Pic2Solid generates traditional editable 3D meshes (STL, OBJ, GLB) for 3D printing and CAD editing. Luma AI creates photorealistic Gaussian Splatting renders for visual capture. Different technologies for different needs.
Pic2Solid: Diffusion-based mesh reconstruction → polygon meshes with vertices, edges, faces. Editable, measurable, printable. Luma AI: NeRF + Gaussian Splatting → millions of colored 3D Gaussian functions. Photorealistic but not editable geometry.
