# 3D, textures and worlds

> Turn images into 3D assets, prepare them for production and build textures and worlds.

What you will learn:

- Make a 3D model from text, one image or several views
- Clean, texture, rig and animate a mesh
- Split a model for 3D printing and make it light for a game
- Build worlds, materials and skies, and pick the right model for each task

## Lessons

### Get started with 3D

- [Make your first 3D model from text](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/3d-on-scenario.md): Open 3D, choose a text to 3D model, set texture, PBR and face limit, write the prompt, generate, inspect the model in the viewer and download it. (updated 2026-11-10)
- [Turn an image into a 3D model](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/image-to-3d.md): Prepare a front image in an A-pose or a T-pose, add it to an image to 3D model, check the settings, generate, and inspect the back and the wireframe. (updated 2026-11-10)
- [Turn several views into a 3D model](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/multi-view-and-parts.md): Make four matching views with an image editor or a turnaround workflow, add them to a multi view model, generate, and compare the back with a single image result. (updated 2026-11-10)

### Production-ready 3D

- [Process your 3D model](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/process-3d-models.md): Remesh, UV unwrap and texture a 3D model in one run: retopology from about 800,000 triangles to under 5,000 faces, UV unwrapping into larger islands, then retexture with the original image or a new reference. (updated 2026-11-10)
- [Rig and animate your 3D model](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/rig-and-animate-3d.md): Rigging and animation for a 3D character: compare the rigging models (Rodin, Cartwheel, Uthana, Tripo, Meshy), rig with Rodin Hyper3D Rigging, then generate motion from text or from a video. (updated 2026-11-10)
- [Claude Opus 5.5 3D and GPT-6 Astra 3D](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/opus-and-astra-3d.md): Open Claude Opus 5.5 3D, set Effort, polycount limit, output format and topology, build from a prompt or reference images, rig characters and props, and edit an existing 3D file. (updated 2026-11-10)
- [Split a 3D model and get it ready to print](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/split-and-3d-print.md): Compare Tripo Segmentation, Hunyuan 3D Part and Rodin Bang! on the same mesh, then prepare a model for 3D printing with Hitem3D Split and Hitem3D Multicolor. (updated 2026-11-10)
- [Make game-ready 3D models: low poly, voxel and LODs](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/game-ready-3d.md): Make light game models: Tripo P2 and Meshy Smart Topology at a 3,000 face target, Smart Low Poly, Tripo Retopology v3, voxels with Tripo Stylization and Voxel Crafter, and an LOD chain with Claude Opus 5.5 3D. (updated 2026-11-10)
- [Bring your 3D model into Blender, Unity and Unreal](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/export-3d-to-engines-and-dcc.md): Import a rigged GLB and its FBX version into Blender, Unity and Unreal Engine, and fix what breaks: textures, pivots, axes, clip names, root motion and bone names. (updated 2026-11-11)

### Worlds and surfaces

- [Build 3D worlds and Gaussian splats](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/3d-worlds-and-splats.md): Build Gaussian splat worlds from a prompt, an image, a 360 panorama or a video with Marble and HY World, make a splat of one object with TripoSplat or Idol, then export and use them. (updated 2026-11-11)
- [Seamless textures and PBR materials](https://learn.scenario.com/textures/seamless-textures.md): Make a seamless tile with Scenario Texture and check it, upscale it, make a full PBR material with PATINA, learn what each map does, and connect the maps in Blender. (updated 2026-11-11)
- [Skyboxes and 360 panoramas](https://learn.scenario.com/textures/skyboxes-and-360.md): Make a 360 panorama from text or from one image, check the seam, restyle and upscale it, export cubemap faces and HDR for lighting, and turn it into a pan or orbit video. (updated 2026-11-11)

### Pick the right model

- [Pick the right 3D model for each task](https://learn.scenario.com/3d/choose-a-3d-model.md): A decision table for every task in the 3D course: create, process, animate, split, edit, worlds, textures and skies, with the recommended model, a typical cost in credits and a typical time.
