GOOGLE Nano Banana AI for ARCHITECTURE - Beginner Tutorial (UPDATE)

In a matter of a few minutes, you will learn how to use Google's Nano Banana to create images, edit images, turn images into 3D models, convert a Google Earth building into a 3D model, turn a simple floor plan into an image, and how to remodel or reimagine your room, home exterior, and landscaping. At the end of the video, I threw in a bonus tip that will instantly elevate your work to the next level. All prompts I use in this video are in the description below. To access NanoBanana, head over to a studio.google.com. Over on the right hand side, you can read nanobanana. Nanoanana is a state-of-the-art image generation and editing model created by Google. This is the AI model that we will use for the entirety of this tutorial. All right, so let's create our first image. Let's start with something simple. Click into the prompt box and type in Zaha Hadid style home on the edge of a cliff. White organic architecture. There are birds and god rays in the sky. You can either click run or hold control and press enter. The hardest part about writing a good prompt is knowing what you want. Linked in the description below is the ultimate nano banana cheat sheet. It's a complete nano banana prompting guide made specifically for architecture. It's even got professional prompts already written for you. All you have to do is fill in the blanks. The user box is the prompt that we inputed. The model box is the response from the AI. This is the image that Nano Banana created. When you hover over the image, you can either download it or view the full image. In the top right of this box, you can either delete the image, branch from here, or rerun. Let's edit this image now. Now, type in boats in the ocean and more birds in the sky. Change the organic white facade to be completely made out of wood. Hold control and press enter. This is the image that it created. I don't like the weather and the clouds in this image. So, let's try to make it a more bright and sunny day. Change the weather to be a bright and sunny day. Hold control and press enter. Congratulations, you created your first image in Nano Banana and you are able to edit it. Let's say you already have an image or rendering that you would like to edit. On the right hand side of the prompt bar, you can see a plus icon. Insert assets such as images, videos, folders, files, or audio. Click the plus icon. Select upload file. Upload the image that you would like to edit. This is a rendering that I created earlier. It's a twilight aerial shot of a community center. I want to change it so it's daytime. Change the time of day in the image to be at noon. Bright sunny day with no fog. Hold control and press enter. And this is the image that it created. Let's do one more fun edit. Let's make it look like it's the grand opening and it's very busy, like there's a big party going on. At the bottom, type in add a lot of people. Make it the grand opening party for the community center. In the middle of the image, there are colorful balloons in the sky. Hold control and press enter. And this is the output from that prompt. I'm going to create a domed earth home. Type in domed earth home in the desert. There are circular windows and the home has two stories in some rooms. Aerial drone shot. High quality architecture rendering. Hold control and press enter. Now that we have our image created, we want nano banana to delete all the landscaping. So that way when we put it in the image to 3D model generator, it doesn't create the landscaping as well. Let's tell Nano Banana to remove the landscaping. I want you to remove the entirety of the landscaping so that the building is just a simple 3D model with no background. Hold control and press enter. After that's done, download the image. Open a new tab. Search for Meshy AI. Click into the Messi AI website. After you've created an account, head over to workspace at the top, hover over it, and do image to 3D. If you would like to pay for Messi, you can actually do batch images to 3D, where you can insert multiple images of the building from different angles to create a more accurate 3D model. I'm not going to go over it here, but you're more than welcome to try that if you would like to. It creates a much more accurate 3D model. But as for now, let's head over to image to 3D. Click in this box and upload your image. Make sure auto is selected under symmetry and click generate. On the right hand side, you can see that currently meshi is generating the 3D model. Click the box to open it. Scribe through the boxes to rotate the 3D model and find which one you like the most. This bottom left one seems to be the most accurate. I'm going to select it and choose yes for generate texture. Confirm. Now on the right hand side you can see that it's generating the texture for us when the texture generation is complete. You can click it and now you have your 3D model. You can also use somewhat of the same process to create 3D models from Google Earth buildings. Head over to Google and search for Google Earth. Go into the Google Earth and let's click new for new project. Search for the building that you want to turn into a 3D model. I'm going to do the Eiffel Tower. Click 3D on the bottom right and zoom out until you see