Learn how to use img2model to quickly generate (game ready) 3D models and meshes from your pictures, images and sketches.

Getting started

Setup your account and get started.

To get started with img2model;

  • Create your free account
  • Activate your account by clicking the link in your email
  • You will instantly receive free credits
  • You will also receive weekly free credits
  • Click the Generator page
  • Select the image or picture you want to create a 3D model of
  • Select your detail level
    • A lower detail will cost less credits
    • A higher detail will create better results
    • Depending on your image, low detail is fine!
    • A model with a lot of fine details will need a high detail level (e.g. a dragon model)
    • A model with small details, such as a wine bottle, box, or vase can be a low detail level.
    • Affects the price and speed a lot
  • Select the polycount
    • Lower polycount will be cheaper
    • Higher polycount will generate smoother results
    • Does not affect the actual generation detail
    • Runs from 1k all the way up to 1M polygons
    • How far you can go depends on your plan - see below
    • Affects the price and speed a little
  • Automatic texture generation
    • Expensive, but generates a UV-mapped texture for your model.
    • Yes, it will even fill in the sides that are invisible in your image (AI is wonderful, isn't it?)
    • Generates full PBR textures as standard - no longer just a flat diffuse map.
    • Can also generate highly detailed Metallic and Roughness maps for Regular users only.
    • Not needed for 3D printing models
  • Select the texture size
    • Choose between 1024, 2048 and 4096 pixel textures
    • 4K textures look best up close, but make the file a lot bigger
    • 4K needs a Regular plan or higher - see below
    • Only applies when automatic texture generation is on
  • Generation format
    • GLB is a modern all-in-one format - contains the mesh and the texture
    • OBJ is a simple text-based mesh format
    • STL is perfect for prints
    • FBX is perfect for game engines
  • Generate!
    • Your form will upload to our servers
    • The job will be listed with the Acaisia Marketplace
    • Workers will pick up your job and start crunching numbers
    • Results will end up in your account
    • If anything goes wrong, you don't pay!


What your plan can generate

Every plan makes the same models at the same price per job. A plan only decides how far the sliders go.

Plan Polygons Textures Voxels Full PBR Queue priority
Free trial 250k 2048 × 2048 256
Regular 500k 4096 × 4096 512
Pro 1M 4096 × 4096 1024

Every plan generates the same models at the same price per job - a plan only decides how far the sliders may go. Detail level, voxel output and every file format are available on all of them.
