Microsoft’s new Copilot 3D feature is great for Ikea, bad for my dog
- Microsoft has launched Copilot 3D, a free feature that transforms 2D images into 3D models for various applications.
- Copilot 3D can be used in game creation, animation, 3D printing, VR/AR, and other fields without requiring text prompts.
- The feature requires a clear background or strong separation between the subject and background in the input image.
- Microsoft recommends using images with even lighting and a sense of depth to improve the AI model’s performance.
- Copilot 3D is available for free, but its impact on users’ pets may be less desirable (as seen in the humorous anecdote about the author’s dog).
While Microsoft was busy updating Copilot yesterday with OpenAI’s new GPT-5 model, it also quietly launched Copilot 3D. It’s a free-to-use feature that can transform a regular 2D image into a 3D model that can then be used in game creation, animation, 3D printing, VR / AR, and much more.
Copilot 3D just needs a good clean 2D image, and you don’t even need to use any text prompts. Microsoft recommends using images with a clear background or a strong separation between the subject and the background. I’ve been testing Copilot 3D today and found that it works better when an image has even lighting and a sense of depth, to help the AI model bet …
