Facetra is an AI-powered jewellery design workflow platform for Indian ateliers. It converts hand sketches into photorealistic renders, multi-view technical sheets, live-gold-rate Bill of Materials, and downloadable 3D meshes (GLB/STL/OBJ/FBX). Built for Jadau, Polki, Kundan, Meenakari, Temple and Rajwadi styles.

Does Facetra replace CAD software like Rhino or MatrixGold?

No. Facetra is a workflow layer that produces the reference material (renders, multi-view sheets, BOM, 3D mesh) a CAD operator uses. Your CAD bench continues to use Rhino, MatrixGold or JewelCAD to retopologize the mesh into a cast-ready model.

What jewellery styles does Facetra support?

Traditional Indian styles: Jadau, Polki, Kundan, Meenakari, Temple, Rajwadi. Modern styles: solitaire, halo, cluster, tennis, cocktail. The rendering vocabulary understands craft terms like chaton, bezel, prong, jaali, nakashi and meena work.

What 3D formats does Facetra export?

GLB (default), STL, OBJ, FBX, USDZ, GLTF and 3MF. Two quality tiers: Standard (25 credits, 4K PBR) and HD (35 credits, native 8K PBR).

How much does Facetra cost?

Credit-based pricing. Studio render 1 credit, multi-view sheet 4 credits, CAD-ready 1 credit, 3D mesh 25-35 credits. Credit packs: Starter ₹1,500 for 100 credits (₹15/credit), Studio ₹7,000 for 500 credits (₹14/credit), Atelier ₹15,600 for 1,300 credits (₹12/credit). New signups get 10 free credits.

Is my design confidential on Facetra?

Yes. Every design lives in a private per-user storage bucket. Nothing is public, nothing is shared with other users, nothing is used to train shared AI models.

AI Temple Idol Sculpting, Component Split & 3D CAD

Sculpt Lakshmi, Ganesh, Krishna and every temple motif with iconographic proportion preserved — split into components, and generate production-ready 3D CAD for a South Indian atelier's karigar and CAD bench.

Start rendering — 10 free credits How it works

Temple jewellery is the most iconography-sensitive craft in South Indian bridal work. Get the proportion of Lakshmi's stance wrong by 5% and the piece stops being sacred — it becomes decoration. Traditionally, sculpting a temple-quality deity relief for a vanki or oddiyanam takes a specialist sculptor 3-7 days per motif and costs ₹8,000-₹30,000. Adding a second piece to a bridal set (matched vanki + oddiyanam + jhumka) triples the cost.

Facetra's temple pipeline shortens that to hours. It sculpts deity idols with correct iconographic posture, splits the piece into components (deity centre / nakashi border / granulation / ghungroo drops / kaasu chain), and generates a production-ready 3D CAD-ready mesh per component. Used by Chennai, Kanchipuram, Madurai, Coimbatore and Thanjavur ateliers to serve Kanjivaram-wearing brides with same-day designs.

What is AI temple idol sculpting?

AI temple idol sculpting is a three-stage workflow: (1) render the temple piece with iconographic proportion locked (Lakshmi facing viewer with lotus in each hand, Ganesh seated with modak in trunk, Krishna in flute posture, peacock feathers correctly counted); (2) run component detection to isolate the deity relief, the nakashi border, the granulation field and the drop / chain sub-parts; (3) generate a per-component 3D mesh (STL / GLB / OBJ / FBX / 3MF) with high-relief repoussé depth preserved and wall thickness safe for lost-wax casting of gold-plated silver.

