# 3D

> Generate textured 3D meshes from a photo or text prompt.

Krea's 3D Objects tool converts images into fully formed 3D meshes, or generates them from scratch using a text prompt. Upload a photo of any object and Krea will reconstruct its shape, depth, and surface in three dimensions. If you don't have a reference image, Text to 3D lets you describe what you want and generates the mesh directly from your prompt.

PBR (Physically Based Rendering) is an optional setting that adds a layer of material realism to your 3D output.

After generating a 3D object, you have four options below the result: **Retry**, **Reuse parameters**, **Send to Realtime**, and **Download**.

Clicking **Send to Realtime** takes your 3D mesh directly into Krea's Realtime canvas, where you can use it as a compositional reference for image generation. The Realtime model reads the shape and spatial layout of the object and uses it to guide the output, so you can generate fully styled, textured images that match the pose and structure of your 3D asset without having to describe the composition in a prompt.
