Image-to-3D
This workflow can automatically convert 2D images into 3D models. Users only need to provide the image URL to generate high-quality 3D models, which are then automatically saved. By combining AI technology with online services, the process supports manual or scheduled triggers, significantly improving efficiency. It is suitable for e-commerce, game development, education and training, and design creation, greatly reducing the time cost and technical barriers of 3D modeling, allowing users to quickly obtain 3D visual materials.

Workflow Name
Image-to-3D
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow enables the automatic conversion of 2D images into 3D models. By integrating AI generation technology with various online services, users only need to provide the image URL to generate high-quality 3D models in .glb format. The models are automatically uploaded and saved for convenient subsequent use and sharing. The process is highly automated, supporting manual triggers or scheduled runs, significantly improving efficiency.
Core Problems Addressed
Traditional 3D modeling is time-consuming and requires specialized skills. The Image-to-3D workflow leverages AI to automatically generate 3D models, reducing the need for professional expertise and minimizing time costs, thereby enabling rapid conversion and management from images to 3D models.
Application Scenarios
