Stability AI License

Turning one photo of an object into a 3D model usually means shooting it from many angles. SV3D, offered through Stability AI License, skips that.

Stability AI License is a generative AI licensing option that gives you access to open models such as SV3D, with the benefit of self-hosting.

SV3D takes a single object image and produces novel multi-views of that object, and those views can then be used with SV3D to generate 3D meshes.

There are two variants.

SV3D_u generates orbital videos from a single image without camera conditioning, which suits simple 3D visualizations.

SV3D_p accepts single images and orbital views and creates 3D video along camera paths you specify, so it fits more complex work.

Commercial use requires a Stability AI Membership.

For non-commercial projects, you can download the model weights from Hugging Face and read the accompanying research paper.

That makes the tool a reasonable starting point for researchers and hobbyists testing image to 3D model generation.
