3D AI tools

AI that turns a prompt or a photo into a 3D model or scene. It’s a young corner and the list is short: Point-E, OpenAI’s open-source text-to-3D model; LHM, which rebuilds a person in 3D from a single image; and Luma, which captures objects and scenes in 3D with your phone. Every one I have on the site. The ones I’ve fully reviewed carry my verdict; the rest are older pages I’m bringing up to date.
