## Short answer

Yes. Type a description of one character or object, up to 1,024 characters, and Bake3D builds a textured 3D model from it. It costs the same as starting from a picture, and it is rigged and animated the same way.

## In more detail

For a rigged bake, Bake3D first paints a picture from your words that is easy to rig, and checks it the same way it checks an upload. Then it builds the model and the skeleton.

Describe one subject. Say what it is, its shape, its colors and materials, and its style. For example: "a small green dragon with short legs, big wings and a long tail, cartoon style". A prompt for a whole game, a scene or several different characters is turned down before any credits are used, often with a suggested prompt for one subject.

A few clear sentences work best. Very long prompts do not add much. If two parts of a prompt disagree, the result ends up somewhere in between.

Text gives you less control over the exact shape than a picture does, so if you have a drawing, use it. Other languages can work too: the robot in the free demo came from a short prompt in Spanish.

A rigged Standard character is 65 credits, the same as from a picture. The free readiness check reads pictures only, so a text bake starts without it.
