Merlion Clicker

My first trial at using AI to create a clicker from an image of a merlion generated by AI. Sharing it as a celebration of Singapore's upcoming 61st National Day.

I used Gemini AI to generate the merlion image in 2D. I get something that I like after a few iteration of prompts and I get the side and rear views images as well.

Then I fed it to Meshy AI to generate the 3D model. And I exported the model to STL and use TinkerCAD to split the head and edit the model to accept a Cherry MX keyboard switch.

I reimport the head and body parts back into Meshy AI, and ask it to texture the model according to the color image.

Its not perfect, so there's still quite some coloring touchup work to be done. I have little skills or patience to color this complex model.

So for people who are proficient in coloring 3D models, download the STL and color it yourself, do share with me your masterpiece if you do. Thanks.
