Game designers use AI to turn sketches into rough 3D models

An independent game developer planning an underwater adventure might need a coral-covered treasure chest, a sea creature and a few plants just to see whether the setting works. Instead of modeling each object by hand, the developer can use artificial intelligence to generate rough 3D versions from a description or reference image.Meshy is one example of a browser-based tool that offers text-to-3D and image-to-3D generation. Both approaches give creators a model they can rotate and inspect before committing to a design. The difference is what they start with: a description of something they want to explore or an image of something they already have in mind.Starting with a prompt or an imageA text prompt can spell out details such as shape, material and style. “A weathered brass observatory with circular windows and a telescope on the roof” gives the tool more to work with than “make a building.” The result gives the creator a way to assess the proportions and silhouette, though details
