Hey prompt masters,
welcome back to our channel. Today we're transforming
our AI artwork into 3D models. Have you ever
wondered what your favorite AI creations would look
like in three dimensions? Well wonder no more because here's a
fun open source tool that does just that. If you're eager to give
this a whirl, you can find a Kaggle notebook ready
to go in the description and pinned comment
below. And if you're feeling a bit daring and have a
powerful graphics card, you might even want to try running the app
locally. For this video, we'll be using a Jupyter notebook on
Kaggle. To get started, just hit that run button next
to the first code cell. Make sure your
notebook is set up to use a GPU, turn on file
persistence if you'd like, and ensure it has Internet access. While
the installation may take about 10 minutes, why not grab your
favorite beverage and start dreaming up the perfect
image for your 3D model while you wait. I'm
assuming you already have your preferred way of
generating AI images, and if you need a bit
of guidance, we've got a selection of tutorials
in our previous videos to help you create stunning
AI artwork. Once the installation is complete,
it's time to start up the web UI. Just click
that run button and wait a bit for the models to
download. When the app says it's running on a
local URL, hit that long remote Mo link to launch
the interactive web UI. Here you can either
select from the sample images provided or
upload your own creation. I'm itching to see
our little cup logo in glorious 3D so that's
what I'll be choosing. Click generate and let
the magic unfold. You'll get 6 images, each
showcasing the object from a different angle. In
the current version, these will be overwritten
every time you run the generation process.
So, when you're happy with the output, either
move to the next step, or save a copy of the
result. Now let's make that 3D model. I'll stop the
UI and move on to the mesh generation step.
We have two options here and I'll go with instant
NSR for a more detailed result. Once this step
is complete, you'll find a copy of the result
in the outputs folder. There's a bunch of files here, including
a short video of the model in action. The mesh is stored in
a .obj file and to view it, you'll need a 3D viewer
or editor. I personally went with MeshLab and
you can grab it from the download link in the
description. So, without further ado, here's how our cup turned out.
There's definitely room for some touch-ups, especially when viewing
it from angles not in the original image. But
turning AI images into 3D objects with free
software is a blast. I hope you'll have fun with
this one and I can't wait to see the incredible
3D creations you come up with. Thanks for
hanging out today and I'll catch you in the next
video. Until then, keep creating and enjoy your
3D AI-generated world.
