What is Trellis 2?
Trellis 2 is an AI model developed by Microsoft Research that generates detailed 3D models from a single image. Built on a 4 billion parameter architecture, it produces assets with realistic PBR materials including base color, metallic, roughness, and alpha channels.
Unlike traditional 3D modeling in Blender or Maya, Trellis 2 automates the entire process. Upload a photo, get a complete 3D model with realistic materials in 1 to 3 minutes. Nothing to install. No GPU required. Works in any browser.
Who is Trellis 2 for?
Game Development
Rapidly prototype characters, props, and environment assets from concept art or reference photos.
E-Commerce
Turn product photos into interactive 3D models for your online store, AR previews, and marketing.
Design & Architecture
Generate 3D references from sketches or photos. Visualize ideas before committing to full modeling.
3D Printing
Convert images of objects into printable STL files. Great for custom figurines, replacement parts, and art.
How Trellis 2 Works
From photo to production-ready 3D model in four simple steps
Upload Image
Provide a reference image of the object you want to convert to 3D.
O-Voxel Conversion
Instant bidirectional conversion transforms input into Omni-Voxel representation.
Latent Compression
SC-VAE encodes voxels into compact Structured Latent space with 16× compression.
Export Asset
Download your PBR-textured 3D asset in GLB, OBJ, FBX, or STL format.
