How to use

The claymation prompt turns you into a hand-sculpted clay figure, with visible finger marks, a matte finish and warm terracotta tones. It works in NanoBanana, in Gemini and in ChatGPT. 1. Send a sharp photo of your face together with the JSON prompt, in the same message. 2. Keep the whole identity block: it is what makes the sculpture still look like you. 3. Adjust the clay colours for skin, hair and clothing if you want another palette. 4. Ask for more or fewer tool marks depending on how handmade you want it. 5. Generate variations and compare how the light falls on the matte surface. 6. Save the version where the smile and the eyes stay closest to the original. Tip: the negative list is doing heavy work here — glossy ceramic and wax skin are exactly what ruins the clay look.
