To get started with img2model;

  • Create your free account
  • Activate your account by clicking the link in your email
  • 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
    • 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?)
    • Does not generate PBR-textures - only a simple diffuse texture.
    • Not needed for 3D printing models
  • Remove background
    • Will first try to isolate the in-focus model from the background.
    • Useful for real pictures of items
    • Not needed if you have a drawing on a white or transparant background
  • Generation format
    • GLB is a modern all-in-one format - contains the mesh and the texture (not functional yet)
    • OBJ is a simple text-based mesh format
    • STL is perfect for prints (not functional yet)
    • FBX is perfect for games (not functional yet)
  • 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!
