# Quickstart

> Make your first 3D model in about five minutes

You will describe an object, watch it build, and open it in the 3D viewer. It costs 1 credit, and a new account starts with 20. Not signed in yet? See [Your account](/account/your-account).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick One-shot">
    The [workspace](https://workspace.unrealizex.com) start page opens on **Clone**, which needs photos. For a first model switch to **One-shot** and leave **Prompt** selected in the row below the box.

  <Step title="Describe one object">
    *A weathered brass compass with a hinged lid* works better than *a pirate's desk*. One object per model. Materials, colours and age words help.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Keep Pro, then Generate">
    **Pro** is the high-quality, fastest tier. **Max** is slower and pushes fidelity further. Leave Pro selected and click **Generate**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it build">
    A progress card shows the phases: **Prepare**, **Concept art**, **Build 3D model**, **Done**. You can close it, it keeps working, and the card in **My spins** keeps updating. A One-shot usually takes a few minutes.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Open it">
    When the card shows the **3D** badge, click it. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, and switch between **Textured**, **Sculpt** and **Wireframe** to inspect the mesh.

That's it. You have a `.glb` you can [download](/view/download-the-glb), [open in Space](/space/space-basics), [send to Blender](/view/send-to-blender), or [publish](/share/publish-a-spin).

<Tip>Made something real instead? [Clone from photos](/create/clone-from-photos) builds an exact twin of an object you own. Read [Photo best practices](/create/photo-best-practices) first, it saves credits.</Tip>
