Picture in. Model out.
ModelSmith3D turns a photo, a drawing or a set of views into a true-to-size 3D model you can print, render, drop into a game or open in CAD. It runs on your own Windows PC.
Input: 4 drawingsThe AI builds the whole object, including the sides the picture doesn't show. Or pick a style: flat, rounded, layered relief for logos and coins.
Character turnarounds, blueprints and three-view drawings. Your views set the exact outline and size; the AI adds real curves.
Walk around it with a camera. Photogrammetry measures the shape in all three dimensions.
Workflows
Start from what's already on your desk. Each workflow ends in the file your next program expects, at the right size.
Massing and context models in minutes instead of an afternoon of modeling.
A building elevation, a plan, or a photo of a building front.
A block model from your elevations with crisp, straight walls, or a front with real depth from a single photo. Enter the real width and it's to scale.
DXFSTEP for AutoCAD, Revit or Rhino, GLB for renders, USDZ to show a client in AR on an iPhone.
Concept art to a textured, in-engine prop the same day.
Concept art, a character or vehicle turnaround, or a reference photo.
A textured model at true scale, ready for the engine: three levels of detail in one GLB, each with its own baked texture and a normal map, so even the lightest one keeps its look.
GLB straight into Unity, Unreal or Godot with one click: Export For › Game Engine. Power-of-two textures, pivot on the ground.
Starting geometry instead of a blank file.
A product photo, a sketch, or a three-view drawing.
A closed solid in real units (mm, cm, m, in, ft). Smooth, flatten, fill holes and mirror one half onto the other.
OBJ as clean quads for Fusion 360 (convert to T-spline or BRep) and Rhino (SubD), surfaces you can reshape. STEP for SolidWorks or FreeCAD, DXF for AutoCAD.
A base mesh you can start sculpting, texturing and lighting.
Any picture, or the views from a model sheet.
A model you can actually edit: clean quads (even four-sided faces that follow the shape) with the colors baked on, or the picture as a texture with each color area as its own named material.
OBJ (clean quads, one click: Edit in Blender) or GLB via File › Import › glTF 2.0. Always at the right size.
From one picture to a print on your bed.
A picture of a toy, a jet, a pet, a car, or a logo for a coin or plaque.
One watertight solid. Prepare for Printing fits it to your printer, flattens the base, and hollows it with a drain hole to save resin.
3MFSTL with presets for Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Elegoo and Anycubic printers.
Features
TRELLIS.2 builds a full, rounded, colored model on your graphics card in about 1 to 4 minutes. Keep working while it runs.
For drawings, the AI makes a few tries and keeps the one that best matches your views. Your views keep the outline and the size.
Enter the true length once. Every export carries it, so a 15-foot car is 15 feet in Blender, your slicer or your engine.
Rebuilds any model, even a messy AI mesh, as one closed, watertight solid, and keeps its colors.
Printer presets, fit to the bed (turned if that fits better), a flat base, and hollowing with walls and a drain hole.
Pick where it's going: 3D Printing, Blender, CAD, Game Engine or iPhone AR. Format, detail and colors are set for you.
Smooth, Flatten, Fill Holes, Symmetrize, box selection, full undo and redo, and saved projects.
Logos, emblems, clip art and coins become raised, layered plaques ready to print.
Everything runs on your PC. No account, no uploads, no per-model credits.
