3D from Gemini 2.5

I used Google AI Studio to generate a 3D objects from a 2D images  --  using the Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental 03-25 model -- by generating code for OpenSCAD (though the results are not always pretty):

BOCCIONI

I downloaded the famous sculpture by Umberto Boccioni -- Unique Forms of Continuity in Space -- distorted it, and then used AI to regenerate that distortion into a 3D figure:

After distorting Umberto Boccioni's sculpture with SculptGL and Midjourney -- I uploaded the 2D result to Google AI Studio and generated the OpenSCAD code with the Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental 03-25 model:

prompt: "Write OpenSCAD code for this figure.
The model will be 3D printed."


Then I uploaded that code into OpenSCAD Playground online and generated a 3D GLB object:

The result was not so pretty, but it was amazing that I could generate a 3D printable object from a 2D image just by using an LLM (Large Language Model).


REDMAN

Rinse and Repeat.  I used the same process to generate a new 3D object from a figure that I originally drew in Paint 3D in 2021:

FROG MODEL

Again, I turned a 2D image of a 3D figure that I drew in 2021 into a similar 3D figure using Google AI Studio, and then even put that 3D result into AUGMENTED REALITY:

Interestingly, it was Google AI Studio
 that labeled my figure "Frog Model"

I also took another 3D figure I drew in Blender in 2021, converted the 2D image into 3D again using Google AI Studio, and 3D printed it at Quelab:

3D PRINT

Printed on a Creality



The beginning of the 3D print

From AI into the Physical World!

FAIL

The Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental 03-25 model in Google AI Studio generated errors in the OpenSCAD code when I tried to generate a 3D object of the origami javelina below -- too many folds or scales?  I was not smart enough to correct the mistake(s):

AI Origami Animals
I could not get Google AI Studio
to turn this 2D origami image into a 3D object

The HORIZON

Soon MCP will take over to use many AI programs together, and make generating AI ART somewhat smoother
