An exploration project aims to turn Midjourney AI-generated wooden carvings into 3D models using AI depth estimation and Substance Designer. The project aims to demonstrate how AI can be used to create 3D models from 2D designs.
At the bottom of this project, you can find a workflow explanation and a link to the Making Of article.
