AI Is Turning Your Photos Into 3D Models

We explore the revolution in 3D modeling driven by generative AI. Learn how tools like Meshy and Tripo AI use multi-view synthesis to create spatially consistent assets, the difference between traditional mesh modeling and Gaussian Splatting, and why "clean topology" is the new frontier. We also discuss the democratization of game development, the "asset flip" controversy, and the shifting role of human artists in a world of AI-generated worlds.
