Frequently Asked Questions About Imagen3D

Everything you need to know about image to 3D conversion

How long does it take to convert an image to 3D model?
Generation time varies by quality tier to match your urgency. Fast mode delivers results in approximately 20-40 seconds - perfect for quick concept verification. Pro mode completes in around 30 seconds with full texture support. Ultra mode, which provides the highest quality with advanced PBR materials, takes about 2-3 minutes. All options complete in under 3 minutes, making the image to 3D process significantly faster than traditional manual modeling.
Which quality tier should I choose for my project?
Choose based on your workflow needs: Fast mode is ideal for rapid iteration and concept previews when you just need basic geometry. Pro mode suits most production workflows, offering full texture control and multi-view support in 30 seconds. Ultra mode is designed for final deliverables where you need maximum detail, automatic textures, and optional PBR materials. Think of it as speed vs. features rather than just quality differences.
What file formats can I export after converting images to 3D?
We support all industry-standard formats: GLB (recommended for universal compatibility), OBJ (for traditional 3D software), STL (for 3D printing), GLTF (for web applications), USDZ (for iOS AR), and MP4 video previews. The platform automatically converts your model on-demand, so you can download the same model in different formats for various use cases without regenerating.
Do the generated 3D models include textures and materials?
It depends on your tier and settings. Fast mode produces clean white geometry without textures, ideal for previewing shape. Pro mode lets you toggle textures on or off - enable them when you need color and surface details. Ultra mode always includes high-quality textures by default, with an optional upgrade to PBR materials (including albedo, normal, roughness, and metallic maps) for photorealistic rendering when you convert images to 3D models.
Can I improve accuracy by uploading multiple photos?
Absolutely. Pro mode supports 3-4 images (front, back, left, and optionally right views), while Ultra mode works with 1-4 images. Multi-view input dramatically improves reconstruction quality, especially for complex objects, by capturing details from multiple angles. Single-image mode is great for quick results, but if you have photos from different angles, multi-view will give you significantly better geometry and texture accuracy in the image to 3D conversion.
Will the 3D model be perfect, or will I need to edit it?
Honest answer: our tool creates excellent starting points, not always perfect final assets. Most users can use the output directly for mockups, ads, and visualizations. For game production or precise manufacturing, you may want to refine topology, fix minor artifacts, or adjust UVs in Blender or similar software. We prioritize speed and usability - delivering a model you can immediately import and work with, saving hours compared to modeling from scratch.
What types of images work best for 3D conversion?
Best results come from clear, well-lit photos of single objects on simple/plain backgrounds. Products, furniture, vehicles, and everyday items work excellently. Use images at least 1024x1024 resolution (higher is better). Avoid overly complex scenes, transparent/reflective materials, or images with heavy shadows. For multi-view mode when converting images to 3D, ensure consistent lighting and angles across all photos.
What are PBR materials and do I need them?
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials provide realistic surface properties for professional rendering. Available only in Ultra mode, PBR includes albedo (color), normal (surface detail), roughness, and metallic maps. You need PBR if you're rendering in engines like Unity, Unreal, or advanced 3D software where lighting realism matters. For quick visualizations or 3D printing, standard textures from Pro mode or even Fast mode's geometry-only output are usually sufficient.
Do I own the commercial rights to the generated models?
Yes, completely. All 3D models generated from your uploaded images belong to you with full commercial rights. You can use them in client projects, sell them, include them in games, create marketing materials, or any other commercial application. However, you're responsible for ensuring you have rights to the original input images - don't convert copyrighted photos you don't own permission to use.
How do I import and use the model after converting image to 3D?
After generation, download your preferred format and import it directly into your software. For Blender: File > Import > select your format. For Unity/Unreal: drag the file into your assets folder. For web viewers: use the GLB format with Three.js or Model-Viewer. The models come with materials already applied, so they'll render immediately. You can then adjust lighting, apply animations, or refine geometry as needed for your specific project.
