Microsoft has quietly launched Copilot 3D, an innovative AI driven capability within Copilot Labs that transforms standard 2D images into fully rendered 3D models. Available globally at no charge to anyone with a personal Microsoft Account, this tool underscores Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to making creative technologies more accessible and intuitive.
Key Features and Availability
- Global, Free Access: Copilot 3D is part of Microsoft’s experimental suite, available worldwide without the need for a paid subscription. Simply sign in with your personal Microsoft Account.
- Accessible Through Copilot Labs: Navigate to Copilot.com, select the “Labs” tab, and click “Try now” under Copilot 3D. While optimized for desktop use, the tool remains functional on mobile browsers as well.
- Supported Formats and Storage: Users can upload JPG or PNG images up to 10 MB. Generated models are output in the GLB format and stored in the user’s My Creations section for 28 days.
How It Works: A Step by Step Guide
1) Access Copilot 3D
- Visit Copilot.com → navigate to Labs → select Copilot 3D.
2) Upload a Suitable Image
- Use JPG or PNG files under 10 MB.
- Prefer clear, well lit images with strong subject background separation for optimal results.
3) Generate the 3D model
- The AI processes the image and renders a 3D model, typically in seconds. No text prompts are required; upload and wait.
4) Download and utilize the model
- Models are saved for 28 days and can be downloaded in GLB format, compatible with 3D viewers, game engines, design tools, VR/AR frameworks, and 3D printing workflows.
5) Repurpose and refine
- Once downloaded, models can be edited using tools like Blender (after converting the GLB file to a supported format) or can be directly integrated into creative pipelines.
Technical Highlights
- Fast and accessible, no prompts needed, upload and render
- Best results with inanimate, well defined objects
- GLB format for easy integration into Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, or CAD tools
- Privacy, images are not used for AI training; strong guardrails protect from misuse
