Transform into a cute 3D clay figure with rich plasticine textures and stop-motion charm


šŸš€ Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1: Select and upload a high-quality selfie or portrait. The AI works best when the face is clearly lit and looking towards the camera.

Step 2: Our advanced AI model analyzes your facial contours, skin tone, and hair, and converts them into the iconic soft plasticine claymation art style.

Step 3: Your clay avatar is ready! Download the high-resolution image, share it with friends, or order it printed on custom t-shirts or posters.


šŸ’” Tips for the Best Results
* Clear Lighting: Make sure your original photo is bright and clear. Side shadows can sometimes distort the output.
* Front Profile: Looking directly at the camera helps the AI accurately map your facial details.
* Avoid Blur: Blurry or low-resolution images can result in less detailed stylizations.
