# Modelado

Windows · Desktop app · Windows Native

Turning a photo into a 3D model usually means uploading it to a service and paying per mesh. Modelado runs open models on your own GPU or CPU instead: TripoSR for a closed object with sides and back, Depth Anything for a relief with a base for the printer. It then simplifies, smooths and fills holes in the mesh, sharpens the texture, and saves GLB, OBJ, STL or PLY.

## What comes next

From docs/ROADMAP.md at 4b33018.

### Block C — Existing code wired into the window

- 📋 A relief's GLB carries its geometry at full width: float positions, normals and UVs and 32-bit indices

### Block I — Blender integration: AI tools for existing Blender models

- ⏳ From Blender, a texture cannot be sharpened with AI or remade from a prompt, nor sent to Meshy to remesh or retexture
- 📋 Blender's Generate from photo offers only the local operations, not Meshy AI's image to 3D

## Recently shipped

- 2026-10-26 · MOD63: A GLB with a photo texture weighs megabytes: the texture is always embedded as a lossless PNG
- 2026-10-26 · MOD62: Simplify takes minutes on a relief with a base, where a TripoSR mesh of the same size takes a second
- 2026-10-26 · MOD61: The UI cases on the real models are rebuilt by hand for each task and deleted, so nothing re-checks them
- 2026-10-26 · MOD60: The app crashes on start when a cloud key is already stored, so a key saved in About ends every later launch
- 2026-10-26 · MOD59: An imported GLB or OBJ whose colour is a material's own (baseColorFactor, Kd) or one of several textures opens grey
- 2026-10-26 · MOD58: The UI cases run as one test that now takes over ten minutes, so the 10m hang bound ends a green run as hung
- 2026-10-26 · MOD57: CI on Linux fails since MOD23: removing a downloaded model accepts a name with a backslash there
- 2026-10-26 · MOD53: A reconstruction and a model download have never been seen in the status bar's chips
