ONE IMAGE → ONE MODEL

Drag, Drop, Generate

Drag a picture onto the card and press Generate 3D — a few minutes later you have a real mesh with a proper texture sitting in your scene. You don’t even need to remove the background: the addon does it for you.

Four AI Engines, One Card

Three generation engines to pick from — plus Hi3D, the fourth engine, powering Enhance Detail.

TRELLIS
Fast, with lots of fine detail — the default engine and the quickest way from picture to mesh.
Pixal3D
Stays really close to the exact view in your picture — what you see is what you get.
Hunyuan
The cleanest shapes and the best textures — and the only engine that accepts extra views of your object.
02
REAL GENERATION QUALITY

Detail That Holds Up Close

A single photo becomes a full 3D head with clean topology and a painted texture — generated locally, at the face count you choose, with 1K, 2K or 4K textures.

MORE VIEWS · HUNYUAN

Show It More Angles, Get a Better Model

With the Hunyuan engine you can add extra photos of the same object — the big slot is the front, and labelled slots for Left, Right and Back show exactly which picture goes where. More views, more accurate shape and texture. (TRELLIS and Pixal3D work from a single picture.)

ENHANCE DETAIL (HI3D) & ENHANCE TEXTURE

Upgrade a Model You Already Made

Two one-click upgrades for any generated model: Enhance Detail runs the Hi3D engine directly on your existing model — adding fine surface detail and repainting the texture without regenerating the shape from scratch — while Enhance Texture sharpens and enriches the texture only.

How Long Does It Take?

Same networks, same resolution, same result on every system — your hardware only changes the time, never the quality. All times are minutes:seconds, measured with a 4K texture and 200,000 faces.

PLEASE NOTE
These times are approximate and will vary with your hardware — they can be faster or slower on your system. The "My System" row is my own experience, measured on my own machine. The "Recommended" row is an estimate for an RTX 4060-class 8 GB card, based on my tests simulating a limited system (my card capped to 8 GB VRAM and 16 GB RAM): the steps that run on the graphics card take a little over twice as long as on an RTX 4070 Ti, while the steps that run on the processor take about the same. What never changes is the result — every system produces exactly the same model and texture, only the waiting time differs.

Download Only What You Use

The AI models are big files — so the addon has a built-in Downloads tab where every engine has its own row with its name and size. You only download the engines you actually want to use, into any folder on any drive you choose.

One-Click Download
Press Download and the addon fetches every file straight from the official model pages — with a progress bar, speed and time left. Stop any time; it resumes exactly where it left off.
Or Download By Hand
Prefer your own download manager? By Hand shows every part a model needs, opens its official page and the exact folder it goes into, then Check Files verifies every file against the official fingerprint.
Never Get Lost
Pick an engine you haven’t downloaded yet and the addon tells you — one press on Go to Downloads takes you straight to the right row. Broken files are detected and re-downloaded.

What You Download

Each engine is a separate download — get only the ones you need.

ENGINE USED FOR SIZE ALSO NEEDS
TRELLIS Generate · fast, lots of fine detail 16.8 GB —
Pixal3D Generate · stays closest to your picture 25.2 GB —
Hunyuan Generate · cleanest shapes, best textures 18.6 GB —
Hunyuan More Views Extra Left / Right / Back photos 4.6 GB Hunyuan
Enhance Detail (Hi3D) Adds fine detail to an existing model 9.9 GB Hunyuan
Enhance Texture Sharpens the texture only 17.3 GB —
Everything ~90 GB

Sizes are approximate. TRELLIS, Pixal3D and Hunyuan share a few small helper models that download only once, so several engines together take a little less space than adding up the rows. Hunyuan More Views and Enhance Detail need Hunyuan downloaded too.

ENGINES & LICENCES
Image to 3D is a platform for running 3D engines. It does not include or distribute any AI model or third-party engine. Every engine is optional and is downloaded by you, only when you choose it, directly from its makers’ official pages. You can see which engines are available in the Downloads section on this page.
Each engine has its own licence, so please review the licence of any engine before you use it. All licences are listed in THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md inside the add-on.

