Step 1
Upload the subject to sculpt
Portraits, couples, and pets convert charmingly. Simple compositions help, because the clay conversion rounds every form — a clean subject becomes an adorable miniature rather than a lumpy scene.

Step 2
Shape the handmade look
Seedream 5.0 applies soft clay texture, rounded forms, and tactile studio lighting by default. Prompt for fingerprint detail, pastel plasticine colors, or a stop-motion set backdrop to vary the craft feel.
Step 3
Render the miniature and download
Generate the clay figure, admire the handmade imperfections, and export in product-friendly ratios. Rerun with different texture notes if you want smoother or rougher sculpting.

FAQ
Photo to Clay FAQ
What gives the results that stop-motion movie charm?
Seedream 5.0 renders rounded simplified forms, matte clay surfaces with subtle tool marks, and the soft close-up lighting used in stop-motion sets. Together they read as a hand-sculpted miniature photographed on a tabletop.
How is this different from the LEGO or 3D converters?
All three share Seedream 5.0, but this one targets organic handmade softness — rounded edges and matte clay — while the LEGO tool builds rigid brick geometry and the 3D tool aims for polished CGI realism.
Do couple and family photos work in clay style?
Yes, two or three subjects sculpt nicely and make popular anniversary and family gifts. Each person keeps hairstyle, outfit colors, and pose, translated into chunky clay proportions.
Can I control the clay colors?
Describe your palette in the prompt — pastel pink and mint, natural terracotta, or bright primary plasticine. The model recolors the sculpt while keeping recognizable skin, hair, and outfit distinctions.
