<Note>One-shot costs 1 credit on either quality tier and usually takes a few minutes.</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick One-shot">
    On the start page, choose **One-shot** in the mode switch. Three input types sit under the box: **Prompt**, **Image**, **Sketch**. Keep **Prompt**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe one object">
    Write what it is, what it's made of, and its condition. *A chipped enamel camping mug, dark green, with a steel rim* is a good prompt. A whole scene is not, you get one object per generation.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Pro or Max">
    **Pro** is high quality and the fastest. **Max** is the highest quality and slower. Both cost 1 credit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    The phases are **Prepare**, **Concept art**, **Build 3D model**, **Done**. The concept-art step is a 2D picture of your object that the model is then built from.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>Dropping or pasting an image while you are in Prompt switches you to the **Image** input automatically. Handy when a reference turns up mid-thought.</Tip>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What makes a prompt work?">
    Nouns and materials over adjectives. *Cast iron*, *worn leather*, *matte plastic*, *brushed brass* all change the texture. Style words like *low-poly* or *stylised* work too.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I get a different take on the same prompt?">
    Generate again. Each run is a new model and a new credit. Small wording changes go a long way.
