How to Create a Texture from an Image
In addition to generating textures from text prompts, Polycam’s AI Texture Generator allows you to upload an image to create a custom 3D texture file.
-
Access the Upload Feature: Visit Polycam’s AI Texture Generator and locate the image upload section.
-
Upload Your Image: Click on the Upload Image button and select the image file from your device that you want to use as a basis for your texture.
-
Adjust 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.
-
Generate 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.
- Download 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 AI prompts to exclude specific elements or characteristics from your results. This technique helps tailor the output more precisely to your needs.
-
Understand 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.
-
Formulate 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.”
-
Generate and Review: Click the Generate 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 AI Texture Generator offers various resolution options to suit different project requirements. Adjusting the resolution allows you to balance between detail and file size. Here’s how to select the resolution that best fits your needs
-
Access Resolution Settings: Navigate to the resolution settings section on the right-hand side of the AI generation page
-
Choose 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.
