Google’s Gemini Nano Banana AI image model is gaining significant popularity, with users generating realistic 3D figurines and sharing them across social media platforms. This AI model allows users to create lifelike figurines in various settings and styles. A current trend involves using the model to generate images featuring Indian attire, such as sarees. Users can upload photos of objects, people, or pets to create these 3D figurines at no cost. Furthermore, these generated images can be transformed into videos using free tools like Grok and Kling AI, which offer animation capabilities without the expense associated with platforms like OpenAI’s Sora or Google’s Veo 3.
Here’s how to create videos from your 3D figurines:
**Using Grok AI:**
1. Open the Grok app on your smartphone or web browser, or use X (formerly Twitter).
2. Find the “Imagine” section in the left-side menu and click on it.
3. Upload your 3D model generated by Nano Banana and tap or click on “Make Video”.
4. The video will be generated in a few seconds, often with background audio.
5. If you’re not satisfied, you can ask Grok to regenerate it. If satisfied, download and share.
**Using Kling AI:**
1. Launch the Kling AI app on your smartphone or visit the website.
2. Sign in using your email or Gmail account.
3. Find the video option and tap on it.
4. Upload your image and provide a prompt to convert it into a video.
Example prompt:
“Keep the figurine mostly static with subtle life touches—blinking, slight breathing, minimal hand movement. Animate the camera around the figurine in smooth cinematic motion: gentle pans, zoom-ins, rotations, and depth-of-field shifts. Place the figurine in a realistic, well-lit room with soft shadows and reflections. Ensure lighting and perspective feel natural, emphasizing the 3D form.”
**Additional Prompts for best Results**
Here are some prompts you can use:
* “Convert into a 4K, ultra-realistic portrait of a young Indian woman with the exact same face as the uploaded image (no alteration, 100% identical). She has long, dark, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders and is wearing a translucent, elegant red saree draped over one shoulder, revealing a fitted blouse underneath. White flowers are tucked behind her right ear. She is gazing slightly to her right with a soft, serene expression. The background is a plain, warm-toned wall, illuminated by a warm light source from the right, casting a distinct, soft-edged shadow of her profile and hair on the wall. The overall mood is retro and artistic.”
* “Generate a cinematic, hyper-realistic photo of the uploaded person wearing a flowing, deep-purple silk saree against a dramatic, stormy sky at dusk. The saree is billowing in the wind. The lighting is moody and high-contrast, with a single light source from the left highlighting the folds of the fabric and casting a long, dramatic shadow. The expression is intense and focused, as if a scene from a movie.”
* “Transform the uploaded person into a fantasy-style portrait. She is an ethereal goddess wearing a shimmering, iridescent saree made of starlight and nebula dust. The saree has a magical glow and trails behind her as she floats in a surreal landscape of floating islands and glowing flora. The lighting is magical and otherworldly, casting soft light on her serene face. The overall mood is dreamlike and surreal.”
* “Create a vintage-style photograph of the uploaded person, with a grainy film texture and sepia tones. She is wearing a traditional, handloom cotton saree in a simple pattern, sitting on a wooden stool on a sun-drenched veranda. The background is a traditional Indian courtyard with potted plants and hanging lanterns. The mood is nostalgic and timeless, capturing a moment from the past.”

“Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations.”
6. Press “Enter”. The AI will generate a 3D figurine from your image. You can then download and share it.
