Best Practices

Material Generation

  • Be specific with descriptions: "worn leather with scratches" vs just "leather"
  • Combine keywords for complex materials: "glossy blue metallic"
  • Use presets as starting points, then customize

Natural Language Modeling

  • Start simple, add details incrementally
  • Use specific measurements when size matters
  • Combine with material generation for complete objects

Scene Analysis

  • Run analysis after major changes
  • Address highest-impact suggestions first
  • Re-analyze to verify improvements

Auto-Rigging

  • Ensure mesh is in T-pose or A-pose for humanoid rigs
  • Check mesh proportions match expected rig type
  • Adjust weights manually for fine control after auto-rig

Integration Examples

Complete Workflow: Character Setup

1. "Create a humanoid character mesh"
2. "Auto-rig the character with humanoid skeleton"
3. "Add IK controls to all limbs"
4. "Generate a skin-like material for the character"
5. "Set up studio lighting"
6. "Analyze the scene for improvements"

Quick Product Visualization

1. "Create a cylinder for my product base"
2. "Generate a glossy white plastic material"
3. "Set up product lighting"
4. "Take a viewport screenshot"

Environment Setup

1. "Create a wooden table"
2. "Add 4 simple chairs around the table"
3. "Generate a wooden floor material"
4. "Set up soft ambient lighting"
5. "Analyze composition and adjust"
