What is Sam3d?

SAM 3D converts single images into detailed, realistic 3D models using Meta's open-source SAM 3D architecture. It handles both object reconstruction in cluttered scenes and precise human body digitization with pose estimation. Built on a data engine trained on 1M+ real-world images, it excels where traditional photogrammetry fails - handling occlusion, low light, and complex geometries. Designed for e-commerce (View in Room), gaming, VR, and creative professionals who need fast, high-fidelity 3D asset generation without GPU setup.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sam3d

Can I export SAM 3D models into Blender, Unity, or Unreal Engine?

Yes. SAM 3D exports in OBJ and GLB formats, both widely supported by Blender, Unity, and Unreal Engine. For human models, it also exports in Meta Momentum Human Rig (MHR) format, which separates skeletal structure from soft tissue to make animation easier in those engines.

How does SAM 3D handle partially hidden objects or people in photos?

SAM 3D is built to infer plausible geometry for occluded areas, it can reconstruct the back of an object or body part even if the photo doesn't show it. This is one of its core advantages over traditional photogrammetry, which typically fails on occluded geometry and low-light scenes.

Do I need a GPU to run SAM 3D?

No. SAM 3D runs without GPU setup and produces results in seconds. The model is optimized for CPU inference, making it accessible without specialized hardware.

Can I use SAM 3D models commercially if the tool is open-source?

Yes. SAM 3D is licensed under Apache 2.0, a commercial-friendly open-source license that permits commercial use, modification, and distribution of both the code and the 3D models you generate.
