Creatives, educators, and hobbyists wanting a solution to turn 2D images into usable 3D content
About Copilot 3D
Copilot 3D is an experimental, AI-powered tool available in Microsoft’s Copilot Labs that enables users to convert a single 2D photo (JPG or PNG, max 10 MB) into a fully rendered 3D model (GLB format) without any prior experience. Designed for creative simplicity, it makes 3D generation accessible, requiring only an image upload and returning a downloadable 3D output. The tool is globally available at no extra cost to anyone with a personal Microsoft account, and the resulting models support applications like game design, animation, 3D printing, virtual and augmented reality, as well as digital content creation. While Copilot 3D excels at rendering common inanimate objects, like furniture or everyday items, it often performs poorly with complex subjects such as animals or human figures. The system includes guardrails that prevent the modeling of copyrighted or sensitive imagery, and it stores creations for 28 days.

Secret Sauce 3D
Secret Sauce 3D is an AI-powered 3D production tool designed to accelerate the workflow of professional 3D artists by automating several time-consuming stages of the modeling pipeline. It acts as an AI “copilot” that assists artists in creating and refining 3D assets while keeping every step editable and compatible with industry workflows. Users can generate high-polygon base meshes directly from 2D concept art or reference images, allowing them to quickly produce a foundational model that can be refined instead of starting from scratch. It includes automated retopology tools with adjustable optimization levels so artists can control polygon density and geometry structure based on the requirements of game engines, animation pipelines, or rendering workflows. It also automatically generates UV maps and allows users to customize them, providing a strong starting point for texture painting and asset optimization.

Shapen
Shapen is an innovative platform that transforms images into detailed 3D models, facilitating rendering, animation, or 3D printing. Users can generate images from textual descriptions, refine them by exploring creative variations while preserving the original shape, and ultimately create 3D models across various categories, including characters, animals, vehicles, architecture, electronics, and more. This process enables the visualization of complex designs, such as a futuristic colonization spacecraft designed as a hybrid chicken, streamlined for interstellar travel. Shapen's capabilities cater to diverse creative needs, offering a seamless transition from conceptual ideas to tangible 3D representations.
