3D Tools
Generate 3D models from single images, multiple images, or text descriptions
3D Tools
Generate 3D models and assets using Kolbo.AI's 3D generation tools with three different input modes.
Overview
Kolbo.AI's 3D Tools provide three modes for creating 3D models:
- Single Image to 3D: Generate 3D from one image (max 1 image)
- Multi-Image to 3D: Create 3D from multiple angles (max 4 images)
- Text to 3D: Generate 3D models from text descriptions
Generation Modes
Single Image to 3D
Generate a 3D model from a single image:
- Upload 1 image
- AI infers 3D structure from the single view
- Generates complete 3D model
- Fast workflow
Best for:
- Product shots with clear views
- Objects with simple geometry
- Quick 3D mockups
- Single-angle references
Multi-Image to 3D
Create more accurate 3D from multiple angles:
- Upload up to 4 images
- Different angles and perspectives of the same object
- AI reconstructs 3D from multiple views
- More accurate and detailed results
Best for:
- Detailed products
- Complex objects
- Photorealistic models
- Professional 3D assets
Tips:
- Capture object from different angles
- Consistent lighting across images
- Include front, side, and back views
- 4 images recommended for best results
Text to 3D
Generate 3D models from text descriptions:
- Describe the object in text
- AI generates 3D model from description
- No images required
- Creative freedom
Best for:
- Concept visualization
- Imagined objects
- Quick ideation
- Creative projects without reference images
Supported File Formats
Image Upload:
- JPEG/JPG
- PNG
- WebP
- HEIC/HEIF
Maximum file size: 20MB per image
Advanced Settings
T-Pose / A-Pose
Generate the model in A-pose or T-pose:
- Ideal for character models
- Designed for rigging and animation
- Makes character animation easier
- Toggle on/off
Target Polycount
Control model detail level:
- Adjustable polygon count
- Default: 30,000 polygons
- Higher = more detail, larger file
- Lower = faster, smaller file
PBR (Physically Based Rendering)
Generate realistic material maps:
- Metallic maps
- Roughness maps
- Normal maps
- Realistic material properties
- Must be OFF for sculpture art style
Prompt Expansion
AI enhancement of your text prompt:
- AI expands your description
- Adds detail for better results
- Improves generation quality
- Toggle on/off
Topology
Mesh topology type:
- Triangle: Standard topology
- Quad: Quad-based topology (better for animation/subdivision)
Symmetry
Model symmetry options:
- Off: No symmetry enforced
- Auto: AI decides if symmetry is needed
- On: Force symmetrical model
Art Style
Visual style of the model:
- Realistic: Photorealistic materials and textures
- Sculpture: Artistic sculpture style (PBR must be OFF)
Texture Prompt
Optional prompt for textures:
- Describe desired textures
- Separate from main prompt
- Refine material appearance
- Optional field
Generation Workflow
Single Image Workflow

- Wait for processing
- View, download, or use the 3D model
Multi-Image Workflow
- Select "Multi-Image to 3D" mode
- Upload up to 4 images from different angles
- Enter optional prompt
- Configure settings
- Choose AI model
- Click Generate
- Processing time varies with image count
- View and export result
Text to 3D Workflow
- Select "Text to 3D" mode
- Write descriptive prompt
- Optionally add texture prompt
- Configure settings
- Choose AI model
- Click Generate
- AI creates model from description

Best Practices
Image Preparation
For Best Results:
- High-resolution images
- Clear object focus
- Good, even lighting
- Clean background
- Multiple angles (multi-image mode)
Avoid:
- Blurry images
- Poor lighting
- Complex backgrounds
- Extreme angles
Prompt Writing
Effective Text-to-3D Prompts:
- Be specific and detailed
- Describe shape and proportions
- Mention materials and textures
- Include style references
- Add detail keywords
Example prompts:
- "A red ceramic coffee mug with a smooth glossy finish and a curved handle"
- "Modern minimalist wooden chair with straight legs and a cushioned seat"
- "Fantasy sword with ornate gold handle and engraved steel blade"
Settings Selection
Choose appropriate settings:
- T-pose for characters that will be animated
- Higher polycount for detailed models
- PBR on for realistic materials
- PBR off for sculpture art style
- Quad topology for animation workflows
Tips for Success
- Start Simple: Begin with single image mode to learn
- Quality Input: Use high-quality, clear images
- Multiple Angles: Use multi-image for better results
- Clear Descriptions: Detailed prompts for text-to-3D
- Test Settings: Experiment with different configurations
- Check Preview: Review in 3D viewer before downloading
- Iterate: Generate variations if needed
- Optimize: Adjust polycount for your use case
Limitations
Image Quality
- Better input images = better results
- Low-quality images may produce poor models
- Lighting affects reconstruction quality
Complex Objects
- Very complex objects may be simplified
- Transparent/reflective materials challenging
- Best results with solid, well-defined objects
Processing Time
- Single image: Fastest
- Multi-image: Longer (more images = more time)
- Text-to-3D: Varies by complexity
- High polycount: Takes longer
File Sizes
- Higher polycount = larger files
- PBR maps add to file size
- Consider target platform requirements
Troubleshooting
Generation Failed:
- Check image quality and format
- Verify file size under 20MB
- Try different AI model
- Simplify prompt (text-to-3D)
- Contact support if issue persists
Poor Results:
- Use higher quality images
- Try multi-image mode for better accuracy
- Adjust settings (polycount, PBR)
- Write more detailed prompts
- Generate multiple variations
Model Issues:
- Check in 3D viewer first
- Verify all angles look correct
- Try different topology setting
- Adjust polycount if needed
- Use PBR appropriately
Credit Costs
3D generation consumes credits based on:
- Selected AI model
- Generation mode
- Settings complexity
- Credit cost displayed before generation
