# Build your world from the real one.

A vest, a hat, a pair of goggles. Turn visual references into individual 3D props and give your prototype its own vocabulary.

## One character reference. Several props.

A costume contains more than one idea. Separate its vest, hat and goggles to study their volumes as independent objects. Use them to establish a visual direction before refining topology, textures and in-engine behavior.

Goggles

-   Find a shared visual language for props.
-   Try silhouettes and scale in a prototype.
-   Keep scene composition separate from final optimization.

## From your photo to your project.

1.  ### Collect your references.
    
    Photograph objects whose shape, material or history belongs in your world.
    
2.  ### Extract your props.
    
    Select each object and reconstruct it separately so you can place and reuse it independently.
    
3.  ### Prepare for your engine.
    
    Check topology, scale, pivot, materials and collisions. Test performance in the scene where the asset will actually be used.

## Before you begin.

**What can I create for my game?**

Turn your photos into props, decorative pieces and objects for your worlds. Try out a visual direction and build up a collection of assets for your prototypes.

**How do I bring an object into my project?**

Download the GLB file and import it into a compatible 3D tool. Adapt its scale, materials and level of detail to your game, then place it in your scene.

**Can I get several props from one reference?**

Yes. Select each object separately, then generate the props you want. A single photo can become the starting point for several creations.

## Your projects, connected to your tools.

List GLB asset metadata for your own catalog.

Included with Studio and Scale.
