# SphereLinks

> AI-powered image-to-3D model generator. Upload any photo and receive a production-ready GLB file with PBR textures in seconds — compatible with Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, and Three.js.

SphereLinks converts 2D images into fully textured 3D models using AI. The output is a GLB/GLTF file with physically-based rendering (PBR) texture maps (albedo, roughness, metallic, normal). Models are game-ready and AR/VR compatible. A REST API is available for programmatic access.

## Core Product

- [Image to 3D Generator](https://www.spherelinks.io/image-to-3d): Upload any photo and receive a production-ready GLB model with PBR textures. Supports product shots, architectural references, character concepts, and more.
- [3D Model Library](https://www.spherelinks.io/library): Public gallery of AI-generated 3D models created by SphereLinks users. Browse and preview models in the interactive WebGL viewer.
- [Interactive 3D Viewer](https://www.spherelinks.io/3d-tools/online-viewer): Load and inspect GLB, OBJ, FBX, or STL files directly in the browser with no software install.
