More RIGGING and MOTION

I found that MESHY was really good for converting 2D images into 3D objects -- and also rigging and animating them too.  They do have a free tier:

I converted and animated one of my figure drawings from April 13, 2026 -- that had first been transformed into a more Bernini-like figure with KREA.

The key is to reposition your 2D image into a T-Pose.  I did this with FLOW/NanoBanana2 (but could not get it done in Midjourney):

I asked FLOW to transform my figure

into a T-POSE

I then turned the T-POSE image into a 3D model in MESHY -- but using the MESHY 5 model, which allowed me to download the GLB file:

The MESHY 6 model gave better, more detailed, 2D-to-3D conversion results, but one needs to have a subscription to download the MESHY 6 GLB files:

The MESHY 6 model gave better conversion results

My first attempt at animation in MESHY

was not so pretty

NOTE: MESHY did a lot better job converting 2D-to-3D than Huanyuan 3D-2.1 in KREA:

Huanyuan 3D-2.1 in KREA

was good, but not as good as MESHY

NOTE: MESHY also did a better job converting 2D-to-3D than Hunyuan 2.1Image-to-3D Simplified -- which we did with the jaguar when we ran  the program locally at Quelab on a computer with 12 GBs of VRAM:

With MESHY I am all that much closer to placing my FAKE Augmented Reality sculptures in the Albuquerque Museum Sculpture Garden:
