Image to 3D
A photo, sketch or reference image is converted into a textured model based on its shape and proportions.

Skybox generation
Plus and Pro plans add skybox generation, with Pro adding a priority queue and priority support.
What users say
Pros
- Generated models work well in Blender projects, enough to justify a premium plan.
- Figures for tabletop games come out well enough to justify a paid subscription.
- Written ideas turn into 3D prototypes with no 3D modeling knowledge, and an API is exposed.
Cons
- Generations come out inaccurate, and generated 3D models cannot be edited.
- Shapes for 3D printing stay too far off target without advanced 3D modeling.
- The interface has a steep learning curve, and templates lean heavily on weapons.
- Retexturing can stall partway and never finish.
- A simple SVG cannot be placed onto a rectangle base.
- Cards were charged after cancellation, and test-only purchases went unrefunded.
- Downloads advertised as free ended up behind a paywall after a wait.
