In today’s creative industry, 3D modeling and printing technology have opened the door to endless possibilities. From gaming to collectibles, designers can now create life-like figurines of people, celebrities, or even digital characters. The image above is an excellent example of how a digital 3D model can be transformed into a realistic figurine complete with packaging.
Step 1: 3D Modeling the Character
The process begins in a 3D software (like Blender, Maya, or ZBrush) where the character is first sculpted in detail.
-
A wireframe model is built to capture the proportions.
-
The textures and colors are applied to make the figure more realistic.
-
Accessories such as sunglasses, belts, or clothing folds are carefully designed.
Step 2: Printing the Figurine
After completing the digital version, the model is exported for 3D printing.
-
High-quality printers use resin or plastic to bring the model to life.
-
The figurine is then polished and painted to achieve a realistic finish.
Step 3: Designing the Packaging
No figurine feels complete without collector-style packaging.
-
Designers create a box design that matches the theme.
-
The packaging includes printed images of the figurine, logos, and branding elements.
-
A transparent window or illustration enhances the collector’s appeal.
Step 4: Photography Setup
The final product is placed in a real-world environment for photography.
-
A desk setup with a computer screen displaying the 3D modeling process adds context.
-
The figurine is placed on a round acrylic base to make it stand out.
-
The box packaging is positioned nearby to complete the commercial look.

Prompt:
Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters 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. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations
