How to Generate AI Images in Neural4D Studio

What does Image Generation do?

Image Generation creates a 2D image from a written prompt in Neural4D Studio. You can upload a reference image as an additional input, but a text prompt is still required. Download the result as a .png file, or use it as input for Image to 3D. Generating an image does not create a 3D model automatically.

The available models include GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2 Lite, Seedream 4.5, and Flux 2 Pro. Choose a model in the Image Generator before submitting your task.

Which image model should I try?

Start with the model that fits your prompt, then compare outputs using the same description. These are starting points, not guarantees about the result.

Model options and settings may change. Check the current model picker in Studio before following a preset workflow.

How do I generate my first image?

Follow these steps in Neural4D Studio:

• Step 1: Open Image Generator. Sign in, then open the Image Generator in Studio.
• Step 2: Write a prompt. Describe the subject and the details that matter most, such as composition, material, lighting, and camera angle. For example: "Matte white ceramic vase on a wooden table, soft studio lighting, front view." You may also upload a reference image, but you still need a text prompt.
• Step 3: Choose a model and settings. Select a model, an aspect ratio, and any resolution or image-count options available for that model. Review the Credits shown before you submit the task.
• Step 4: Set visibility. Choose Public or Private before generating. Public results may appear in the Community. Private results are available to paid subscribers; free users generate publicly.
• Step 5: Generate and review. Click Generate Image. If the result misses your goal, adjust the prompt or reference image and generate again. Download the selected result as a .png file, or continue to Image to 3D.

Studio overview video

This short video introduces image and video creation in Neural4D Studio. Use the written steps above for the Image Generator workflow and current settings.

How should I choose image settings?

Choose an aspect ratio for where the image will be used. The Image Generator currently describes these presets:

• 1:1: Square images for product tiles or profile graphics.
• 16:9: Wide images for banners or video thumbnails.
• 9:16: Vertical images for mobile-first layouts.
• 4:3: Landscape images for articles or presentations.

Where available, choose a lower resolution for drafts and a higher resolution when you need more detail. Higher settings may use more Credits. The available ratios, resolution tiers, and image counts can vary by model, so follow the controls shown in Studio. Downloaded images use .png format. Check dimensions and color requirements separately before using an image for print.

Can I use a generated image for 3D or video?

Yes. You can send a generated image to Image to 3D, or use an image as a reference in Video Generation. Each tool starts a separate generation task.

Converting Images to 3D Models

Select a generated image and use Generate 3D to continue in Image to 3D. Review the 3D settings before starting the new task. For detailed instructions, refer to the How to Use the Image to 3D Feature guide.

If you plan to print the model, inspect the finished geometry and export an .stl file for your slicer. Image Generation itself only produces a 2D image.

Converting Images to AI Videos

Open Video Generation and add the image as a reference. Enter a text prompt describing the movement or camera motion you want, then start a video generation task. A reference image alone cannot start video generation. For more guidance, see the How to Use Text to Video tutorial.

What usage rights and visibility settings apply?

According to the Pricing page, paid subscribers own the content they generate and may use it commercially. Content generated on the Free plan enters the public domain. N4D asks that you credit N4D in the description of a commercial page where you use that content.

Visibility is a separate choice. Public generations may appear in the Neural4D Community; Private generations remain visible only to you and require a paid subscription. Free users receive 50 Credits each week and generate with Public visibility.
