Geometry defines the shape. Textures define the surface. Choose the settings that fit what you want to make.

For checking the shape or adding your own materials later.
Generates the mesh without texture or PBR materials. The neutral surface here represents an untextured model, not a separate white-material preset.

For a first textured draft and everyday concept exploration.
Adds color and material information to standard geometry. A useful starting point before deciding whether your project needs a texture or geometry upgrade.

For projects where surface patterns and close-up materials matter.
Requests higher-resolution textures while keeping the standard geometry setting. This changes surface detail settings; it does not request more detailed geometry.

For exploring both texture detail and more complex object shapes.
Requests detailed textures and detailed geometry together. Results still depend on your input; this setting does not guarantee accurate hidden surfaces, clean topology, or a production-ready asset.

Geometry is the three-dimensional mesh: the outline, curves, thickness, and physical form of an object. You can inspect it from different angles.
Detailed geometry requests a higher geometry quality setting. It does not guarantee a particular polygon count or repair missing information in your reference.
Textures supply surface information such as colors and patterns. PBR materials describe how surfaces respond to lighting.
HD texture requests higher-resolution textures. A sharper surface pattern does not by itself add detail to the underlying mesh.
Start with Standard to evaluate both shape and appearance. Check the result before spending credits on an upgrade.
Choose Geometry only when you plan to texture or shade the model yourself. It uses the fewest credits.
Try HD texture for surface patterns. Choose HD texture + detailed geometry when the form itself also needs more detail.
Inspect the HD mecha model or the Standard penguin model alongside its input. These examples use different illustrations.
Rotate your first model until you can see its silhouette. If a chair leg is missing, check whether the leg is visible in the reference. Try a wider frame or supply a second view. HD texture changes surface detail and uses the same geometry setting as Standard.
If the shape looks right but the fabric pattern looks blurry, zoom in on the original photo. When the weave is visible there, try HD texture and compare the same area on both models at the same zoom.

Changing a setting costs nothing. A new generation reserves the displayed credits; they are charged on success and returned on a confirmed failure. Paid access is not open yet.
No. HD texture keeps the standard geometry setting. Select HD texture + detailed geometry to request both upgrades.
No. Clear input, visible object boundaries, and useful views still matter. Higher settings cannot guarantee a faithful reconstruction, and may produce a result that still needs editing.
The current Studio starts a new generation when you choose a different quality and click Generate. It costs the displayed credits again; an in-place upgrade tool is not available.
An untextured mesh is not automatically printable. Check scale, wall thickness, watertightness, and geometry in your modeling or slicing software before printing.
No. They are explanatory drawings. We have not published a verified comparison using the same input across all four qualities. Existing homepage sample models demonstrate the viewer and are not evidence of generated quality.
Explore the settings in Studio without signing in. Generation requires credits and enabled access.
