Trellis 2

Overview

Trellis 2 is a next-generation AI-powered 3D model generator developed by Microsoft Research that converts 2D images into high-quality 3D models. Leveraging the powerful Structured LATent (SLAT) representation, it delivers exceptional detail and versatility, outperforming previous image-to-3D methods. The entire process runs on cloud infrastructure, requiring no local GPU, and produces a professional-grade 3D asset in just 1–3 minutes.

The tool supports multiple output formats tailored to different workflows. Users can instantly download GLB files for web viewers and most 3D software, while the underlying technology also generates 3D Gaussians for efficient storage and meshes directly importable into Blender, Unity, and Unreal Engine. This flexibility ensures seamless integration into existing pipelines, whether for game development, product design, or creative projects.

Trellis 2 empowers creators to transform a single still image into a fully realized 3D model with minimal effort. Its intuitive interface allows real-time preview and straightforward configuration of quality and style settings. By eliminating the need for specialized hardware and complex manual modeling, it democratizes 3D content creation and dramatically accelerates prototyping and asset production.

As a cloud-based solution, Trellis 2 is designed for both professionals and hobbyists alike. Its combination of speed, accuracy, and compatibility makes it an essential tool for anyone seeking to bridge the gap between 2D imagery and immersive 3D experiences.
