Getting Started with TRELLIS 3D: Your Gateway to AI-Powered 3D Creation
TRELLIS 3D is revolutionizing the way we create 3D assets by offering powerful image-to-3D conversion capabilities. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know to start creating stunning 3D models using TRELLIS 3D.
Creating Your First 3D Model
TRELLIS 3D provides two main approaches for creating 3D assets:
Single Image to 3D Conversion
-
Preparing Your Image
- Use a clear, high-resolution image
- Ensure good lighting and object visibility
- Choose images with clear object boundaries
- Avoid complex backgrounds or multiple objects
-
Using the Interface
- Visit the TRELLIS web interface
- Click "Choose File" to upload your image
- Select "Single Image" mode
- Click "Submit" to start the conversion process
-
Viewing Results
- Wait for the processing to complete
- Use the 3D viewer to examine your model
- Rotate and zoom to inspect different angles
- Download the generated 3D model
Multi-View to 3D Conversion
-
Image Preparation
- Capture multiple views of the same object
- Ensure consistent lighting across images
- Take photos from different angles
- Maintain similar distance from the object
-
Conversion Process
- Select "Multi View" mode in the interface
- Upload your set of images
- Submit for processing
- Wait for the model generation to complete

Best Practices and Tips
-
Image Quality Guidelines
- Use well-lit, clear images
- Avoid blurry or low-resolution photos
- Keep the subject centered in the frame
- Minimize background distractions
-
Optimal Results
- For single-view conversion:
- Choose the most representative angle
- Ensure the main features are visible
- Use images with good contrast
- For multi-view conversion:
- Capture consistent angles (e.g., every 45 degrees)
- Maintain similar lighting conditions
- Use at least 4-8 different viewpoints
-
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Don't use images with multiple objects
- Avoid extremely complex or detailed subjects
- Skip images with heavy shadows
- Don't use images with reflective surfaces
