Make a model from a description

Steps

1. 1

   Open Create (left rail, or the bottom bar on a phone). The 3D model tab is chosen.

   (opens the full picture in a new tab)

2. 2

   Choose the Game: Hytale, Minecraft or General. It sets the size and the downloads Forge prepares first. You can still download for the other game later.

3. 3

   Describe your model in the box. Say what it is, its shape and size, its colours and materials. For example: "A steam train engine with a brass boiler and red wheels". Short is fine. Stuck? Press Use this example, or pick one of the starter ideas under the box ("A flower cart", "A pirate flag"...).

4. 4

   Optional: open Build settings (under the box) and choose what kind of thing it is: Item, Block, Character, Creature, Prop or Structure. Leave it on General if you are not sure.

5. 5

   Optional: the Builder button (top left of the box) shows which builder Forge uses. Today that is v1.7 for every model; v2 is marked "coming soon".

6. 6

   Optional: add a picture with Reference image (optional). See Make a model from a picture (reference pictures).

7. 7

   Press Build it (the button carries the price). A sheet, Review your build, shows the game, the builder, the price, your balance after, and What I read: the parts Forge understood from your description, which you can change in place. If Forge is not sure which game you mean, it asks first. Press Confirm to start; nothing is charged before that. When every builder is busy the button says Join the line instead, and your build starts when its turn comes.

8. 8

   Forge opens the build page and you can watch it work. You can close the tab: the build keeps going, and you find it later in My assets or Builds. See Watch a build and use the result page.

Signed out, the button says Sign up to build. It opens the sign-up card, and your description and picture are kept for when you come back.

On a phone

The same box fills the screen; the Builder and Game choices sit above the description, and the build button is under it.

Other ways to start

• Use this prompt on any free model or Discover model fills Create with that model's description.

• Make one like this on a free model card, or Create something similar on a model page, starts a brief from that model.

• Edit a saved model instead (under the box) changes one of your models instead of making a new one.
