# 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\

3. **Upload the image** of your choosing\

### Pre-tuning generations

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

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

Additionally, you can enable ![](https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2FELms5TV0lKzjD5KRSrLC%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=34e2f50e-7fae-435b-9757-d6f68df3de51) 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;

#### Advanced Options

Clicking ![](https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2FOLl5SxkoAZb3AQycsmC6%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=52306a08-88ff-48c2-8cbc-2d64d424a457) (before starting generation) allows tweaking options:&#x20;

Dropdown menu: ![](https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2FeRgH1dQlaX22gMmBSLvy%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=2c87e049-393a-4b31-af46-dd5875648048) 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 ![](https://3852278522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3cTMUz3vCFs8jhfw12VD%2Fuploads%2F7jzeiIFyPmaElf6TORnt%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=824c7e9f-f742-4cf7-b95f-3b59dc239ed2) option to generate additional details. (increases generation time, recommended for highly detailed and complex objects)&#x20;