What Facetra Temple Idol 3D delivers

Deity iconography locked — Lakshmi / Ganesh / Krishna / Saraswati / Durga / peacock / elephant / lion / lotus in classical posture and proportion
High-relief nakashi (repoussé) depth preserved through 3D generation
Granulation borders modelled as physical dome-beads, not decorative texture
Component split: deity centre / border / drops / chain each become their own STL
Gold-plated silver wall-thickness aware (bulk silver body + 22kt plating layer)
Coordinated bridal set output — vanki + oddiyanam + jhumka + kaasu malai + nethichutti sculpted with matching iconography and stone accents
Uncut ruby / emerald chaton cavities pre-modelled for stone-setting

The Facetra workflow (six steps, one afternoon)

Upload a sketch, reference photo, or Facetra render of the temple piece.
Describe the piece: e.g. "Lakshmi vanki, high-relief nakashi, twelve uncut ruby accents".
Facetra renders the piece with deity proportion locked.
Run Auto-Split — deity centre, nakashi border, granulation, ghungroo drops, kaasu chain each get their own component.
For each component, generate 3D mesh (Standard 15 credits / HD 25 credits).
Preview the assembled set in the browser or export component STLs to your CAD bench.

Sample prompts to copy

Paste any of these prompts into Facetra Studio to see the style in action. Adjust weights (heavy / light), stone colours and motifs freely.

Prompt 1Lakshmi vanki (armband), high-relief nakashi, granulation border, twelve uncut ruby chatons, gold-plated silver — split into components and generate HD 3D per component

Prompt 2Krishna kaasu malai, twenty gold coin panels with deity relief centrepiece, uncut emerald drops, gold-plated silver — HD 3D for each coin panel and the drops

Prompt 3Peacock jhumka pair with kaasu drops — sculpted peacock feather layout, granulation shoulder, uncut ruby eye, gold-plated silver, Standard 3D

Prompt 4Full bridal Kanjivaram temple set (vanki + oddiyanam + jhumka + nethichutti) with matched Lakshmi iconography — component-split and HD 3D per component

How much does it cost?

Credit-based pricing. Studio render 1 credit per variant, multi-view sheet 4 credits, CAD-ready view 1 credit, 3D mesh 15 credits (Standard) or 25 credits (HD). Credit packs start at ₹1,500 (Starter, 100 credits, ₹15/cr) and go down to ₹12/credit on the Atelier pack (1,300 credits at ₹15,600). New signups get 10 free credits.

Frequently asked questions

Does the deity iconography stay accurate through the 3D generation?

Yes. The 2D-to-3D pipeline is proportion-locked — Lakshmi's stance, Ganesh's trunk-modak posture, Krishna's flute grip and peacock feather count all survive the mesh generation. If a specific regional variant matters (Kanchipuram Lakshmi vs. Madurai Lakshmi), upload a reference photo and Facetra follows the silhouette.

Is the granulation border rendered as physical geometry?

Yes — thousands of individual dome-beads with correct spacing, sized and positioned per traditional temple standards. At HD tier you can count individual beads at 40× zoom on the 3D preview.

Does the 3D mesh handle the silver-body + gold-plating split?

The mesh itself is single-material geometry; the material split is handled at the BOM stage — Facetra's BOM automatically applies bulk silver weight for the body and 22kt gold-plating cost for the surface. Your CAD bench outputs the same silver STL and applies plating at manufacture.

Can I generate a full coordinated bridal set?

Yes — one of the primary use cases. Describe the set in one prompt (vanki + oddiyanam + jhumka + kaasu malai + nethichutti with matched Lakshmi iconography) and Facetra renders + splits + generates 3D for every piece with visually consistent motif, proportion and stone accents.

How much does a complete temple set 3D cost?

A full 5-piece bridal set at HD averages ~25 credits × 5 pieces × ~4 components each = ~500 credits ≈ ₹6,000 at the Atelier pack rate. Traditional route: ₹40,000-₹1,50,000 outsourced across a 2-3 week timeline.

Does this work for non-Hindu temple styles (Jain, Sikh, Buddhist motifs)?

Yes. Facetra's prompt library covers Jain thirthankar motifs, Sikh Khanda, Buddhist Dharmachakra and lotus. Describe the motif explicitly (e.g. "Jain Mahavira seated in padmasana") and the render preserves iconographic proportion.
