AI 3D prop generator: bulk sets from one image

Atlas takes one prop reference and generates nine scatter-ready variations — distinct silhouettes on locked materials — reconstructed as low-poly meshes ready for PCG scattering.

Try it on Atlas

Five stages, one prop to a scatter-ready set

01A single glowing blue-green mushroom prop reference on a neutral gray background

Technical deconstruction

A vision model reads your reference prop for materials, luminescence, proportions and texture detail.

02

Procedural variation

An LLM designs 9 distinct morphological variations — altering silhouette, stem bends, cap size and sub-elements — while locking art style and materials to the source.

03Nine glowing mushroom variations with different cap shapes, cluster arrangements and stem bends, each isolated on gray

Parallel synthesis

Nine multimodal nodes generate nine isolated concept images on solid neutral backgrounds at once.

04The nine mushroom variations reconstructed as low-poly textured 3D meshes, viewed from the side

3D reconstruction

Each image flows into an Image-to-3D node set to a low-poly backend with PBR textures, optimized for scattering rather than hero detail.

05

Optimization

Optional remesh nodes provide further decimation and topology cleanup for engine export.

Common questions

What does this workflow output?
9 isolated 2D variation images and 9 low-poly GLB meshes with full PBR maps, optimized for scattering, plus an optional 3×3 contact sheet — distinct silhouettes that read as one cohesive kit without obvious repetition.
How long does it take?
About 1.5 to 2.5 minutes from one image to nine textured meshes, since all nine variation pipelines run concurrently.
Can I control the art style?
Yes — the multimodal model inherits your reference image’s exact texture treatment, whether realistic PBR, hand-painted, clay or voxel, and you can edit the Master LLM prompt to push a specific direction on top.
Which engines are supported?
GLB output — drops into Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, and Blender, Maya or 3ds Max for further kitbashing.
