# Image-to-3D

Aside from [Text-to-3D](/basics/text-to-3d.md) generation method, MeshZEUS also allows generating meshes using images. 

### Generating from image 

To start generating meshes using images:

1. Navigate to [your account](https://meshzeus.com/home)
2. Click **Image-to-3D** option\
   ![](/files/rHTcdgbYZGfvVzN1pNQ1)
3. **Upload the image** of your choosing\
   ![](/files/x2VPTVGkCDEiWODkpSkL)

### Pre-tuning generations

After uploading the image, you will be presented with following Model generation options: 

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/nAxhXjTc7F6Zi4qjr66z" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* **M3 and M2 Models:** usually give out best results
* **M2Fast:** Generates faster in-turn for quality

Additionally, you can enable ![](/files/DB33OhPO3BDTeSHZizdQ) checkmark to [**generate PBR materials**](/export/using-pbr-materials.md) for advanced reflections and lightin&#x67;**.**

### Final Results

Below you can view the **original image & final results** using **M3 Model**&#x20;

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Original Image" %}

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/6O6Y1S62Rg8liZ7wXxLm" alt="" width="367"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Generation Result" %}

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/ZgleSUW6ddGZxs9edNbr" alt="" width="256"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

#### Advanced Options

Clicking ![](/files/u9cgPy1kE0mN9iVx18Ay) (before starting generation) allows tweaking options:&#x20;

Dropdown menu: ![](/files/zL5jLnWFoYaZamZa4ClN) allows to choose the number of **Mesh Polygons** (Also known as **Vertices**)

* ***Higher polygons** = More details & weight (in prim count) when uploading to SL*
* ***Lower polygons** = Less details & weight (in prim count) when uploading to SL*

For balanced results between **Higher & Lower polygons**, we recommend choosing between **60,000-30,000**

Regardless of the options mentioned above, you can also tick ![](/files/E6kkIA8UCNRmwU7RIwhY) option to generate additional details. (increases generation time, recommended for highly detailed and complex objects)&#x20;
