A SIGGRAPH Asia 2013 research demo of 3-Sweep, a tool for extracting editable 3D objects from a single photo using a few user strokes. It predates modern AI image tools.

HN recalls it as a mind-blowing pre-AI demo of 2D-to-3D object extraction.

SIGGRAPH from over a decade ago has entered the chat... ▶ this video It may not be AI, but this single video blew my mind back in *2013* and I find myself thinking about it often.

I would love to see this combined with object extraction to make 3d models from the measurements. Here's an amazing demo: ▶ this video

>SIGGRAPH from over a decade ago has entered the chat... > > ▶ this video A version of this was available in Photoshop for a long time, but I think the feature was deprecated and removed completely this year. I had used it for a few things here and there, but dedicated 3D tools were much better if you were working in that space.

That is correct. Sometime in the future, consumers will have software that can turn 2D images into simulated 3D [0]. It's still in dev mode right now, though. [0] ▶ this video

Lots of interesting research being done on this, keep an eye out for stuff from SIGGRAPH later this month. Here's an example from SIGGRAPH Asia: ▶ this video .
