Getting the best results with DTS AI

Three ways to build

By writingWhen the design is in your head. A precise description builds the model directly.

From photosWhen you have a photo or reference drawing. The result follows a reference more closely than words alone.

A concept firstSee a cheap picture of the idea first; build the 3D model only if you like it.

Writing a good description

Write it like a precise order to a modeller. The first words weigh the most, so say the most important thing first.

Suggested order

The piecewomen's solitaire ring
Shape and sizes in numbers2 mm round band
Stones and setting6 mm round stone in four prongs
Pattern and surfacehigh polish
Build noteone solid piece, nothing separate

Do

Ask for one piece per build; several pieces at once give floating, broken parts.
Give sizes in numbers: band width, stone diameter, thickness.
For casting, write "one solid piece, nothing separate" and avoid very thin parts.
Say what you do not want too: "no base", "no lettering".
Colour and material make no difference (the model is uncoloured); describe the surface instead: polished, matte, hammered, engraved.

Avoid

A bare noun such as "a ring" or "a jewel" with no details.
Empty words such as beautiful, stylish, luxury or special — the model cannot tell what shape they mean.
Vague requests such as "make it look good".
Contradictions, such as "plain and richly patterned" in one sentence.
Hands, boxes, tables or backgrounds — only the piece itself is built.

You can write up to 600 characters, but longer is not always better; a few precise sentences are enough.

Example: vague vs precise

Vague~~A pretty women's ring~~

PreciseWomen's solitaire ring, 2 mm band with a round profile, 6 mm round stone in four tall prongs, high polish, one solid piece

Build with this text

Vague~~A stylish pendant~~

PreciseSolid heart pendant 18 mm with rounded edges, one small stone at the top corner, a bail loop above it, polished surface

Build with this text

Vague~~Special earrings~~

PreciseTeardrop drop earring 25 mm, pierced frame with an arabesque pattern, stud post above it, no stones

Build with this text

Vague~~Men's ring~~

PreciseWide men's ring 8 mm, a rectangular plate on top with a matte surface, two thin grooves around the band, rounded edges

A good photo is half the job

Photos give a more accurate shape — as long as they follow these few points.

Good One piece, plain background

Poor Several things, busy background

A busy scene builds one tangled model. If the photo is busy, crop it to the piece.

Good Even, soft light

Poor Hard shadows and dark spots

Shadows and dark spots can turn into patches or holes. Shoot by a window with a thin curtain.

Good Straight on, from a little further away with zoom

Poor Very close and at an angle

Shooting very close distorts the piece. Step back and zoom in.

Front

Side

Back

Three-quarter

At least 512 pixels; 1024 pixels or more is better.
The first photo is always taken as the front view.
For the back and sides, give several photos: front, side, back and three-quarter — the same piece, in the same light. Without a back view, the back is guessed.
Shiny jewellery reflects: shoot in soft light and wipe off fingerprints and dust.
Lettering and relief come out well from one clear front photo.

Changing a design

Give a photo of a piece and write the change, e.g. "the same ring with an oval stone". You see the changed picture first, and its 3D model is built if you like it. For a model you have already built, its page has "Edit with one sentence".

Ask for one clear change at a time: the stone's shape, the band's width, or one added pattern.

Which DTS AI model?

The higher the model, the finer the detail and the slightly slower the build.

DTS AI Ultra	The most detail (4K); for very fine patterns, filigree, engraving and rows of small stones. Very fine detail can print differently — check "Print check" after the build.	15 credits
DTS AI Max	Our suggestion for most pieces (2K); a balance of detail and speed.	15 credits
DTS AI Pro	For simple, plain pieces.	12 credits
DTS AI Lite	Quick and cheap, to see an idea; not meant for casting.	3 credits

Ultra (2 times) and Max (1 time) come with free re-makes; if you do not like the result, say why and build again.

The right size

The "size" is the longest side of the piece in millimetres, and the model is made exactly that size.

Women's ring	19 to 22 mm
Men's ring	21 to 25 mm
Pendant	12 to 35 mm
Earring	8 to 40 mm
Bangle and bracelet	60 to 75 mm
Figure	80 to 200 mm

For a ring, enter the outer diameter: the inner diameter (finger size) plus twice the band thickness.

Ready for printing and casting

For casting, keep walls at least 0.8 mm; resin printers print down to 0.5 mm, but that is not strong in gold.
Ask for prongs and thin parts a little thicker.
After the build, an automatic print check looks at whether the model is closed, holes and faulty edges.
If there is a problem, "Repair for casting" closes holes, fixes faulty edges and thickens walls that are too thin.
See the approximate gold weight and price on the model's page; the maker's scale gives the real weight.

After the build

Turn and zoom the model; zoom into the angle pictures too.
Rate it and say what was good or not — it helps the next builds. Every 5 ratings earn 1 gift credits.
Not happy? Try "Edit with one sentence"; Ultra and Max also come with free re-makes when you say why.
Make product photos, a turning video and a vertical story video.
Sell the model or order a print. If you like, put it in the DTS AI showcase for others to see.

If the result was not good

Find the reason — most of the time one small change fixes it.

Not like my descriptionPut the most important thing first and give sizes in numbers. If you have a reference photo, "From photos" gets closer.

Too little detailPick DTS AI Ultra for fine patterns and name the details one by one; with photos, give sharper, larger ones.

Wrong size or proportionsGive width, diameter and thickness in numbers, and enter the right "size" (longest side).

Rough surfaceDescribe the surface: polished, matte, hammered or engraved; in photos, soften hard reflections with diffuse light.

Stone or prongs wrongGive the stones' type, cut, size and number, and the setting (prong, bezel, channel).

Broken or with holesWrite "one solid piece, nothing separate" and ask for one piece at a time; after the build, use "Repair for casting".

Took too longUltra takes longer; to see an idea quickly, try Lite or a concept first.

Common questions

Should I write in Persian or English?

Either. A Persian description is translated and ordered for the model before building; your text stays as you wrote it.

Why did my piece come out in fragments or with holes?

Usually several pieces were asked for at once, or the photo had hard shadows. Ask for one piece, write "one solid piece", then use "Repair for casting".

The back of the piece is wrong.

With one photo, the back is guessed. Give side and back photos too.

Does it make lettering or names?

Short lettering comes out better from one clear front photo than from words. Check very small lettering after the build.

Are credits taken for nothing?

No. If a build fails, its credits come back automatically.
