How to make a 3D model from a picture.

If you’ve never used Sampler before, we’ll walk you through the process step by step.

You need a series of photos capturing every angle of the object you want to generate. Make sure you have balanced lighting in your image and try to avoid harsh shadows.

Open a new project in Adobe Substance 3D Sampler. Navigate to the Get Content Button and select 3D Capture. Select your photos and drop them into the 3D Capture Wizard.

Sampler uses Adobe Sensei AI tools to automatically mask your object. You may opt to mask the images manually in Photoshop instead. When your mesh is reconstructed, you can review Sampler’s work to ensure the best possible reconstruction. Use the region of interest point identification box to crop which data points are used in the final object.

When you’re ready, let Sampler process the images and create your model by pressing Submit. Sit back and let Sampler do the rest of the work.

Capturing, sampling and sharing your 3D creations with Sampler and the rest of the Substance 3D collection is a smart way to create unique and professional 3D assets. Not only does Sampler create 3D objects from photos, you can also use it to create seamless materials and HDR lighting from a single photo as well. We can’t wait to see your next project and hope you’ll include Substance 3D Sampler in your creative workflow.
