D prompts to exclude specific elements or characteristics from your results. This technique helps tailor the output more precisely to your needs.
1Understand Negative Prompts
A negative AI prompt specifies what you don't want to appear in the generated texture. For example, if you want to avoid certain colors or patterns, you can indicate these in your negative prompt.
2Formulate Your Negative Prompt
In the text box, include phrases or keywords that describe what should be excluded. For instance, if you want to generate a wood texture without any knots, you could use a prompt like, "draped cloth, no wrinkles."
3Generate and Review
Click the button to create textures based on your combined prompts. Review the results to ensure they align with your specifications and adjust your prompts if necessary.
How to Change the Texture Resolution
Polycam's 2D Texture Generator offers various resolution options to suit different project requirements. Adjusting the resolution allows you to balance between detail and file size.
1Access Resolution Settings
Navigate to the resolution settings section on the right-hand side of the AI generation page.
2Choose Your Desired Resolution
Select from the following resolution options:
- 512px: Ideal for low-detail or smaller-scale applications where file size is a concern.
- 768px: Suitable for medium-detail textures and standard use cases where a balance between quality and file size is needed.
- 1024px: Provides a higher level of detail, making it suitable for most general applications and medium-sized projects.
- 1536px: Offers enhanced detail and is great for more intricate designs or larger projects requiring higher quality.
- 2048px: Best for high-detail textures where the highest quality is essential, suitable for large-scale projects or close-up views.
