What if you could take a simple 2D image—a sketch, a logo, or even a photograph—and transform it into a fully realized 3D model, ready for 3D printing or digital design? For years, this process ...

FBX is an advanced 3D file format that can hold more 3D data than the OBJ format, including textures, models, joints, animations, camera, lights, skinning, etc. While OBJ is a rather simple 3D file ...

Are you fond of drawing some random doodles? Have you ever imagined some magic tricks that would transform your boring 2D picture into a realistic 3D model? Well then, turning a 2D shape into a 3D ...

Reality capture has been a foundation of design and construction since the age of chains and transits. Now, the technology is rapidly improving in sophistication, automation and integration. In one ...

Stability AI, the startup behind the text-to-image AI model Stable Diffusion, thinks 3D model creation tools could be the next big thing in generative AI. At least, that’s the message it’s sending ...

This feat was achieved using NVIDIA's Instant NeRF (neural radiance fields) software, which TechRadar reports uses neural networks and rapid rendering techniques. Otherwise called inverse rendering, ...

The next breakthrough to take the AI world by storm might be 3D model generators. This week, OpenAI open sourced Point-E, a machine learning system that creates a 3D object given a text prompt.

Accessible web-based 3D modelling platform, Womp, has announced its expansion with an exciting new 3D printing service. This ...

James Cameron may have helped kick off the 3D craze with “Avatar,” but he’s also been the format’s harshest critic, especially toward 3D conversions. So how did he end up doing the 3D conversion on ...
