along with your order number. We'll confirm and review them promptly — your 3D design proof follows within 24 working hours.
Your design tier is already built into the price on both pages — pick size and tier in one step.
Some tributes are too meaningful for "standard" — this is what makes the bigger, bolder ones possible.
The design and modeling work behind our oversized and fully custom pieces — explained.
Larger scale and fully custom AI-concept composites need more than our standard modeling — more surface area and finer detail to sculpt at high resolution, so a true 1:1 likeness stays sharp. This page explains the three tiers of that additional design work and what each one covers.
✅ Ordering a Standard Oversized Figurine or Bust?
You don't need to order anything here. Your design tier is already built into the price on the product page — just pick your size and tier in one step: Oversized Custom 3D Figurine (20–35cm+) or Oversized Custom Portrait Bust (15–25cm+).
High-Resolution Detail Work at Any Complexity
Additional sculpting keeps your likeness sharp — whether it's a larger scale or a fully custom composite
3D Preview Within 24 Working Hours
Once your design tier is confirmed, your 3D preview is ready to review within 24 working hours — same promise as our standard sizes

Design Only, Billed Once
This fee covers modeling only. Printing is billed separately, only once you approve the final 3D model.

Picked the Wrong Tier? No Problem
We invoice just the difference before starting work — never a full reorder.

Unlimited Revisions
We refine the design until you're happy — no extra cost, no revision limit.
Do You Need to Order This Page?
Only for projects that fall outside our standard size-and-tier options — everything else is already priced on the product page itself.
Beyond our largest listed sizes — past 35cm for a full figurine or 25cm for a bust. Email us at support@3dportraitlab.com with your reference photos and rough scale for a custom quote.
Multi-character or multi-prop composite — more than one person, pet, or major prop built into a single sculpture, beyond what a single-subject figurine or bust covers.
A fully custom AI-concept piece — not tied to our standard product sizes, built as an original 3D sculpture from your concept art and likeness.
Ordering a standard-size (9–18cm) AI concept figurine instead? Order directly on our Solo Portrait page — design work is already included.
How Our Design Tiers Work

