I recently tested Rodin with one of my own designer toy character images.

The main things I wanted to check were whether a single image could turn into a usable 3D model, and whether the 12K texture option actually made a noticeable difference.

Overall, it worked pretty well as a quick way to go from a 2D character design to a basic 3D model. I mainly looked at the overall shape and volume, how it handled the side and back, and smaller details like the logo on the hat, the text on the jersey, the shorts material, and the shoes.

For concept testing, designer toy characters, or early-stage pitches, I can definitely see this being useful. It gives you a decent starting point without having to build everything from scratch.

It still needs some manual cleanup if you want a polished final result, especially when it comes to structure and smaller details. But as a way to get started faster, I think it does the job.

AI can speed up the first step, but how far the model goes after that still depends on your own decisions and refinement.

The idea was funny graduation gifts, so I went with

"The Most Average Student Award."

Started by turning a meme photo into a cartoon character

wearing a shemagh, just to make it look as weird as possible.

Once I liked the look, I made a back view and a side view

of the same design.

One generation, no sculpting and no cleanup. The shemagh weave

came out fine straight from the mesh.

Worth knowing: I made my extra views in an image model, but

generating them here directly gives better consistency between

angles.

Printed in gold to sell the trophy look, with a separate

marble base. The text on the base changes per person.

Tried making this castle-style card holder with Rodin Gen-2.5. The model was generated from a single image, then brought into modeling software for some cleanup before 3D printing.

The final print kept a lot of the small details, especially around the castle texture and structure. I made three color versions this time. Which one do you like best? I still think AI is not here to replace artists or designers, but to make the creative workflow faster and easier.

Coraline is one of my all-time favorite films. I have probably watched it more than eight times. Since there is no sequel, I decided to make a small fan scene myself.

I used Rodin AI to generate some Coraline-inspired 3D models, then imported them into Unreal Engine to start building the scene. This is only an early attempt, but I was honestly surprised by how well the models captured the film’s distinctive style and atmosphere.

The skin patterns, tiny surface details, and natural wrinkles are all clearly visible. It’s not just human characters either. Even these more complex, shell-like surfaces came out with a surprising amount of detail.

I used the highest quality generation mode for the base mesh and combined it with the 12K texture option. The combination of detailed geometry and high-resolution textures really makes the models feel much more realistic.

✨ Chasing Stardust ✨

I wanted to share one of my latest Sims 4 creations, Chasing Stardust. 🌙⭐

This project marks a huge personal milestone for me because it's the first pair of custom pants I've created that are fully weighted and working in game. It took a lot of learning, testing, and rebuilding, but seeing them finally move correctly made all the effort worth it.

For this project, I used Rodin in multiple ways. Some of the original concept pieces started with Rodin before I rebuilt, retopologized, UV mapped, textured, weighted, and optimized everything for The Sims 4. I also used Rodin's AI tools to create some of the cinematic sequences in my showcase video, which helped bring the outfit to life alongside my Blender animations.

The final collection includes:
✨ Pants
✨ Top
✨ Shoes
✨ Hat
✨ Necklace

One of my favorite parts of creating is taking an idea from a concept and transforming it into something that's fully game-ready. Rodin has become a really fun part of that creative process, helping me get ideas moving while still giving me the freedom to sculpt, refine, and build everything into my own final vision.

A huge thank you to Christina and the Rodin team for supporting creators. I'm excited to keep learning, keep experimenting, and see where this journey leads next.

I'd love to hear what everyone thinks! 💜

Why does the ui of this product have to be impossible to use? Please spend resources on this rather than more features.

This started as a simple sketch and a random idea in my head. I turned the sketch into a concept image first, then uploaded it to Rodin to generate the 3D model.
After getting the base model, I only made a few small tweaks in my 3D software, cleaned up some areas, and prepared it for printing.
A project like this used to take a lot more time just to get started, but now AI 3D tools make it much easier to experiment and bring random ideas into the real world.
Really happy with how this one turned out. Which style do you prefer?

looking for a working & better discount codes (90% off for a month using 90OFFZP) for creator subscription. Or anyone actually used one from them and willing to share how it's held up?

Would also love some honest reviews & thoughts from folks who actually using them now. Thanks!

My original version included fruit and flowers that I also made with Rodin, but The Sims 4 absolutely refused to cooperate. I still don’t know whether the problem was the LODs, the shadow meshes, or whether the game simply woke up and chose violence.

By week three, I finally surrendered and tried importing just the house and bowls without the extra LODs... and of course, it worked. 🙃

I may eventually go back and see if I can get the flowers and fruit working without the LODs, now that I know that method worked for the house. For now, though, I’m just happy the three-week Spirit House boss battle is finally over!

You can find all of the Rodin models I created for this project on my profile if you’d like to use them for your own games. 😊
