Stylize your 3D models to look like Minecraft, voxels, Legos, or other distinctive styles. Download textures and animations separately.
3D prompts work best when they describe silhouette, materials, and output intent. The stronger the build brief, the more usable the resulting asset becomes.
Best results start with a clear subject, materials, and output goal.
3D Stylization on Pixio changes how a 3D model looks without changing its shape. Upload a mesh and apply a style—Minecraft-style blocks, voxels, Legos, lowpoly, cartoon, or other presets—and get new textures (and sometimes simplified geometry) that match. Download the stylized model and, when supported, animations separately. Ideal when you have a realistic or neutral asset and want it to fit a specific look (game style, brand, or aesthetic) in one step.

| Mode | Input | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh + style preset | One 3D model + style choice (e.g. Minecraft, voxel, Lego, lowpoly) | One-click style change; geometry may be simplified to match the style |
| Mesh + text prompt | One 3D model + style description (when supported) | Custom style (e.g. "watercolor", "anime cel-shade") beyond presets |
| Option | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Style preset | Minecraft, Voxel, Lego, Lowpoly, Cartoon, etc. | Pick one to match your target look; presets drive both texture and sometimes geometry |
| Geometry | Keep original / Simplify (when available) | Some styles reduce poly count or convert to blocks/voxels; others keep mesh and only retexture |
| Export | Stylized mesh + textures; animations separate when supported | Check Pixio UI for download options (e.g. GLB with new textures) |
Credits depend on backend and style; check the model card in Pixio.
You often have the right shape but the wrong look—e.g. a realistic character that needs to fit a blocky or stylized game. 3D Stylization keeps the silhouette and proportions and swaps the appearance: new textures, and sometimes simplified topology (blocks, voxels), so the asset fits the target style without re-modeling. Use it when you want to batch-restyle assets or explore aesthetics without leaving the 3D pipeline.
| Scenario | Best choice |
|---|---|
| You have a mesh and want a different look (blocky, voxel, etc.) | 3D Stylization |
| You need to change only texture, keep exact geometry | Meshy (Retexture) or pipeline retexture tools |
| You need to generate the mesh from text or image first | Text to 3D, Image to 3D, Hunyuan 3D, Tripo, or Meshy |
| You want to change topology (remesh) without a style preset | Meshy (Remesh) or retopology tools |
| You want full pipeline: generate + style in one go | Some text-to-3D or image-to-3D backends support style in the prompt (e.g. "lowpoly", "voxel") |
Lead with silhouette before detail.
Materials help the model resolve form more clearly.
Say what the asset is for: product, game, animation, visualization.
Refinement should serve the pipeline, not just aesthetics.
A strong 3D prompt defines silhouette, materials, and final use so the result feels buildable instead of vague.
Describe the subject, silhouette, scale, and material language so the asset has a clear physical identity.
Use images or multi-view inputs when the object shape needs to survive more accurately.
Improve the asset once the core shape works so it fits better into game, product, or visualization workflows.
3D Stylization is strongest when the prompt reads like a build spec instead of a loose concept caption.
Use it for product forms, environment props, stylized assets, or 3D pipelines that need a strong starting mesh.
When refining, optimize toward the final destination instead of trying to solve everything in the first prompt.
Say what the object is and how it should read at a glance before chasing detail.
Describe the surface language and what the asset is meant for so the model has a stronger target.
Once the form is correct, improve readiness for texturing, animation, or export instead of starting over.
Use image generation first when you need a clearer concept frame before turning it into an asset.
Once the form works, stylization tools can push the asset into a more distinct final language.
