What is the viral Gemini AI 3D Figure Trend?

The Gemini AI 3D figure is a realistic PVC-style figure generated by Nano Banana, Google's latest AI image model. These figures are typically created from a user's uploaded photo and displayed with commercial-style packaging, often accompanied by a computer screen showing the modeling process in the background.

This trend first began on X, where AI image enthusiasts and digital artists discovered a mythical yet high-quality model called Nano Banana on LMArena, capable of turning photos into lifelike AI 3D figures. Later, when Google revealed that this viral model was actually their secretly tested Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, users flocked to Gemini to transform their favorite characters, pets, and travel photos into AI 3D figures and shared their results across every major social media platform.

Typically, users need to revise their prompts several times to get the best results, which can be a frustrating and time-consuming process. However, the AI photo editing app, PhotoDirector, has launched a 3D figure template that delivers the same results in just 30 seconds, featuring Nano Banana too!

FAQ About AI 3D Figure

You can use an AI figure generator like MyEdit or Gemini to transform a photo into a 3D-style digital figurine. Just upload your photo, choose a style, and the tool will generate your action figure image.

No, you don't need a 3D printer for digital figures. Most tools create 3D-looking images, not physical models. If you want a real figurine, you'll need to export the 3D model and print it with a 3D printer or order from a printing service.

It depends on the generator's licensing terms. Some allow commercial use, while others are for personal use only. Always review the tool's usage rights before using the images for business.

Yes, the tool is free to try, but some premium styles or higher-resolution exports may require payment. Check the official site for details.

If the generator only outputs images, then you can't print directly. You'll need a tool that exports 3D model files (like .STL or .OBJ), which can be used with a 3D printer.
