May 2026 Update: The hosting and import steps in this post (OptimizeGLB.com + paste-URL) are no longer required. 3DStreet now has a built-in custom asset upload system: drag your GLB straight into the editor and it is automatically optimized, stored in your account, and placed in the scene. The AI generation workflow below still applies — just skip steps 4 and 5 and drag-and-drop the downloaded GLB instead. See the updated docs on adding custom models.

But what if you could turn any object into a 3D model with just a couple of photos and some AI magic? Let's explore how to do exactly that!

Greetings! I'm Marc Schlossberg, and I've been working alongside Danny Pimentel and graduate student Luke Walker at the University of Oregon on an exciting project: crafting augmented reality (AR) landscapes for our streets.

So, let's roll up our sleeves and get our hands digitally dirty!
