Four angles, so the far side is seen rather than guessed

Multi-view to 3D

Front, left, back and right. A single-image reconstruction infers everything the camera could not see; supplying the other sides converts the largest guessed region into an observed one.

What it does

Named slots, not a pile of files

Each picture goes in a labelled box — front, left, back, right — so the engine knows which angle it is looking at rather than inferring it from the order you happened to upload in.

The back view is the one that matters

It is the single most valuable image you can add. The rear of a single-image model is the largest inferred surface, and it is where reconstructions look worst.

Available on every engine that generates

Zetta N1, N2.5 and Np1 all accept the same four slots, so choosing multi-view does not narrow which engine you can run it on.

Partial sets are fine

Two good views beat four bad ones. A front and a back is a meaningful improvement on a front alone.

How it works

  1. Photograph or render the sidesSame subject, same lighting, same distance. Consistency between the views matters more than the quality of any one of them.
  2. Fill the slots you haveDrop each image into its labelled box. Leave the ones you do not have empty rather than guessing.
  3. GenerateThe engine reconstructs from the set rather than from one picture and its own assumptions.

What people use it for

  • Any object that will be seen from more than one side
  • Products and props photographed on a turntable
  • Characters, where the back of the head is otherwise invented
  • Anything with an asymmetric back — a rucksack, a machine, a vehicle

What it cannot do

  • Four slots, not more. Extra angles beyond these have nowhere to go
  • Views that disagree produce a confused mesh — different lighting or a moved subject is worse than fewer images
  • It does not fix the underlying limits. Glass, chrome and thin structures are hard from any number of angles
  • The top and bottom are still inferred; the slots cover the sides
