Why Family Figurines Are Special

Family photos capture moments, but 3D figurines bring them to life. They become centerpieces that spark conversations and remind you of the people you love.

๐Ÿ 

Home Display

A 3D centerpiece for mantels, shelves, or display cabinets.
๐ŸŽ

Perfect Gifts

Give grandparents or family members a piece of the family.
๐Ÿ“…

Time Capsules

Freeze a moment in time as your family grows and changes.

Capturing the Perfect Family Photo

Group photos are trickier than solo shots. Here's how to get everyone looking great:

Positioning Tips

๐Ÿ“

Stagger Heights

Arrange by height with taller members in back. Use stairs or have some people sit for natural variation.
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

All Faces Visible

Make sure no one is hidden behind others. Every face should be clearly visible to the camera.
๐Ÿค

Natural Grouping

Have family members interact naturally - arms around each other, hands on shoulders. It creates connection.

Lighting for Groups

โ˜€๏ธ

Outdoor Light

Open shade or overcast days provide even lighting on everyone. Avoid harsh midday sun.
๐ŸชŸ

Indoor Light

Position near large windows. Face everyone toward the light source for even illumination.
๐Ÿ’ก
Pro TipTake the photo from slightly above eye level when photographing groups. It's more flattering and helps show everyone's face clearly.

Photo Requirements

โœ… What Works

  • โ€ข All family members visible
  • โ€ข Clear faces, no blur
  • โ€ข Natural poses
  • โ€ข Even lighting on everyone
  • โ€ข Simple background

โŒ What Doesn't

  • โ€ข People overlapping too much
  • โ€ข Blurry faces or motion blur
  • โ€ข Harsh shadows on faces
  • โ€ข Very busy backgrounds
  • โ€ข Mixed indoor/outdoor lighting

Step-by-Step Creation

1

Gather the Family

Pick a time when everyone is relaxed. Rushed photos show stress.
2

Take Multiple Shots

Capture 10-20 photos. Someone is always blinking or looking away.
3

Select the Best

Choose the photo where everyone looks their best. Every face should be clear.
4

Upload and Generate

Upload to 3D Figurines. Our AI processes all family members together.
5

Print and Display

Download the GLB file, convert it to STL and repair the mesh for printing, then find the perfect spot in your home.

Special Occasions for Family Figurines

๐ŸŽ„ Holiday Gatherings

Capture the whole family when everyone is together for holidays.

๐ŸŽ‚ Milestone Birthdays

Grandma's 80th, a child's first birthday - moments worth preserving.

๐Ÿ‘ถ New Additions

Welcome a new baby with a family figurine marking the moment.

๐ŸŽ“ Graduations

Family proud moments deserve 3D preservation.

Tips for Different Family Sizes

Couples (2 people)
Stand close together with bodies angled slightly toward each other. Arms around waist or holding hands adds connection.
Small Family (3-4 people)
Triangle or diamond formation works well. Parents in back, children in front, or all grouped tightly together.
Large Family (5+ people)
Use rows with height variation. Consider having some sit while others stand. Keep the group compact.
Multi-Generation
Place grandparents seated in center with family arranged around them. Creates a natural focal point.

Including Pets

Pets Are Family Too

๐Ÿ•Have someone hold the pet or position them in front of the group
๐ŸฑTake extra shots - pets are unpredictable!
๐Ÿ“ธHave treats ready to get their attention
