Rendering 3D as 2D in Unity — So You Don't Redraw Sprites for Every Angle
The exact Unity 6.3 setup for rendering 3D objects as 2D, grounded in the official docs.

The real value of AI 3D generation isn't instant production — it's earlier judgment. Here's how to test candidates in a Unity scene and keep only what's worth refining.
