## Best Practices

### Model Quality
- **Be specific**: Include material types (metal, wood, fabric), surface finish (matte, glossy), and style (realistic, stylized, low-poly)
- **Specify use case**: Mention if it's for games (optimized), AR/VR, 3D printing, or visualization
- **Include scale reference**: Describe size when relevant for proper proportions

### Topology Guidelines
- **Game-ready**: Request optimized polygon count and clean topology
- **Animation-ready**: Specify T-pose for characters, request proper edge loops
- **3D printing**: Ask for watertight meshes and manifold geometry

### Texture Quality
- **PBR materials**: Request specific texture maps (albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, AO)
- **Resolution**: Specify texture resolution (1K, 2K, 4K) based on use case
- **Tileable**: Request seamless/tileable textures for repeating surfaces

## Prompt Tips for 3D Generation

When creating 3D models, include these details in your prompt:

1. **Object description**: What is the object? Be specific about type and style
2. **Materials**: What materials make up the object? (metal, wood, plastic, fabric)
3. **Surface finish**: Matte, glossy, brushed, weathered, etc.
4. **Style**: Realistic, stylized, low-poly, cartoon, photorealistic
5. **Use case**: Game asset, product visualization, AR, 3D printing
6. **Technical specs**: Polygon count, texture resolution if needed

### Example Prompt Structure

```
"Create a 3D model of [object description] with [materials/colors].
Style: [realistic/stylized/low-poly].
Use case: [game/AR/visualization/printing].
[Additional requirements like texture maps, polygon count, etc.]"
```

## Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

**"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"**

| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality |
|------|----------|-------|---------|
| `max` | Final production assets, hero models, product shots | Slower | Highest |
| `eco` | Quick prototypes, concept exploration, bulk generation | Faster | Good |

## Multi-Turn 3D Model Iteration

Use `session_id` to iterate on 3D models:

```bash
# Initial model
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a 3D model of a fantasy sword with dragon motifs",
    "session_id": "sword-project-001"
  }'

# Iterate based on feedback
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Add more intricate engravings on the blade and make the dragon head on the hilt more prominent",
    "session_id": "sword-project-001"
  }'

# Request variations
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create 2 more variations: one with ice theme and one with fire theme",
    "session_id": "sword-project-001"
  }'
```

## Batch Asset Generation

Generate multiple 3D assets for a project:

```bash
# Asset 1 - Props
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a 3D model of a medieval wooden tavern table with benches",
    "mode": "eco",
    "session_id": "medieval-tavern-pack"
  }'

# Asset 2 - Environment piece
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a 3D model of a stone fireplace with crackling fire effect placeholder",
    "mode": "eco",
    "session_id": "medieval-tavern-pack"
  }'

# Asset 3 - Decorative
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create 3D models of tavern decorations: hanging lantern, wall-mounted deer head, and wooden mug",
    "mode": "eco",
    "session_id": "medieval-tavern-pack"
  }'
```
