Clay

Everything looks hand-built: soft rounded forms, matte surfaces, and the small imperfections of real modelling clay. It works best when the scene feels miniature, like a set you could pick up and hold.

When another look may fit better

  • Small features may soften or merge
  • The result is a visual simulation, not a physical clay object

in different images.

A subject and a few useful details give the Style something to work with. Look at the material, shape, or light in each example, then decide what your own image needs.

What to describe
with Clay.

A Style guides the treatment of the image. Your prompt supplies the subject, setting, action, and the details that make it yours. Start with a sentence you can picture, then add what matters.

“A red panda botanist carrying a terracotta pot through a greenhouse, morning light.”

The character, prop, place, and light come from the prompt. Clay gives those things a visual direction.

  1. Use simple rounded forms and a small-scale setting

  2. Describe fingerprints, matte clay, or soft studio light

How do you want
to begin?

You can make a new image from an idea, or take an existing image in another direction. The first result is a starting point you can keep exploring.

Start from an idea.

Describe a subject and scene. Clay will guide the treatment; you can choose the shape and add references in the generator.

Create with Clay

Start from an image.

Add your own image and describe what should remain recognizable and what should change. Clay guides a new interpretation, so fine details can change.
