I Needed a 3D Model and I Can't Use Blender. So I Used AI — AI 3D Model Generator
I build a lot of apps and websites, and the second a project needs a 3D asset I'm stuck. I'm not an artist, and I don't have time to learn Blender. So I put Neural4D through the kind of work I actually get stuck on.
Quick disclosure up front: this video is a paid partnership with Neural4D. I used it on my own projects before I said anything about it, and the take is mine.
What I run through:
Text to 3D. I typed one sentence, a low poly 3D rocket ship, and got a clean model back. You can misspell things and it still knows what you mean.
Image to 3D. I generated a 2D image of headphones and turned it into a model. About 557,000 vertices, roughly 30 credits, two or three minutes. A good artist could have modeled that, but it would have taken a long time.
Going back and forth. Everything above is one and done, so if it's not quite right you start over. The conversational editing is different, and it's the feature I'd use most. Getting close on the first try is easy. Getting it exactly right is the hard part.
The make button. If you want the thing as a real physical object and you don't have a 3D printer, they'll print it and ship it to you. Right now that's built around the figure style models, so it won't print a rocket.
Export is GLB or FBX for game engines, or STL if you're printing it yourself.
