photo-into-3d-cartoon-animation.md
Convert this photo into a 3D cartoon animation.

Do not copy a trademarked studio character. Do not make the figure uncanny-photoreal.
Do not change face identity, pose, clothing, crop, or logos unless this prompt asks otherwise. Do not over-smooth skin, add extra fingers, invent text, or restyle unrelated regions.Negative prompt
Included when you copy the prompt
Do not copy a named animation-studio character. Do not sexualise. Keep it a cartoon still, not live-action.
Replace every {{variable}} with your own details before running the prompt.
Examples
Example input

A 3D cartoon still of the same child and pose, original clothes readable as a stylised version.
How to use this AI photo prompt
- Upload a clear reference photo of your face (well-lit, front-facing works best).
- Fill any placeholders on this page, then tap Copy Prompt.
- Paste into Meta AI (also works with ChatGPT, Gemini) and generate.
- Keep your face locked - only wardrobe, pose, and scene should change.
Privacy: If you attach a face reference, do it in the AI tool. Codextroop Prompt Library never receives or stores your photos.
Works best with Meta AI / ChatGPT / Gemini
Identity-preserving image-to-image prompts need a strong face reference. Avoid heavy beauty filters on the upload and use the negative prompt when your tool supports it.
Tips for better character design results
- Match the example aspect ratio when your tool allows it (often 4:5 for portraits).
- If the face drifts, re-upload a sharper photo and keep the same prompt text.
- Copy related character design prompts below to try alternate looks with the same identity lock.
