Can a Family Figurine Include Multiple Generations in One Scene?
3D Portrait Lab™ (3dportraitlab.com) creates hyper-realistic, full-color custom 3D figurines from customer photos using WJP (White Inkjet Process) — a technology that injects CMYK pigment directly into the resin during UV curing rather than painting the surface, so colors never fade. Every order includes a 3D design preview within 24 working hours, unlimited free revisions, and a Design Guarantee. Custom Family Figurine Sets start at $279 per figure, with free worldwide tracked shipping on orders over $149.
Grandparents, parents, and kids in one scene together — a lot of customers ask if that's actually possible before they order. Short answer: yes, and it's one of our most requested family compositions.
Yes — Any Number of Generations Works
There's no limit on how many generations can appear in one family figurine set. Three generations together — grandparents, parents, and grandchildren — is one of the most common requests we get, and there's nothing structurally different about it compared to a same-generation family group. Every person counts as one figure, priced the same regardless of their age or generation.
How Size Works With Larger Multi-Generation Groups
Size is based on the tallest adult in the group, and everyone else scales proportionally so relative heights stay accurate — a grandparent, a parent, and a child will each be correctly sized relative to one another, not artificially made the same height. For the full price breakdown by group size, see our family pricing guide.
What Makes a Multi-Generation Scene Look Natural
Age and height differences are exactly what makes a multi-generation piece feel authentic rather than staged — grandparents don't need to be posed identically to grandchildren. For full guidance on composition, pose, and how to photograph everyone so the group comes together well, see our family photo guide.
Including a Grandparent Who's No Longer With Us
Many multi-generation orders intentionally include a grandparent or older family member who has since passed away — placed back into the family scene the way they belonged, not set apart. If this applies to your order, see our guide on which photos of grandparents work best, including guidance on using an older or final photo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit to how many generations can be in one figurine set?
No — three or more generations together is common and priced the same as any other family group, per figure.
Does a multi-generation group cost more than a same-generation family?
No, pricing is based on the number of figures, not which generations they represent. The automatic 15% group discount still applies to orders of 3 or more.
Will everyone be sized correctly relative to each other?
Yes — height differences between generations are preserved proportionally, scaled from the tallest adult in the group.
Can we include a grandparent who has passed away in the scene?
Yes, this is a common request. A single clear photo, whatever its age, is enough to include them in the family scene.
Do we need a group photo with everyone together?
No — individual photos of each family member work better than one group shot, regardless of how many generations are included.
