Upload a readable source image
Use a centered subject with a visible full silhouette, clean edges, and enough resolution for reconstruction.
AI 3D Generation: Image to GLB Models
Generate GLB 3D models from images, multi-view references, text prompts, or 3D assets with Pixal3D, Trellis 2, Hunyuan 3D, SAM 3D, Rodin, Meshy & Tripo3D.
Image to GLB
How to create a Photo3D GLB
Follow this image to 3D workflow before downloading a GLB from the browser workspace.
Generate with the right model lane
Choose image, text, multi-view, or model-to-model input based on the source material you actually have.
Preview and download the GLB
Inspect geometry, scale, visibility, and material coverage before exporting the result downstream.
Generation readiness
Key checks before AI 3D generation
Use these checks to avoid wasted credits and messy handoffs when moving from source input to GLB.
Source image readiness
Check framing, lighting, silhouette, blur, and occlusion before upload.
Model lane fit
Confirm that the selected lane accepts your input type and credit budget.
Geometry and scale
Preview object count, orientation, mesh visibility, normals, and apparent scale.
Downstream export path
Keep the viewer, editor, converter, and scale tools close to the generated result.
Model workflow comparison
Pick the right model lane before spending credits
Pixal3D, Trellis 2, Hunyuan 3D, SAM 3D, Rodin, Meshy, and Tripo3D all run through one authenticated task and credit pipeline.
- Routing
- Private model routing
- Keeps API routing private while users choose by workflow.
- Scene
- image-to-3d / multi-image-to-3d / text-to-3d / 3d-to-3d
- Separates single image, multi-view, text-to-3D, and 3D-to-3D tasks.
- Runtime
- Queue + webhook or polling
- Uses bounded polling after queued generation tasks.
- Storage
- Project file storage when possible
- Stores generated files in project storage when possible.
Pixal3D
Default image-to-3D lane
Single-image GLB- API input
- image_url, seed, resolution 1024/1536, texture_size, SLat steps, decimation_target
- API output
- model_glb + PBR texture + seed
- Strength
- Best default for pixel-aligned reconstruction: image features are back-projected into 3D so the front view stays closer to the source.
- Watch point
- Requires a public source image URL; cropped, occluded, or low-light subjects still need manual cleanup.
- Credit estimate
- Calculated before submit
Trellis 2
Alternative image-to-3D pass
Alternative GLB pass- API input
- image_url, seed, resolution 1024/1536, decimation_target, texture_size, remesh
- API output
- model_glb
- Strength
- Useful when you want a second geometry interpretation before spending time in downstream tools.
- Watch point
- The mesh can read structure differently, especially on thin parts, so inspect the GLB before handoff.
- Credit estimate
- Calculated before submit
Hunyuan 3D Pro
Multi-view image-to-3D lane
Multi-view GLB- API input
- input_image_url, left_image_url, back_image_url, right_image_url, seed
- API output
- model_glb / model_obj + textures
- Strength
- Best when multiple views should guide geometry and texture instead of relying on a single front image.
- Watch point
- Reference views must describe the same object consistently; mismatched angles create noisy geometry.
- Credit estimate
- Calculated before submit
