When to use 3D Generation Types
Vizcom’s 3D generation options give you control over how your 2D works are converted into 3D models. Different modes help you prioritize:- Speed — when you need rapid 3D previews
- Clean geometry — when meshes need to be smooth or ready for editing
- Fine details — when capturing surface intricacies matters
Outlined Modes
Standard 3D Generation
- Optimized for speed and quick visualization.
- Produces a faster, lower-resolution mesh ideal for early ideation and exploring form from multiple angles.
Detailed Smooth
- Focuses on clean topology with smoother mesh surfaces.
- Best when you want a base mesh that’s easier to edit in external 3D tools, or when smoothness and surface clarity are priorities.
Detailed Sharp
- Emphasizes intricate geometry and textural detail directly from your sketch.
- Ideal when the fidelity of design details matters for evaluation or presentation.
Multiview to 3D Generation
- Uses multiple visible sketch layers from different angles to improve 3D output control.
- Select 2–5 visible layers and activate Generate Multiview 3D in the toolbar — the resulting model leverages perspectives from each relation.
- You can also generate from a layer group, provided it contains 2–5 visible sketches.
Tips & FAQ
FAQ
- Which mode should I use first?
Start with Standard for quick previews, then switch to Detailed Smooth or Detailed Sharp based on how clean or intricate you want your final mesh. - Can I mix modes?
You can generate multiple versions from the same sketches to compare different mesh qualities.
Next Steps
- Learn 2D to 3D generation. See how to take rendered sketches and trigger 3D generation workflows.
- Experiment with multiview models. Combine multiple sketch angles for more controlled geometry.
- Export & refine. After generating, export your 3D models for editing in your preferred 3D tools or for AR/print workflows.
