From the surface texture and the glossy sheen under studio lighting to the stable, three-dimensional presence—these results aren’t just simple style filters. They are created by reconstructing a character into a “figure-style output.” The tool responsible for this magic is the **PixAI Figure Generator**. --- The [Image-to-Figure Generator](https://pixai.art/ko/generator/preset/anime-figure) is a creative tool that allows you to transform a single character image into a virtual figure reminiscent of a real-life collectible with just one click. ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/0cde9b47-433d-4ee4-8e3b-433e2cc60ae1) ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/5f3c8428-4134-4808-adfb-6e26a50ab141) --- ### What is the PixAI Creative Toolbox? The [PixAI Creative Toolbox](https://pixai.art/ko/generator/preset) is a comprehensive suite of creative tools designed to expand a single image into various professional formats. It goes beyond simple generation, allowing you to evolve your illustrations into: - **Figure Images** - **Character Design Sheets** - **Game UI Screens** - **Merchandise Mockups & Exhibition Visuals** Each generator is optimized for a specific “output form,” with the Figure Generator specializing in 3D expression and display aesthetics. ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/81973bbe-b4ae-4ef8-8d65-b3a1acc28305) [Go to PixAI Creative Tools](https://pixai.art/ko/generator/preset) --- ### Figure Generator at a Glance ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/d320a9f0-31a4-443b-a2c7-c2c0d441a06b) When you upload a 2D character illustration, the AI analyzes it and converts it into a 3D figure-style image. During this process, the following elements are refined: - **Three-dimensional volume and silhouette** - **Surface textures (plastic, PVC, resin feel)** - **Depth created by lighting and shadows** - **Overall composition resembling a display case** The result feels less like “a drawing that looks 3D” and more like a high-quality photograph of an actual physical figure. --- ### Generation Options | Two Output Styles **Figure Only** Focuses solely on the character as a standalone figure. With concentrated effort on background, lighting, and texture, it gives the clean impression of a professional product photo. ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/ef4ca7d2-5307-410a-9eab-e26c13631c96) ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/e6dafc03-cd06-4ede-b3f1-5c2e649b82fa) ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/8bdb20a5-bb59-4ab2-81ce-fe86afa4f301) **Character + Figure** In addition to the figure, your original uploaded illustration is placed within the composition (often as box art or a background UI element). This creates a “Original Art + Figure Display” vibe, enhancing the feeling of a professional collection or a “behind-the-scenes” creation process. ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/ef4ca7d2-5307-410a-9eab-e26c13631c96) --- ### How to Use | Easier Than You Think ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/c082ba99-775b-42ee-ba14-8975203b9cf0) **Step 1 | Upload Image** Click “Select Image” or “Upload” on the Figure Generator page. Images with a full-body view and simple backgrounds yield the most stable results. ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/35d6cc98-0d96-4170-9ac0-ff96fb29dc3a) **Step 2 | Select Options** Choose between **Figure Only** or **Character + Figure**. Your choice will change the layout and the overall narrative of the output image. ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/cb2edbe4-92a2-4e52-adeb-6cb8d9e46233) **Step 3 | One-Click Generation** Click the “Generate” button (displaying the credit cost).
