Photo → relief

From a single photo to a 3D relief with AI

From one image, the AI depth model (Depth Anything V2) estimates the volume and reverse3d turns it into a printable 2.5D relief: plaques, medals, logos or lithophanes.

The problem

  • Modeling a relief by hand is slow.
  • Websites that do it upload your images to the cloud.

What you get

  • AI depth map on CUDA, Apple MPS or CPU.
  • Relief STL ready to print.
  • Preview render.
