404—GEN Prompt Guide

A prompt can be either a short text phrase or an image that 404—GEN interprets to create a 3D Gaussian Splat. In this section, we’ll explore how to craft clear and effective prompts, along with tips to refine your input for the best results.

Text Prompts

• A good rule of thumb is to describe a single 3D object that you can look at and observe from multiple points of view. For instance, a good example is: “cute grey bunny rabbit with big eyes”. A bad example would be: “a blue sky with stars”.

• Be Specific.

• Single noun prompts with no descriptors often return poor results because they are too broad. For example "table" is less likely to produce a result than "round wooden coffee table."

• Prompts at least 3 words in length tend to produce the best results

• You can experiment with keywords for specific styles or materials. A few examples are:

• Anime

• Cyberpunk

• High Definition

• Mid-Century Modern

• Papercraft

• Realistic

• Don't be discouraged if the first result isn't what you'd hoped for. You can try rewording your prompt or even submitting the same prompt again.

Image Prompts

• For best results upload an high quality image of the object you wish to generate on a white background:

• Currently square images work best.

• Ideal image size is 1024x1024; Higher quality may result in a better model however if the image is smaller you risk returning a low quality model.

• The object in the image should be centred and clearly visible i.e. not cropped:

• Avoid using images prompts of thin entangled objects.

• Avoid using images with a transparent background.

• Avoid images with busy backgrounds.
