For those who want to jump into the trend and create their own images with Nano Banana, Google shared the following steps.
- Go to https://gemini.google.com/
- Upload a full-sized photo of yourself or anyone you want to feature in your image.
- For the action figure trend, use this prompt:
“Using the nano-banana model, design a 1/7 scale commercialized figure of the illustrated character in a realistic style and setting. Position the figure on a computer desk, mounted on a clear circular acrylic base without any text. On the iMac screen, showcase the Blender modeling process of the figure. Beside the monitor, place a TAKARA-TOMY-inspired toy packaging box featuring the original artwork.”
Users can also experiment with other prompts and trends or play around with the text and image options, as the possibilities are endless.
