# Text-to-3D

Text-to-3D takes a text prompt to generate a preview. If you're happy with the preview, you can pay to create the final mesh model.

## Generating 2D Preview

Generating a 2D Preview is fast, usually only taking a few seconds.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2FfGLYkb8HJ8v2E38ojQmc%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=9421d5ed-c0ae-4f56-94ba-72fa76843460" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

The 2D preview can be viewed, including the texture it will have. You can redo the 2D Preview by clicking the "Add variant" button. <img src="https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2FvrKdmAm2WmKt9FmsA65v%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=c6729eaa-e1c0-4801-903d-c6306d3b24e1" alt="" data-size="line">

## Generating final model

If you like the Preview, you can make it full 3D model by clicking <img src="https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2FkkwM8kwyyeN6nnsUs2OS%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=041c4def-692b-4af9-a774-40c4f0af14be" alt="" data-size="line"> to begin the generation process.&#x20;

## 3D Model Details&#x20;

Before generating the full 3D Model, you can choose from the available [AI Models](/advanced/ai-models.md).

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2F1B21SPpaJ4QKQ0khkIA8%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=2a433e46-59cc-47c4-b603-6b3e7a53cf0f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Additionally, you can:

* **Generate PBR Textures** - Generates [PBR textures](/export/using-pbr-materials.md) for this model.
* **Allow NSFW** - Allows generation of NSFW content, if the model allows.

## Final Model&#x20;

The final model can be exported or downloaded.

* **Downloaded** - Downloaded as a DAE or GLB file. <img src="https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2FVoH7fgKbh6gJKIR02xrw%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=c864a849-6d3b-49a2-832b-b7dfe45c8669" alt="" data-size="line">
* **Exported to SL** - Send to your avatar in SL, for a cost. <img src="https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2FxqVtTdIsfcZN4EszEf7W%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=ec3fa70d-65b8-48bc-8809-640494ff65db" alt="" data-size="line">

You can also [re-texture](/basics/re-texture.md) your model by clicking the "Add texture variant" button. <img src="https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2F3vQfzae7cVX06DBQUQsc%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=52c9b8b5-ed03-4a8d-9607-03408960d2bc" alt="" data-size="line">
