name: 3d-ready-concept
description: Draws objects as clean, model-ready concepts and turnarounds, so an image-to-3D model reads their shape correctly. Use before making a 3D model from a picture: props, furniture, products, weapons and vehicles.

# 3D-ready concept

## Concept (1:1)
- One object, whole and centred, filling about 70% of the frame, in a three-quarter view from slightly above.
- A plain light grey seamless background, soft even light and only a faint contact shadow.
- Real materials named plainly (oak, brushed steel, bouclé, glazed ceramic) with their colours.
- No text, props, hands, cropping, motion blur or depth of field.

## Turnaround (16:9)
Exactly three whole views of the same object side by side, left to right: front, side profile and back, at the same scale and light on one shared baseline, evenly spaced with clear space around each, on the same grey. Nothing else on the sheet (no close-ups, swatches or text): the 3D model is made from it, cropping each view. The object turns 90° between views and nothing else changes: a part that leans left in the front view leans the matching way in each side view, and nothing appears that the concept doesn't have (no cords, stands or extra parts).

## Shapes that model well
Solid, closed forms with clear silhouettes. Thin parts (cables, straps, hair) a little thicker than in life. Glass and liquids shown as frosted or opaque, since 3D models read them as solid.

## Avoid
Scenes, several objects, floating parts, busy patterns that read as geometry, and strong reflections of a room.
