AI Texture Generator User Guide

Welcome to the AI Texture Generator , a cutting-edge tool developed by KAG3D Studio and powered by Pollinations.ai. This innovative application allows you to create, customize, and apply high-definition textures to 3D models with ease, perfect for game development,  architectural visualization, and more. Whether you're a 3D artist, game designer, or hobbyist, this tool empowers you to bring your creative visions to life with seamless, professional-quality textures.

Below, we’ll walk you through how the tool works, its key features, and a step-by-step guide to get you started. Let’s dive in!

How It Works

The AI Texture Generator Pro leverages advanced artificial intelligence to generate custom textures based on your input prompts. Here's a high-level overview of the process:

1. Input Your Vision: You provide a text description (prompt) of the texture you want, such as "rusty metal" or "futuristic neon glow."
2. AI Generation: The tool uses AI models to create multiple high-resolution texture variations (1280x1280 pixels) based on your prompt and selected style.
3. Seamless Enhancement: The generated textures are processed to ensure they tile seamlessly, making them ideal for 3D model mapping.
4. Customization: Apply the textures to various 3D models, adjust settings like rotation, scale, repeat, and more, and preview the results in real-time.
5. Save & Reuse: Save your favorite textures and revisit them via the history panel for future projects.

The tool runs in your browser and requires an internet connection to generate textures via Pollinations.ai. It supports multiple 3D models (cube, sphere, cylinder, torus, cone, and plane) and offers intuitive controls to fine-tune your designs.

Key Features

• AI-Powered Texture Generation: Generate up to 3 texture variations at once with styles like Normal, Realism, Anime, and 3D.
• Multiple 3D Models: Work with a variety of shapes (cube, sphere, cylinder, torus, cone, and plane) to test your textures.
• Real-Time Preview: See your textures applied to 3D models instantly in the viewer.
• Customizable Settings: Adjust rotation, scale, offset, repeat, and wrap mode to perfect your texture placement.
• Save Functionality: Download your textures as PNG files for use in other projects.
• History Panel: Access and reuse previously generated textures.
• Lighting & Camera Controls: Fine-tune shadow intensity, camera orbit, and background color for better visualization.
• Responsive Design: Works seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Tool

Follow these steps to start creating stunning textures with the AI Texture Generator Pro:

1. Launch the Tool

• When you open the tool, you’ll see a Welcome Screen with the title "AI Texture Generator Pro" and a "Start" button.
• Click the Start button to enter the main interface. The welcome screen will fade away, revealing the workspace.

2. Check Your Connection

• The tool requires an internet connection to generate textures. If you’re offline, an Offline Screen will appear, prompting you to reconnect and refresh the page.

3. Explore the Interface

The workspace is divided into three main areas:

• Sidebar (Left): Contains controls for generating textures and adjusting settings.
• Viewer Section (Center): Displays the 3D model and texture preview.
• Footer Controls (Bottom): Adjusts lighting, camera, and background settings.

Sidebar Breakdown

• Generate Texture Section:
  • Style: Choose a rendering style (Normal, Realism, Anime, 3D).
  • Texture Prompt: Enter a description (e.g., "wooden planks with knots")—keep it under 120 characters.
  • Generate Button: Click to create 3 texture variations.
• Texture Settings Section:
  • Channel: Select which material channel to apply the texture (Base Color, Normal, Metallic-Roughness, Occlusion, Emissive).
  • Rotation: Rotate the texture (0 to 3.14 radians).
  • Scale: Adjust the texture size (0.5 to 1.5).
  • Offset X/Y: Shift the texture horizontally or vertically (0 to 1).
  • Texture Repeat: Control how many times the texture tiles (1 to 10).
  • Wrap Mode: Set how the texture repeats (Repeat, Clamp to Edge, Mirrored Repeat).
  • Reset Button: Reverts all transformations to default.

Viewer Section Breakdown

• Model Viewer (Left): Shows the 3D model with the applied texture. Click the top-left model selector to switch between Cube, Sphere, Cylinder, Torus, Cone, and Plane.
• Texture Preview (Right): Displays the 3 texture variations. Click a texture to apply it, and use the Save Texture button to download it.

Footer Controls

• Shadow Intensity: Adjust model shadows (0 to 2).
• Camera Orbit X: Rotate the camera horizontally (-180 to 180 degrees).
• Background Color: Change the viewer background using a color picker.

4. Generate Your First Texture

• In the sidebar, select a style (e.g., "Realism").
• In the "Texture Prompt" box, type a description (e.g., "aged stone wall").
• Click the Generate button. A loading overlay will appear while the AI creates 3 texture variations.
• Once complete, the textures will appear in the texture preview grid. Click one to apply it to the current model.

5. Select and Customize a Model

• In the model viewer, click the model selector (top-left corner) to choose a shape (e.g., "Plane").
• The selected model will load, and the texture will apply automatically if one is generated.

6. Adjust Texture Settings

• Use the sliders and dropdowns in the "Texture Settings" section to tweak the texture:
  • Increase Texture Repeat to tile the texture more times across the surface.
  • Adjust Rotation or Offset to align it perfectly.
  • Change Wrap Mode to see different repetition styles.
• Changes update in real-time on the model.

7. Save Your Texture

• When you’re happy with a texture, click the Save Texture button in the texture preview panel.
• The texture will download as a PNG file (e.g., texture_20250312123456.png), and a success message will briefly appear.

8. Explore History

• Click the clock icon (bottom-right) to open the History Panel.
• Browse previous textures by clicking an item to reapply it. This is great for revisiting ideas!

9. Fine-Tune Visualization

• Use the footer controls to adjust Shadow Intensity, Camera Orbit X, or Background Color for a better view of your work.

10. Get Help

• Click the ? button (bottom-left) to see this guide as an alert popup for quick reference.

Tips for Best Results

• Craft Clear Prompts: Be specific with your texture descriptions (e.g., "cracked desert sand with pebbles" vs. just "sand") for better AI output.
• Experiment with Styles: Try different styles (e.g., Anime for stylized games) to match your project’s aesthetic.
• Combine Settings: Use Texture Repeat with Scale to control tiling density, and pair with Wrap Mode for unique effects.
• Test on Multiple Models: Check how your texture looks on different shapes to ensure versatility.
• Save Often: Keep your favorite textures saved to avoid losing them.
