From photo to 3D. A practical guide.

Practical guides to choosing photos, understanding reconstruction and preparing your 3D assets.

From a photo to a 3D asset

Understand the steps from selecting an object to placing it in a scene, and the checks that make an asset useful.

A practical way to prepare a useful reference image, covering framing, viewpoint, edges and file checks.

Compare GLB and OBJ packaging, materials and uses, then check your export in its destination software.

Refine a segmentation mask with inclusion points, exclusions and the eraser. Check edges and gaps before turning your photo into a 3D object.

Check a generated 3D model before export: hidden surfaces, thin parts, textures, scale and a test import into your scene or creative software.

Select an object in a photo, then explore it in 3D.
