In the world of extended reality (XR), the creation of realistic 3D content has always been a challenging endeavour. In this article, we’re showing you how simple, fast and affordable it is for anyone, regardless of their 3D modeling skills to make a digital 3D model with Alpha3D AI Model Generator.

So, whether you’re looking to create content for AR, virtual reality (VR), a gaming environment or any other 3D platform, join us as we uncover the magic behind Alpha3D AI and how it’s making 3D model creation accessible to all.

How to create a 3D model with Alpha3D

Alpha3D offers a solution to the complexities of 3D content creation by enabling users to convert text or 2D images of real-world objects into 3D models seamlessly.

Text to 3D model generaton

Firstly, we’re going to focus on the text to 3D model generation feature and generate a 3D model of a hamburger.

Now let’s jump right into it:

  1. Head to Alpha3D app
  2. Click on “Add a new project”
  3. Now describe the object you want to create in 3D. We’re going to use a simple prompt “hamburger”
  4. Hit the “Generate” button

Depending on the complexity, it will take from a few seconds to a minute for your 3D model to be generated.

Your 3D model has now been created. Go to “All projects” and click on the model card. You can interact with the 3D model and download it in glb format immediately.

2D image to 3D model generation

Using a 2D image as an input to generate a 3D model works similarly to the text to 3D model feature. The only difference is that for the time being, the 2D to 3D AI model, is only trained on two object categories: shoes and furniture.

Here’s how to create a 3D model using 2D image as an input:

    1. As with text to 3D, you’ll start from creating a new project.
    2. Make sure to select the 2D to 3D AI method and picking the correct category. In this case, we’re switching the method to 2D to 3D shoes.

Depending on the complexity, it will take from a few seconds to a minute for your 3D model to be generated.

Your 3D model has now been created. Go to “All projects” and click on the model card. You can interact with the 3D model and download it in glb format immediately.

 

Why make 3D models with Alpha3D?

  • At least 10 times faster than traditional 3D model creation methods. Depending on the complexity, takes Alpha3D AI Model Generator a few seconds to a few minutes to create a 3D model from text or image input.
  • It’s up to 100 times cheaper. As opposed to traditional methods, where the price per 3D model can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars, Alpha3D charges $1 per 3D model. Your first 50 models are always free.
  • It’s accessible. You don’t need to be a seasoned 3D designer to create 3D models. Alpha3D is designed to be intuitive, allowing anyone, regardless of their expertise, to transform text or 2D images into lifelike 3D assets with ease.
