What is LayerGen AI?

LayerGen AI turns a text prompt or a reference image into a 3D miniature for tabletop games: heroes, monsters, NPCs, terrain and props. Prompt templates use RPG vocabulary, and the site says it works for any game system, from D&D and Pathfinder to wargames. Every run is an HD model at about 200,000 polygons, and it takes under a minute according to the site.

You can scale to 28 mm heroic, 32 mm, 15 mm or 75 mm with one click, or enter any size in millimeters. Each model is checked for a watertight mesh, wall thickness and stable base contact, and a print mode exports clean geometry without textures. Exports include STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, FBX, USDZ and BLEND. You can tweak the prompt and re-run a model as a free, untextured iteration (2 per model, 3 a day). A free STL Print Checker scores any STL, OBJ or 3MF without an account.

The first HD print is free, and every account gets 40 credits that refresh back to 40 every 30 days. An HD model costs 20 credits. A $5 pack adds 100 credits, and plans are $12, $24 and $39 a month for 240, 600 and 1,100 credits, with capped rollover. It suits D&D players and wargamers who want their own figures and print in resin or with a fine nozzle.
