Google’s Gemini Nano Banana AI is currently making waves, with users creating impressive 3D figurines. This AI model allows users to generate lifelike figurines, with a current trend focused on images featuring sarees and other traditional Indian attire. The figurines can be created for free, and the images can then be transformed into videos using free tools such as Grok and Kling AI. This eliminates the need for costly platforms like OpenAI’s Sora or Google’s Veo 3.
Here is how to convert the 3D figurines into videos:
**Steps for Grok AI:**
1. Open the Grok app or website.
2. Find the “Imagine” section.
3. Upload the Nano Banana 3D model and select “Make Video”.
4. The video will be generated with optional background audio.
5. If needed, request a regeneration or download the video.
**Steps for Kling AI:**
1. Launch the Kling AI app or visit the website.
2. Sign in with your email or Google account.
3. Go to the video creation option.
4. Upload your image and include a prompt for video generation.
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.”
**Prompts to consider 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.”
