AI converts drawings to 3D models
ML generative art [update August 2023]

🟠 3D models may be generated automatically from sketches
What is a sketch of an idea?
Concept sketches are drawings or diagrams annotated with short sentences explaining the processes, ideas, and relationships they show. Having students make concept sketches is a great way to help them understand and present ideas to others.
Concept sketches are often used during the design process to try out different ideas for 3D shapes and show how these ideas look on paper. People can quickly understand a concept sketch but still don’t know how to build a 3D shape from a concept sketch.

What are 3D ideas?
In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling uses special software to change the edges, vertices, and polygons in a simulated 3D space to make a mathematical representation of any surface of a non-living or living object in three dimensions. This is done to create a 3D model of the object.
The following piece of code exemplifies the state-of-the-art approach for the automated transformation of concept sketches into 3D models.

In architecture, what is a concept sketch?
Concept drawings or sketches are drawings, usually made by hand, that designers like architects, engineers, and interior designers use to explore their first ideas for designs quickly and easily.
Virtual Reality & Machine Learning
An exciting solution is to use the above code in virtual reality. There is already software available dedicated to 3D drawing. e.g Tilt Brush
Gravity Sketch, a CAD and 3D drawing program that works on regular computers and virtual reality systems, are another type of 3D drawing software (such as Oculus). Gravity Sketch has many standard CAD functions, but it also has tools for drawing in 3D, such as sketching in free form and tracing 2D images.
