How recipes work

A recipe turns a reusable workflow into a simple set of inputs and outputs. Start with a community recipe and make it your own in Fuser.

1. Choose a recipe

Find a workflow for the result you want. Review what it does and how to use it before opening it in Fuser.

2. Make it your own

Check the recipe’s available inputs. Add your own text or media where supported, or start with the saved defaults.

3. Run and refine

Run the recipe in Fuser and review the result on your canvas. Adjust any available inputs when you want to try another direction.

Applications for Sketch-to-3D Modeling

Use the recipe to develop visual concepts across entertainment, games, and illustration projects.

Develop game asset concepts

01

Start with a rough character, prop, or environment sketch and produce a 3D model for early asset exploration.

Support film previsualization

02

Turn drawn production concepts into a 3D model and render that can help communicate an object or scene idea.

Explore illustrated designs

03

Use an illustration sketch as the starting point for testing how a drawn concept translates into a model and render.

Create concept presentation materials

04

Pair the original sketch with the generated render to present a concept’s transition from drawing to 3D form.

Build an early modeling reference

05

Give artists a model-based starting point when moving from loose visual planning toward 3D development.

Compare alternate concepts

06

Change the exposed sketch input in Fuser to explore different drawn ideas and review their corresponding model and render outputs.

Frequently asked questions

It takes a single sketch image and produces two outputs: a render and a 3D model. The recipe is intended for moving from a rough drawn concept toward a model-based result.

It is suited to artists, game developers, and film or entertainment teams working with early visual concepts. It can also support illustration workflows that begin with a hand-drawn or rough image idea.

Prepare one sketch image that represents the object, character, or scene concept you want to develop. Sketch is the recipe’s exposed input, and you can change it in Fuser for a new run.

The recipe provides a Render image and a 3D Model mesh. Together, they show both a visual presentation of the result and a model output derived from the sketch input.

You can customize the exposed Sketch input in Fuser by replacing the saved example with another image. No other editable input is listed for this recipe.

The saved example shows the recipe’s default sketch connected to its render and 3D model outputs. It is a saved reference example rather than a live generation on this page.

The recipe fits early concept work for film and entertainment, gaming assets, and art or illustration projects. It is most useful when a rough sketch is the starting point for exploring a 3D form.