📸 Photo Tips
Use a clear, well-lit face photo — front-facing works best for likeness accuracy
For AI concept pieces, send your concept image alongside your real photo
Add a full-body frame if your project needs a custom pose
Do I need this if I'm ordering a standard-size figurine? No. Our standard 9–18cm Solo Portrait and 8–12cm Portrait Bust prices already include design work, whether built from your photos or an AI-generated concept blended with your photos.
Do I need this if I'm ordering a standard Oversized Figurine or Bust? No. The Oversized Figurine (20–35cm+) and Bust (15–25cm+) pages already have your design tier built into the price — pick both in one step there. This page is only for sizes beyond those ranges, multi-character composites, or a fully custom AI-concept piece.
What if I pick the wrong tier? No problem — our team reviews every request after checkout and invoices just the difference if a higher tier is needed. You never need to cancel and reorder.
Can I use an AI-generated image of myself as a character? Yes. We use your concept image to guide pose, costume, and style, while your photos ensure an accurate likeness — built as an original interpretation, not a replica of any copyrighted character design.
Is the design fee separate from the printing cost? Yes. This fee covers modeling only — printing is billed separately once your design is approved.
How long does the design process take? Once your tier is confirmed by email, your 3D preview is ready to review within 24 working hours — the same promise as our standard-size orders.
How many design revisions do I get? Unlimited. We keep refining the 3D preview until you approve the final design, at no extra cost.
Do heavier props or accessories cost extra? Props up to 20g are included in every tier. Anything heavier is billed at $1.50/gram, confirmed with you before modeling begins.
ℹ️ About This Design Fee
3D Portrait Lab™ (3dportraitlab.com) uses WJP (White Inkjet Process) — full color injected directly into the resin, not painted on the surface. This page explains the additional sculpting and modeling work needed to reproduce a photo at higher resolution or as a fully custom AI-concept composite. Standard Oversized Figurine and Oversized Bust orders already have this design work priced in; this page exists for sizes beyond our standard ranges and multi-character/custom composites. Once your design tier is confirmed, every order — standard or oversized — receives a 3D preview within 24 working hours, backed by our Design Guarantee.
Common uses: figurines and busts beyond our standard size ranges · multi-character scene composites · fantasy and mythology statue commissions · esports and sports jersey figurines · fully custom AI-concept pieces
The likeness is what really got me — the navy suit, the tie clip, the pocket square, even the sunglasses and the hands-in-pockets stance all came through exactly like the photo I sent. The first preview was already really good, and the small tweaks I asked for were handled quickly. Holding the actual figurine next to the screenshots is wild — it’s basically a mini version of the photo. The suit color looks rich and the details like the tie texture are still sharp up close, not flattened out. It took about 20 days from picking the photo to having it in hand. Went with the 15 cm size and it’s got real presence on a shelf.
Ordered a batch of portrait busts for coworkers — the likeness on every one was spot on, and the quality stayed consistent across the whole group. Easy to coordinate, arrived on time. A real upgrade from the usual office gift.
Tip for family sets with a pet: mixing different sizes saves money and looks natural together. The details are spot on: glasses, necklace, ring, even the shirt colors. The color looks built into the material, not painted on. Customer service also set us up with a resin bench that pulls it all together. Thank you!
The likeness is what got me — the navy velvet crop top, the floral maxi skirt print, even the exact hand-in-hair pose from my photo all came through on the figurine. The blonde hair color and wave pattern matched too, not just a generic "blonde." My photo must've been good reference material, because the first 3D preview I got back was already spot-on — no revisions needed, I approved it right away. Knowing exactly what I'd get before it went to print meant zero surprises when the real thing arrived. The colors look like they're part of the resin itself, not painted on — no shiny "toy" finish. Went with the 15cm Family & Group size (1 Figure option). From picking my photo to having it in hand took about 12 working days — faster than I expected. Even the unboxing felt premium, with a nice branded box instead of flimsy packaging. It's become a favorite piece in the house.
I can't stop laughing! They perfectly captured my cat Banh Bao's signature 'sploot' pose on the floor. The orange stripes and his little white paws are incredibly accurate. Such a fun and high-quality keepsake!
Just wow. The packaging alone feels like a luxury item. Opened it up and the likeness on the bust is absolutely insane. Got this for his 45th birthday and he was completely speechless. Worth every penny!
Bought this as a surprise for our 5th anniversary. My wife actually cried when she opened the box. The likeness is spot on, even down to our exact height difference. We got the 15cm size and it's the perfect statement piece for our living room shelf. Such a unique and meaningful gift.
I was completely blown away when I unboxed this figurine. Holding it in the palm of my hand feels surreal. It has a nice, solid weight to it and feels incredibly premium—definitely not some cheap, light plastic. The artisans didn't just copy his markings; they somehow captured that exact innocent, sweet little expression he always makes. I have it sitting on my office desk now, and it feels like my little guy is right there keeping me company all day. Hands down the most thoughtful custom piece I’ve ever purchased!
Store owner replied:
Oh my goodness, what an adorable pup! Thank you so much for sharing these lovely photos. We are beyond happy to hear that his little figurine brings you joy and keeps you company at your desk every day. Capturing the unique soul of our furry friends is exactly what we strive for!
I was struggling to find a unique 20th-anniversary gift for my sister and brother-in-law because they literally have everything. I stumbled upon this site and decided to use a family photo from last Christmas. When my sister opened the box, she actually teared up. The level of detail is mind-blowing—they even nailed the exact pattern on her dress and my niece's argyle sweater! It’s proudly sitting on their living room mantle now. Worth every single penny.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful photo! Happy 20th Anniversary to your sister and brother-in-law! We are absolutely thrilled that we could help make their milestone celebration extra special. Thank you for trusting 3D Portrait Lab with such a precious memory
Ordered a batch for our team and the process was smooth from the first email to delivery — clear communication the whole way. A nice alternative to the usual generic corporate gifts.
Ordered the oversized bust for my boss and it’s a great upgrade — detail work is excellent and it has real presence on a desk. Once you go bigger, you can really tell the difference. Worth it.
The whole email communication was really thoughtful, and they walked me through each step clearly so I always knew what was happening with my order. The figurine came out great, and the process was easy from start to finish. Arrived well packaged — happy with it.
Everyone points at the cat first. The beautiful coat, distinctive markings, adorable expression and charming little bandana all match our photo. Looks great next to the family set.
Worried the kids would be the hardest part, but the details are all there: blue glasses, the truck-and-surfboard shirt, the baby's floral bow. They sit naturally next to the adults.
Flawless execution on a complex bulk order. The communication was seamless, revisions were handled professionally, and the final shipment arrived a week ahead of our corporate event deadline. Highly recommended for B2B gifting.
We’re absolutely thrilled with our custom figurine — it captures our family perfectly and everyone loves it. The whole ordering process was smooth and easy to follow, and the customer support team responded quickly and courteously to every message. Great experience overall!
Great experience from start to finish. Friendly to work with during the design process. Once finished, printed and shipped. Takes some time to complete the entire process but this is due to rendering from photos and updates on details so it’s worth the wait on getting it right.
Store owner replied:
Hi Logan, thank you so much for your kind words and for your patience through the whole process! We know a few rounds of adjustments can feel like a lot, and we really appreciate you sticking with us to get every detail right. So glad it was worth the wait — wishing you many years of joy with your figurine!

Got this 15cm family piece and it totally exceeded expectations. Keeping our photo private, but I had to leave a review because the likeness of all four of us is crazy accurate. Such a unique piece for the living room.
I ordered a custom bust as a birthday gift and I am so impressed. Even without sharing the photo here for privacy, I have to say the likeness is phenomenal. The material feels heavy and premium, just like a real museum sculpture. The whole process was smooth and they were very communicative. Highly recommend!
From photos to delivery — your questions answered.
Within 24 working hours of reviewing your photos, our Digital Sculptors deliver a personalized 360° 3D design proof by email. After you approve, WJP printing and quality inspection complete in 3 working days. International delivery then takes approximately 7–12 days. Allow 2-3 weeks total for any date-sensitive occasion. During peak season (Nov 1 – Dec 31), allow up to 30 days — higher order volume and multiple revision rounds can extend the design stage.
A clear front-facing photo at eye level is all we need to begin. For best accuracy, provide 1–5 photos including a side profile and a full-body shot for full-body figurines. Use natural daylight — no filters or beauty apps. Everyday smartphone photos work perfectly; no professional camera required.
Our Digital Sculptors spend hours hand-refining each portrait — capturing facial geometry, hair texture, and clothing detail — before WJP full-color printing at ±0.1mm precision with a 1.6 million polygon mesh per figurine. Every customer reviews and approves a full 360° design proof before printing begins, with unlimited free revisions included.
Yes — unlimited revisions, no charge. After receiving your 360° 3D design proof, you can request changes to facial features, hair, outfit details, accessories, or pose. Printing never begins until you give explicit approval. There is no limit on revision rounds.
Our Design Guarantee covers this scenario. If the physical figurine differs significantly from your approved 3D design proof — in color, proportion, or detail — we remake and reship it at no cost. You also have a 7-day protection window after delivery to report transit damage for an immediate free remake.
