Google Gemini gets 3D model generation feature

Google Gemini app now generates interactive 3D models and simulations, adding AI-powered 3D content creation to its capabilities. As reported by The Verge, users can access this feature by selecting the Pro model in the prompt bar within the Gemini app.

How to access Gemini's 3D model feature

The 3D generation capability requires users to switch to Gemini's Pro model through the app's prompt bar. Once selected, users can request interactive 3D models and simulations through text prompts. The feature transforms written descriptions into visual, manipulatable objects.

This represents a major upgrade from Gemini's text and image capabilities. The interactive nature means users can rotate, zoom, and examine generated models from multiple angles. The Google AI partnership with other tech companies could expand these features further.

What this means for creative industries

The 3D generation feature could transform how designers, architects, and content creators work in the UAE. According to industry analysis, AI-powered design tools reduce prototype development time by 40-60%. Local creative agencies and gaming studios could leverage this technology for rapid concept visualization.

The feature arrives as the UAE leads AI adoption globally. Dubai's design district and Abu Dhabi's creative zones house hundreds of studios that could benefit from instant 3D model generation. The technology could prove especially valuable for architectural visualization and product design presentations.

Technical implications and limitations

While Google hasn't specified the complexity limits of generated models, the interactive nature suggests sophisticated rendering capabilities. The Pro model requirement indicates substantial computational resources are needed for 3D generation. Users should expect potential processing delays for complex requests.

The feature joins Google's broader AI initiative, following 2025's AI developments that saw chatbots taking on increasingly complex tasks. However, the technology likely works best for concept visualization rather than production-ready models requiring precise specifications.

Availability and access

Google Gemini's 3D model generation is available globally through the Gemini app. Users need to ensure they have access to the Pro model tier within the app. The company hasn't announced separate pricing for the 3D feature, suggesting it's included with existing Pro model access.

UAE users can access the feature through the standard Gemini app interface. No regional restrictions have been reported, making it immediately available for local developers and creative professionals. The feature could complement existing AI and 5G initiatives in Dubai's tech sector.
