Multi-Image to 3D

Create a 3D model from four orthographic views (Front, Left, Back, Right) for better shape accuracy than single-image generation.

🔒 Multi-Image to 3D is a Pro feature.

🧠 What is Multi-Image to 3D?

Multi-Image to 3D (Multi-View) generates a 3D model by combining four matching views of the same object:

• Front

• Left

• Back

• Right

This reduces guessing in side/back areas and improves overall shape consistency.

🚀 How It Works

1

Prepare views

• Prepare 4 views of the same object: Front, Left, Back, Right.

2

Upload images

• Upload each image into the matching slot (Drag & Drop or Upload).

3

Choose a preset

• Choose a preset under Optimize for:

  • High Quality

  • Low Poly

  • 3D Print

4

Generate

• Click Generate.

5

Review & export

• Review the result in the viewer (textured/solid/wireframe) and export when ready.

Only .glb, .usdz, and .blend stores textures in the object.

---

✅ Best use cases

• Props and products where side/back shape matters (tools, furniture, devices)

• Reference-based modeling from orthographic sheets

• Fast 3D printing prototypes using the 3D Print preset

• Objects with unclear depth in a single image

🔍Tips for best results

Keep views consistent (most important)

• Use true orthographic renders if possible.

• If using photos, keep the same:

  • camera distance

  • focal length

  • framing

  • object position and scale

Consistent views are the single biggest factor for success.

Use simple backgrounds and lighting

• Plain background (no clutter)

• Even lighting with minimal shadows

• Avoid strong reflections and highlights

Keep the object unchanged

• One object only

• No pose/state changes between views (open vs closed, rotated parts, etc.)

• Don’t crop the object

---

⚠️ Limitations to Know

• Mismatched angles between views (can cause twisting/bulging/missing parts)

• Reflective or transparent materials (glass, chrome)

• Very thin details (wires, chains)

• Facial features and characters may look rough or “off”

• Generated geometry is not parametric — models can’t be edited with sliders like in the Template Editor

• Complex geometry may need cleanup if used in games.

• Snapshots, palettes, and toon shaders are only available in Template Editor

📦 Export formats

Supported export formats:

• .glb, .obj, .ply, .stl, .fbx, .usd, .usdz, .blend

Recommended formats:

• ✅ GLB (best default)

• 🧩 OBJ (broad compatibility)

• 🖨️ STL (3D printing)

🔁 Related tools

Use Multi-Image to 3D alongside other Sloyd tools:

• Text to 3D: best for fast ideation without references

• Image to 3D: best when you only have one image

• Text to Image: best for fast concepting and reference generation

• Template Editor: best for clean, editable, game-ready assets

🌍 Who’s It For?

Multi-Image to 3D is best for anyone who needs the shape to be closer to the real object than a single image can provide:

• Game devs: better silhouettes and fewer “made-up” side/back details for props

• 3D artists: a faster starting point when you already have reference views

• 3D printing hobbyists: get higher quality geometry using the 3D Print preset

• Concept artists: turn orthographic sheets into a usable 3D blockout

• Students/Educators: Create 3D without touching complex software
