Sharing additional thoughts on #StableDiffusion to create #gaming content & #game assets 🧵

My last exploration was on golems; this one is with "Space Marines-like" heavy infantry.

This was a fun creation with lots of learnings 👨‍💻. Feel free to like/RT if you find it useful 🚀
1/ First (as mentioned before - ) > curate a training dataset (such as pictures of figurines) to feed a #Dreambooth finetune.

Once the model is ready, compare different generic prompts (e.g. "low-poly," "3D rendering“, "ultra-detailed," "pixel art," etc.)
2/ Once a prompt looks good, keep the modifiers (in this case: "3D rendering, highly detailed, trending on Artstation").

And start iterating around variations, such as colors (or pose). Don't over-engineer it, to keep the consistency. You should get this:
3/ A broader view of the red, blue, gold and green battalions :)
4/ Now you can get creative and add more colors (I just prompted "rainbow space marine, colorful" in the set below)
5/ It's not just about colors. The look or style of the models can be altered with other modifiers.

Such as "a dark Halloween zombie space marine". Now all the models have been zombified 🧟‍♂️💀🧟‍♀️. They could also melt or glow in the dark.
6/ I randomly found that one of the soldiers looked like a baby, so I prompted "a cute baby space marine" and made everyone look younger, in seconds:
7/ Because the shape/silhouette of the "baby space marine" was interesting, I kept it and used #img2img to generate pixel art variations, in different colors:
8/ img2img is very powerful when combined with Dreambooth. I went back to my previous tweet (link - ), and selected a "cyclopean golem", to resembling space soldiers, like this
9/ Same story below, but with a different (white) golem.
Also, I added "no gun" as a negative prompt. None of the soldiers has the machine gun they held before.
10/ As a bonus, you can have more fun with your finetune and generate other storytelling visuals.

For example, "urban warfare background" or "a group of space marines dancing in a night club"
11/ Or even find the image of a tank and then run #img2img to generate tank-like space robots/creatures 🪖
12/ I'm hoping this somehow demonstrates the power of having your own "finetune(s)"

Training lets you iterate around a specific concept, style, or object. You get consistent results, faster, and possibly using your training data. No more endless random prompting. What else? :)
end/ I've had some great discussions about it with the gaming community (artists or studios) over the past few days. If you have questions or would like to have a chat, please comment or DM me; happy to connect with innovative game creators.

(11/06 update) - I've done a similar pass on a dwarf character set. Check it out.

All these seamless, game-ready materials (including PBR maps) were fully generated with AI.

... then automatically arranged in Blender using @ManusAI_HQ.

More details in the thread! 👇
I created 16 seamless textures using app.scenario.com (@Scenario_gg).

You can check the detailed workflow + all available texture tools right here: x.com/emmanuel_2m/st… Image
Once the textures were generated, I dropped the 16 .zip files (including the texture set with PBR maps) into @ManusAI_HQ.

And prompted Manus to create a Blender file (.blend) with all the textures, nicely arranged in a circle.

In just a few minutes, the file was ready with animated, rotating spheres.Image

From multiple consistent objects within a single image to fully recreated 3D objects in Blender.

100% AI-generated.

Workflow detailed below 👇
Step 1/

Generate a grid of 6 consistent objects. For this, I used @Scenario_gg with the "Juicy Icons" model, which consistently creates cartoon-style, simplified 3D icons arranged in a grid.

Available on app.scenario.com/models/model_b…Image
Step 2/

More specifically, I used image-to-image generation combined with a quick sketch to guide the colors and positions of each object. Image

Unity MCP, let's goooo! 🚀

Absolutely loving that this is happening during GDC week 😅. My schedule's packed with meetings & meetups, so not much time to vibe code, but I spun up a basic demo for a platformer jumping game, in minutes.

This was fully prompted via Claude 3.7 (on the left), zero manual tweaks. Link below 👇 and I'll keep sharing improvements and tips!

2025 is going to be a wild year for AI-powered game devs.
I used @JustinPBarnett's MCP on Github - check it out here

So far, it feels even easier than Blender, and I can’t wait to add more actions, assets, textures, and gameplay!github.com/justinpbarnett…
My main tip so far is that, just like with Blender MCP, you should proceed step by step >> one edit or element at a time.

Otherwise, Claude will go crazy and wil try doing everything at once (and fail).

How I generated a high quality 3D model in Blender, from a simple 2D image, using Claude 3.7!

Screen capture + link + step-by-step process below👇
First, you'll need Blender + a Blender MCP. For this project, I used @VisionaryxAI 's MCP available on Github.

See

The install steps are simple and explained on the Github page.github.com/VxASI/blender-…
Feed an image to Claude (or Cursor) - I selected a simple isometric scene initially made with a custom model on @Scenario_gg .

The custom model is "Blocky Elements" and typically creates minimalist 3D render-style images ➡️ a relevant model to use for this case.

Continuing from my last threads, and sharing how to create character turnarounds with the highest consistency ✨ for:

- style ✅
- pose ✅
- character ✅

... using the #Scenario toolset to maintain all key details.

Follow the steps below 👇 - no pencil needed ✏️. Let's dive in!
⚠️ First: it's not a 'one-click-and-done' process but instead a multi-step workflow, to be tailored to your creative goals.

Second: it ensures full creative control and deliberate designs from start to finish. Randomness or chance are sidelined.

To illustrate it, I revisited 2 characters I designed five months ago: the "girl with pink hair" (), and the "sorceress with a blue hat" ()

The other 2 turnarounds ("zombie" & "ninja") had some attention yesterday with 2M+ views ()

Image
Here are the key steps to creating stunning turnaround, using #Scenario ()

1/ Train or pick a character model (A).

2/ Optionaly>, pick a style model (B). Use it to create training images for (A), or you can merge both (A + B = C) for example.

3/ Utilize the custom model (A or C) to generate consistent characters. Then select a reference image to produce initial character turnarounds in your desired poses.

4/ Refine these initial outputs using Sketching and image2image.

5/ Select the best result and refine details in the Canvas for maximum consistency.

6/ Finally, upscale your final image (up to 8K resolution.)

Designing ultra-consistent and virtually unlimited game characters in minutes with #Scenario.

Keeping it super short 😅 — because it's actually super fast🤗.

1/ Select your model.

You can choose from our selection of 170+ game art models on

Or, train your own to better fit your style.

I trained this model with only 12 images, originally generated using @artificialguybr's '3D Render Style' 🙏

Note: I'm intentionally training with consistent poses.

Spoiler alert 🚨: Next week, you'll be able to #upload your own models to Scenario! 🫣app.scenario.comImage
2/ Create consistent prompts.

It's best to maintain a similar structure between your prompts and captions.

I asked ChatGPT to use a format based on race, weapon, and outfit, with 50 initial prompts below👇👇.

Adjust as needed.Image
