Turn a single reference image into a textured 3D mesh. Output is a watertight .glb ready for game engines, AR, or 3D printing pipelines.
About this model

-Developer documentation
Upload a reference image: Clean, well-lit photos against a plain background produce the best results.
Choose texture on/off: Texture-on retains the colours from your image; texture-off gives a clean white mesh for retexturing.
Optionally cap polygons: Use face_limit (48-20,000) to constrain mesh complexity.
Submit: The API returns a request_id. Poll until the result includes a .glb URL.
Frequently asked
Clean, front-facing product photos against plain backgrounds give the most accurate geometry. Multi-angle reconstruction is better served by the multiview variants.
Yes - with texture enabled, the model attempts to preserve the colours and patterns from your reference image.
Yes, output is yours to use. Ensure you have rights to the source reference image.
