AI 3D Model Generation Workflow — End-to-End Guide

A complete workflow has six stages: source preparation → settings → AI processing → quality review → post-processing → final export.

Stage 1: Source Preparation

Use well-lit, high-resolution photos (≥512px). Subject fills 60%+ of frame. Plain background. For prompts: be specific — "detailed dragon figurine with spread wings" not "a dragon."

Stage 2: Generation Settings

Format: STL for printing, OBJ for CAD, GLB for web. Quality: High (200K faces) for final, Standard (50K) for drafts. Model: Fast (15-25s) or Quality (30-45s).

Stage 3: AI Processing

Pipeline runs on Cloudflare Workers: image analysis → depth estimation → mesh reconstruction → optimization. Monitor progress: pending → processing → completed.

Stage 4: Quality Review

Use the 3D viewer: rotate, toggle wireframe, zoom. If unsatisfactory: better image, higher quality, more specific prompt, or switch Fast↔Quality.

Stage 5: Post-Processing

Printing: import STL into slicer, orient, add supports. CAD: import OBJ, clean topology. Games: import GLB, set up LODs and colliders.
