In recent years, AI has become a driving force of technological progress, transforming the way we create, communicate, and design digital content. Originally known primarily as a tool for generating text, AI algorithms are now expanding into images, videos, and 3D models. AI is reshaping 3D modeling into a faster, more accessible, and more automated process. What was once the exclusive domain of experienced designers using software such as Blender, Maya, or ZBrush is now accessible to those without a technical background. Just a few lines of description are enough for AI to generate a preliminary 3D model. These models form the foundation of modern product development, video games, animations, architectural visualizations, and medical diagnostics. The core idea behind using AI for 3D modeling is simple: The user provides a concept, and the AI turns it into a three-dimensional object. Rather than using complex polygon-by-polygon modeling, one can now use a text description, a sketch, or a reference image. Machine learning algorithms, often powered by deep neural networks, then generate a mesh or voxel-based representation that designers can refine as needed.
