The Workflow

10 steps · click a step number to mark it done

Open Tripo3D and have it ready before you start

Log in to Tripo3D and open the dashboard

Upload your reference photo by clicking the Upload button and selecting the image file

Click Generate Multiviews to let Tripo create additional angles of the object for better geometry capture

Switch to Ultra mode, enable 4K textures and PBR materials in the settings panel

Set the topology option to Triangles (or Smart Low‑Poly) and leave the polygon count on Auto

Press Generate Model and wait 3–5 minutes for the high‑resolution mesh to be created

Review the result in the preview: toggle Solid/Textured view, rotate the model, and inspect face/vertex counts

If needed, use the Segmentation tool to split the mesh into editable parts

Export the model by clicking Export and choosing FBX, OBJ, or USD; download the file

Blender Blender

Import the exported file into Blender for any additional tweaks
