🎯 What is EZdepth?

EZdepth is a one-click Blender add-on that uses AI to generate high-quality depth maps from images, turning your 2D pictures into 3D displacement-ready surfaces.

Whether you want to:

• Create 3D geometry from portraits

• Sculpt product reliefs from reference photos

• Add displacement and bump detail to stylized art

EZdepth does it instantly using Meta's Depth Anything Small model — all inside Blender, no setup required.

📦 What’s Included

• depth_exe_main.exe — runs the AI model offline

• depth_anything_small.onnx — the licensed Meta ONNX model

• Full EZdepth Blender add-on (__init__.py, depth_utils.py)

• README.md and LICENSE.txt

• Sidebar panel, no coding required
