Getting started
What Bake3D is, which pictures work, how long a bake takes and how to reach us.
- What is Bake3D?Bake3D is a web app that turns one picture or a short description into a textured 3D character with a skeleton, then makes it move the way you describe in words.
- What makes a good picture to start from?A good picture shows one subject, with its whole body in the frame and a little space between the legs, arms, wings or wheels.
- Can I make a 3D character from a text description?Yes. Type a description of one character or object, up to 1,024 characters, and Bake3D builds a textured 3D model from it.
- How long does a bake take?About 8 minutes from picture to finished rig for a typical character.
- How do I contact support?Email hello@bake3d.ai, or click Contact support in the studio sidebar.

How we keep these answers true
The people who build Bake3D write these answers. Prices, limits and plan names are read from the same price list the site charges from, so they change when it does. Other facts, like how long a bake takes, are measured in production and dated on the page.
We say plainly what Bake3D cannot do. If an answer is wrong or out of date, email hello@bake3d.ai and we will fix it. Read more about how we write and check our pages.
