How to Use AI to Create Your Own Miniature Toy Models

(Dan Tri) - The article below will guide you on how to create toy model images from your own images, a trend that has been "causing a fever" in the online community in recent days.

In recent days, a trend that has been "causing a fever" on social networks in Vietnam is creating 3D toy models from your own images.

With this trend, the AI ​​tool will rely on images provided by users to create a model image that is exactly like a real person, but with a compact scale of a toy. Users can then share the unique and interesting images created by AI on social networks.

To do this, users can rely on the AI ​​Nano Banana tool developed by Google.

Nano Banana, officially known as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, is a new artificial intelligence model introduced by Google at the end of August. This is an AI tool that specializes in recognizing, processing, editing images or creating images from user-described text.

Nano Banana's processing is fast, can understand user requests in many different languages, the results are realistic and not cartoonish or AI-style like other tools.

Nano Banana is considered by the technology community to be the smartest AI photo editing and creation tool today.

How to use Gemini to turn your photos into toy models

Nano Banana is now integrated into Google's Gemini AI tool. To use Gemini AI tool to turn your photos into toy models, you can follow these steps:

- First, access Google's Gemini AI tool here.

Click the “Sign In” button in the upper right corner, log in to your Gmail account to start using.

- At the chat box interface, click the “+” icon, select “Upload file”, then select the image you want to turn into a toy model.

You should choose a full body image, rather than a portrait or half-body image, to create a complete toy model image.

After attaching the image, click on the “Image” tool in the menu below to use Gemini's image creation function, then paste the following Vietnamese command into the chat box and press Enter:

“Create a collectible figure from a photo I provided. The person in the photo is placed in a luxury display box, with a dark background and studio lighting. The box is surrounded by illustrations and interchangeable accessories (hands, shoes, face). The style is similar to a high-end toy box.”

Wait a moment, Gemini will generate a toy box image from the character you selected.

If you are not satisfied with the generated result, you can continue typing the command “I am still not satisfied with the result, please create another image for me” to ask Gemini to create a new image.

If you are satisfied with the results Gemini produces, click the down arrow to download the image to your device.

In case you want to create a toy box in a different style, after attaching the image you want to create a toy model, paste the following command into the chat box and press Enter:

“Create a 1/7 scale toy character model from the illustration, in a realistic style and setting. Place the model on a table, in front of a computer monitor, using a circular, clear acrylic base with no text. Show the Z-Brush process of the model on the computer monitor. Next to the computer monitor, place a BANDAI-style toy box printed with the original illustration.”

Based on the new request, Gemini will create for you a toy model and a completely different scene than the above request.

When you want to use Gemini to process a new image, click on the “New Conversation” option in the left menu to restart Gemini, avoiding being affected by previous commands and requests.

Note

When you use a personal photo to ask AI to create a new image, your face may be used as training data for artificial intelligence systems. So if you don't want this to happen, think carefully before sharing photos with AI tools.