Everything Inside

Three Quality Levels
Fast for quick tests, High for most work, Ultra for maximum detail (Ultra needs a 12 GB card — on 8 GB it automatically uses High).
Your Face Count
Set exactly how detailed the mesh should be, from 5,000 up to 2,000,000 faces. 200,000 is a great start.
Texture Control
Texture on or off (shape-only is much faster), at 1K, 2K or 4K — and a Seed to get a different version of the same picture.
Blender Never Freezes
The engines run as separate background processes — you keep working while the model generates, with live progress on the card.
Clean Card UI
Everything lives on one clean card in the viewport, in the same style as Auto Unwrap and Modeling Toolkit — only the settings that actually matter.
Private by Design
Your images never leave your computer — everything runs on your own GPU, offline after the models are downloaded.

Recommended System

OPERATING SYSTEM
IMPORTANT · NVIDIA GPU REQUIRED
Image to 3D runs only on NVIDIA graphics cards. If your computer has an AMD graphics card (GPU), the addon will not work.
An AMD processor (CPU) is completely fine — my own system runs on an AMD CPU. The limitation is only about AMD graphics cards.

Release Notes

Every update is free for everyone who owns Image to 3D.

v1.1.8
LATEST
● Enhance Detail now works cleanly on TRELLIS and Pixal3D models. Before, it could leave many small holes and see-through spots on the surface; these are fixed.
● Pixal3D models no longer come out broken after Enhance Detail.
● Generated models now come with joined vertices, so there are no hidden cracks along the texture seams. Sculpting, smoothing and modifiers work without tearing the mesh, and the texture stays the same.
● Clearer message when the NVIDIA driver is too old: instead of “No NVIDIA GPU found”, the add-on now tells you to update the driver to version 580 or newer.
● Fixed Hunyuan More Views (multi-view) failing with “No module named ‘hy3dgen’”.
v1.1.6
● New built-in texture baking engine, with no extra components to install.
● Hunyuan code is now downloaded from Tencent’s official source during setup, together with its licence.
● “Powered by Hi3D 1.0” credit added to Enhance Detail.
● New THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md with every engine and model licence.
● New × button to remove the chosen image.
● Stability improvements.
v1.1.5
● Fixed “out of GPU memory” on older graphics cards (RTX 20 / GTX 16 series). TRELLIS now runs its attention in memory-safe slices on these cards. Newer cards are unchanged.
v1.1.4
● Image to 3D is now a Blender extension, so it can be updated in one click from Superhive.
● New Update section in the panel, with Download Update, What’s New and Check for Updates.
● New Auto Update option. It is off by default.
● When the new version is installed, the old add-on copy is turned off and removed automatically.
● Your settings and Engine Folder are kept through updates, and an engine that is already installed is found automatically.
v1.1.3
● Fixed TRELLIS failing on Windows PCs with the “Mandatory ASLR” security setting turned on. The add-on now detects this and switches to a compatible mode. Results are the same, only slightly slower.
v1.1.2
● Add-on updates can now ship updated engine components and install them automatically, for example to support more graphics cards. No engine reinstall needed.
v1.1.1
● When Texture is turned off, Enhance 3D Model no longer paints a texture. It returns only the detailed shape, which is also faster.
v1.1.0
● Enhance 3D Model now keeps the full face count of the original model, about 1M faces for TRELLIS. Before, it dropped TRELLIS models to 40K faces, which made them look broken.
v1.0.9
● Fixed a white or gray texture after Enhance Texture in Solid > Texture view.
v1.0.8
● Full support for older GPUs (RTX 20 series and earlier). Fixed the “FlashAttention only supports Ampere” error, so TRELLIS and Pixal3D now run on these cards.
v1.0.7
● Improved certificate handling in the installer.
● The install log now shows whether GitHub and PyPI could be reached, which makes connection problems easier to find.
v1.0.6
● The installer now uses Windows’ own security certificates. This fixes installs where an antivirus or company network blocked downloads.
v1.0.5
● First step toward supporting older GPUs without FlashAttention, such as RTX 20 and GTX cards. The full fix is in 1.0.8.
v1.0.4
● Enhance 3D Model now supports RTX 50 series cards.
● If an older Enhance 3D Model install is found on an RTX 50 card, the add-on asks you to reinstall it.
v1.0.3
● Maintenance release. Same features as 1.0.2.
v1.0.2
● File and folder names in Japanese, Chinese, Persian and other non-English languages now work without errors.
● Engine files now update automatically when you update the add-on, so you don’t need to reinstall the engine.
● Downloading several models at once no longer causes conflicts. Downloads now run one after another.
● The System Report now shows the download status of each model.
● Fixed a UV creation error with Hunyuan on some systems.
