Turn a 2D image into 3D

model using other
software
1. Using 3D modeling software

There are a number of software tools specifically

designed for creating 3D models, such as Autodesk
3DS Max, Blender, or Maya.

These programs allow you to import an image and

then use various tools and techniques to create a 3D
model based on the image.

You can use a variety of tools to shape, sculpt, and

refine the model, adding details and elements as
needed. 

2. Using a 3D scanning app 1


Another option for converting an image to a 3D
model is to use a 3D scanning app. These apps use

the camera on your smartphone or tablet to capture a
3D scan of an object or scene.

You can then import the scan into a 3D modeling

program or use it as a reference for creating a 3D

3. Using photogrammetry software 

Photogrammetry is the process of creating a 3D

creality.com  Messages  International  Creality Cloud App
model from a series of 2D images. There are several 

software tools that use photogrammetry to convert

images into 3D models, such asModels
 Premium  Upload Workbench 
Agisoft Metashape or
RealityCapture.

To use photogrammetry software, you’ll need to take

a series of photos of the object or scene from
different angles, and then import them into the
software. The software will use the images to create a
3D model based on the overlapping details and
shapes in the photos.

With the new AI generator tools you can describe

what you would like to see and then, inspired by AI
art, create a brand new design. But of course, this is
more for advanced designers.

Conclusion

No matter which method you choose, converting an

image to a 3D model can be a time-consuming
process that requires patience and attention to detail.
However, with the right tools and techniques, you can
create accurate and visually stunning 3D models that
bring your designs to life.