it in its entirety. Let's open up our snipping tool. Click new and let's capture an image of the Eiffel Tower. Click save. I'm going to create a new folder because we're going to capture several images of the Eiffel Tower. This is where I'm going to save all my screenshots. Hold shift and click inside of your target. Rotate it slightly so that we can get a different angle. Let's create another snip. And again, let's save it into the folder we created. Let's continue to do this several times until we have a 360 of the entire building. After you've taken screenshots of all the different angles of your building, let's head over to Google AI Studio Nano Banana. Let's upload all of these screenshots that we took into the Google AI Studio Nano Banana. Click this plus icon in the prompt bar and upload your screenshots. Copy and paste the prompt from the description below. Hold control and press enter. You can see that Nano Banana has created a pretty decent 3D representation of the images. This image is not 3D itself. It's just a JPEG. But now we're going to use an AI model that turns images into 3D models. Hover over it and click download. Open a new tab. Search for Meshi AI. Click into the Meshi AI website. After you've created an account, head over to workspace at the top. Hover over it and do image to 3D. On the left hand side, let's upload our images by clicking into this box here and select the image that Nano Banana created. Make sure symmetry is on auto and click generate. On the right hand side, Meshy AI is currently generating our 3D model. After it hits 100%, click it. And you can scribe through the 3D model to see which one is the most accurate. The one I like the most is the bottom right. So, I'm going to click it and the popup. Make sure that target polyc count is set to max. generate texture is yes and click confirm. Now on the right hand side meshy AI is texturizing our 3D model. After it hits 100% click the box in the middle of the screen you can see the 3D model of your building. Click and drag it to rotate it. Make sure everything is great and in the bottom right you can download it. At the time of this upload it is free to download these models but it's likely that they change this over time. If that's the case, simply search for AI image to 3D model generator, and the workflow is likely very similar. Head over to Google AI Studio Nano Banana. Click the plus icon to upload your floor plan. Copy and paste the prompt from the description. Edit the prompt as needed and click run when you're done. And this is the building that Google AI Nano Banana created. You can make further edits to this building by simply typing whatever it is that you would like. two of the pods to be enclosed with a glass dome. Hit enter. And this is the output from the edited image. Let's say you'd like to remodel your room, your home exterior, or your landscaping. This is going to be easy with Nano Banana because it can create images that give you a lot of inspiration. First, let's start with remodeling our room. Click the plus icon, upload file, and select the photograph of your room. This is the living room in my apartment. I'd like it to completely remodel my room while retaining all the architectural elements like the window, the sophet, and the wood ceilings. I'd like it to change all my furniture to a light wood mid-century modern. Copy and paste the prompt from the description and fill in all the blanks. I'm going to say change the furniture in the room to be a light wood mid century modern style. Place abstract unique artwork on the walls. After you're done, hold control and press enter. This is the output from the image. It looks like it just changed my couch and it hung the artwork on the wall, but it is very accurate. Now, let's start a new chat and see what it can do with a completely empty room. Click this plus icon in the top right for a new chat. Click the plus icon in the prompt bar to add in a picture of your empty room. Copy and paste the prompt from the description. Make sure to fill in any blanks. I want the design style to be Scandinavian furniture. I'm going to tell it that this is my living room. For my color palette preferences, I don't really care. So, I'm just going to type in 2025 interior design trending color palette. Key materials and textures. I want a colorful rug, modern textures, and light wood furniture. For the furniture to include, I want a couch, coffee table, abstract artwork on the walls, a media console with a TV on it, and a colorful modern rug. After you're done filling in the blanks, hold control and press enter. And this is the output image. You can see that it did a very great job with making it look realistic and including everything that I wanted it to include. Let's say you want to edit the exterior of your home. Click the plus icon in the prompt bar and upload the photograph of the exterior of your home. The more orthogonal and straight on the photograph is of your home, the better the output will be. This is just a simple exterior image of a suburban home. Copy and paste the prompt from the description and fill in any blanks. After you're done, hold control and press enter. And this is the output of the remodeled home. Next, let's say you want to just change the landscaping. Let's create a new chat.
