Welcome to the Studio!

Backflip Studio makes it easy to quickly create in 3D. Our core technology is a generative AI model that enables you to produce high resolution 3D models from 2D images. We also offer powerful tools to create and prepare images for later use in the image-to-3D generator.

In this guide you’ll find all the tips you’ll need to quickly get familiar with Studio and start creating your own 3D models. Let’s dive in!

Many different ways to create in 3D

Generating a 3D model in Studio always requires a 2D image from which to start, but you have the flexibility to create in the following different ways, accommodating different skills and phases of the your design process.

Image-to-3D

If you already have an image you want to convert to a 3D model, you can simply upload and import it into Studio and quickly convert it to 3D.

Sketch to 3D

If you’re feeling sketchy, Studio empowers to quickly get to 3D designs from detailed hand sketches too. You can sketch directly in the Studio app on a blank canvas, or import an image from your favorite sketching tool.

AI-assisted sketch-to-3D

Not everyone is a talented 2D artist — if your drawing skills are a little rusty, there’s an AI-assisted sketching mode (with multiple different ‘strengths’ of AI-assistance) that can help you create exactly the image you want, with a text prompt to help guide the interpretation of your sketch.

With low-strength AI assistance, you can clean up shaky lines in your sketch (left) to produce a sharper image (right).

At higher AI strengths, the AI sketch assistant will take more creative license, while remaining guided by your sketch and text input.

Text-to-image-to-3D

Need inspiration? You can create a brand new set of images with a text prompt, then choose your favorite (or try again with a different random seed).
