Seed3D AI makes 3D model generation accessible to everyone. This tutorial walks you through the entire process from image upload to 3D model export.
Getting Started
Seed3D AI is a web-based platform — no software installation required. Create an account and you'll receive free credits to start generating.
Step 1: Prepare Your Image
For best results: - Use high-resolution images (at least 1024x1024) - Ensure good lighting with minimal shadows - Photograph the object against a clean background - Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP (up to 10MB)
Step 2: Upload and Configure
Upload your image to the Seed3D platform. Select your preferred output format: - **GLB**: Universal format, works everywhere - **OBJ**: Classic 3D format for traditional workflows - **USD/USDZ**: Professional format for Pixar pipelines and Apple devices
Step 3: Generate
Click generate and wait 5-30 minutes. The AI processes your image through multiple stages: visual understanding, scale estimation, geometry generation, texture mapping, and PBR material application.
Step 4: Review and Export
Preview your 3D model in the browser viewer. Rotate, zoom, and inspect the geometry and textures. Download when satisfied.
Pro Tips
1. Multiple angles of the same object improve accuracy 2. Products with text/logos render well thanks to Seed3D's text preservation 3. Use the batch processing feature for large asset libraries 4. Combine with Elser AI for animated presentations of your 3D assets
