Blender users have a new tool at their disposal: a free addon designed to convert 2D images into 3D objects. Available on BlenderMarket, this addon is tailored for artists looking to streamline their workflow by transforming flat images into geometry with minimal manual input.
The addon works by using edge detection algorithms to trace shapes in the uploaded image, producing a base mesh that can be used as-is or further edited in Blender. This makes it a valuable addition for VFX artists, game developers, and designers who need fast object generation from concept art, references, or even photographs.
The video explains the addon in detail, noting how the tool simplifies the creation of 3D assets by avoiding manual modeling steps. Artists can tweak parameters like edge detection sensitivity, threshold levels, and output resolution to refine the generated mesh, making it a versatile option for a range of production needs.
As for the price, the addon is completely free, though the creator offers a “pay what you want” model, allowing users to contribute financially if they find the tool useful. This flexibility may appeal to freelancers and studios alike, particularly in a fast-paced production environment where budget control is essential.
