Image to OBJ

OBJ is the most widely readable mesh format, so a relief in OBJ opens in almost any 3D package, from Blender and ZBrush to older CAD software, ready for sculpting further.

How to use the image to obj

  1. 1Add a pictureDrop a PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG. A sample image is preloaded so you can see the result straight away.
  2. 2Tune depth and detailSlide depth for how far shapes rise, and detail for how fine the mesh is. The 3D preview updates live.
  3. 3Export OBJ or STL or GLBSTL comes out watertight and 100 mm wide, ready for your slicer.

Tips for better results

  • Bring the OBJ into ZBrush or Blender's sculpt mode to refine the relief by hand.
  • Turn detail down if your software struggles with dense meshes.

Taking the OBJ further

  • In ZBrush or Blender's sculpt mode, the relief makes a ready-made base for adding hand-sculpted detail.
  • The OBJ is a single closed mesh, which keeps boolean operations in CAD tools simple.
  • OBJ is text, so large reliefs make large files. Zip them before emailing.
  • Need colours? Use image to GLB instead; OBJ materials don't carry the texture in this export.
