Product concept to 3D
Explore a physical product idea before a final CAD or production model exists.
Image to 3D, inside a complete workflow
Turn a product image into an interactive 3D experience.
Generate an editable 3D starting point from a reference image, refine how it looks and behaves, then publish a product viewer or configurator—without stitching together separate tools.
Reference
3D result
One image. A usable 3D starting point.
Image-to-3D is the beginning, not the handoff. Keep generation, inspection, scene work, interaction design, and publishing in the same connected project.
- 01
Add a reference image
Start with a clear product photo or a concept image generated in Canvas.
- 02
Choose a 3D model
Compare the available generation options and review the exact credit quote before starting.
- 03
Inspect and refine
Review the geometry and textures, then adjust materials, lighting, camera, and presentation.
- 04
Export or publish
Use the model in your workflow or turn it into a shareable, interactive product experience.
Better input, better starting geometry
Give the model a clear view of the object.
Place the full product in frame, use a simple background, and avoid heavy shadows or foreground objects. Hidden surfaces are inferred, so a single image is best for ideation and presentation assets—not measurement-critical replicas.

- A textured 3D starting point generated from your reference
- Browser-based material, lighting, camera, and scene controls
- Variants, interactions, hotspots, and animation authoring
- A published viewer or no-code product configurator
From asset to experience
Build beyond a downloadable model.
Commerce presentation
Build an interactive view with finish variants, camera states, and product information.
Reusable creative workflow
Keep the image, generation, model, and presentation steps connected in one Canvas project.
Questions
Image-to-3D, without the mystery.
Can I create a 3D model from one image?+
Yes. 3DBAE supports image-to-3D generation from a reference image. The result is an AI-generated interpretation rather than an exact scan, so surfaces hidden in the source image are inferred.
What kind of image works best for image to 3D?+
Use a sharp image with the whole object visible, balanced lighting, a simple background, and limited occlusion. Transparent, reflective, very thin, or highly detailed objects can require more cleanup.
How much does image-to-3D generation cost?+
The cost depends on the generation model you select. Canvas shows the exact 3DBAE credit quote before a job begins, so you can choose the quality and cost that fit the task.
Can I edit the generated 3D model?+
You can refine its presentation in 3DBAE with materials, textures, lighting, cameras, interactions, animation, variants, and scene controls. Geometry quality still depends on the selected model and source image.
Can I put the result on my website?+
Yes. You can publish a supported project as an interactive viewer or product configurator and embed it on a website. Sharing and cloning remain under your project settings.
Do I need 3D modeling or coding experience?+
No. Image generation, image-to-3D, scene refinement, interactions, and publishing are available through visual tools. Familiarity with 3D concepts can help with advanced refinement but is not required to start.
