The latest AI trend that has captured the attention of social media users, especially youth, is Google's Nano Banana, a feature within the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model. This tool allows users to transform a simple photo into a hyper-realistic 3D figurine, complete with detailed textures and lifelike poses. Whether it’s a selfie, a pet, or a favorite character, Nano Banana can render it into a miniature collectible-style figure.
Nano Banana is an AI-powered image generation tool developed by Google. It leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to convert 2D images into 3D models. The process involves analyzing the uploaded photo to detect facial features, pose, and depth, then rendering a 3D figurine that mimics the original image's details. The result is a miniature figure that appears as though it's been sculpted and placed on a display base, often accompanied by a toy box or a 3D modeling interface in the background.
Navigate to the official Google Gemini website or open the Gemini app on your device. Ensure you're using the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model, as Nano Banana is integrated within this version.
Choose a clear, well-lit photo of yourself, your pet, or any subject you wish to transform. For optimal results, select a full-body shot with the subject facing the camera. Upload this image to the Gemini platform.
In the prompt section, enter a detailed description to guide the AI in generating the figurine. A commonly used prompt is:
A prompt is a text instruction or description given to the AI to tell it exactly what to create. In Nano Banana, a prompt guides the AI to generate the 3D figurine with specific details like pose, environment, style, and props. The more detailed the prompt, the more accurate and visually appealing the result.
Here’s a commonly used prompt for creating a 3D figurine with Nano Banana:
"Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the character in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork."
Using this prompt, the AI can transform any uploaded photo into a detailed and visually stunning 3D figurine.
Click on the "Create" or "Generate" button. Within moments, Nano Banana will process the photo and prompt, producing a 3D figurine image that matches your description.
Once the image is generated, you can download it to your device. These images are perfect for sharing on social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, allowing you to showcase your personalized 3D figurine to friends and followers.
