Starting to 3D model from scratch can be an intimidating task, especially at the beginning. That’s why it’s helpful to use a reference image in Blender to guide your process. It could be an analogue ...

In traditional 3D modeling, the process often begins with a concept sketch or a 2D image. Designers then have to manually interpret these flat visuals and reconstruct them in a 3D environment.

The AI research labs at Facebook, Nvidia, and startups like Threedy.ai have at various points tried their hand at the challenge of 2D-object-to-3D-shape conversion. But in a new preprint paper, a ...

So first his system renders a 3D reconstruction of the 2D image in very low resolution. You can still get a lot from that — for example, that the outer third of the whole volume appears to be empty.

[Carson Katri] has a fantastic solution to easily add textures to 3D scenes in Blender: have an image-generating AI create the texture on demand, and do it for you. As shown here, two featureless b… ...

Shopify is now AR enabled, and anyone can now add 3D inventory, or pay Shopify $300 to turn 2D images into 3D models. There is no good solution. A new start-up emerged from stealth this week ...

Specifically, MonoCon is capable of identifying 3D objects in 2D images and placing them in a "bounding box," which effectively tells the AI the outermost edges of the relevant object.

Maximum Intensity Projection is a common tool to represent 3D biological imaging data in a 2D space, but it creates artefacts. Here the authors develop Smooth Manifold Extraction, an ImageJ/Fiji ...
