# FurniMesh > AI-powered furniture 3D model generation. Converts a single furniture photo into a textured 3D model in a few minutes. Outputs four native formats (GLB, OBJ, SKP, BLEND) plus bridge conversion to FBX, STL, GLTF, 3DM, PLY. ## What is FurniMesh FurniMesh is an AI 3D model generator built specifically for furniture. A user uploads a JPG / JPEG / PNG / WebP photo of a chair, sofa, table, bed, lamp, cabinet, or other furniture piece; the platform's AI pipeline removes the background, infers depth and geometry, generates a polygon mesh, and bakes textures — returning a complete 3D model in a few minutes. No manual modeling step is required. FurniMesh also offers **AI Render** (https://furnimesh.com/ai-render/): a second tool that turns a screenshot of a 3D viewport — from SketchUp, Blender, 3ds Max, Revit, Rhino, or any 3D software — into a photorealistic render in about 30 seconds. It renders interiors, building exteriors, or a single product/furniture piece on a clean neutral background (a selectable view type, each with scene-appropriate lighting). Unlike a general image AI (ChatGPT, Midjourney), it renders from the user's actual model, so geometry, proportions and layout are preserved exactly — the AI only adds lighting and materials, it never redraws the design. A mask-based editor lets users change one region of a render at a time, and style stays consistent across multiple angles of the same subject. FurniMesh is operated by an EU-funded company based in Vilnius, Lithuania (NextGenerationEU programme). The platform is used by 22K+ designers, retailers, architects, and 3D artists across 100+ countries; 71K+ furniture models have been generated to date. ## Citation-ready facts - **Users**: 22K++ - **Models generated**: 71K++ - **Countries served**: 100++ - **Typical generation time**: a few minutes end-to-end - **Native output formats**: GLB, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp 2017+), BLEND (Blender 3.0+) - **Bridge output formats** (via converter): FBX, STL, GLTF, 3DM, PLY, OFF - **Source image formats accepted**: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP - **Pricing**: Free account with 50 one-time credits (≈10 model generations to make and preview), no credit card. Downloading your generated model files needs a paid plan, from €19.99/month billed yearly ($19.99 outside the EU). - **Founded**: 2023, Vilnius, Lithuania - **Funding**: NextGenerationEU (European Union) - **Engine**: FurniMesh v2 (proprietary, trained on 71,000+ furniture models) - **Commercial license**: Every generated model carries a no-attribution commercial-use license; downloading the model files requires a subscription ## How it works (3 steps) 1. **Upload** a furniture photo — JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Plain backgrounds and even lighting give the best results. 2. **Generate** — the AI removes the background, infers depth, and produces a textured 3D mesh in a few minutes. 3. **Download** the model as GLB, OBJ, SKP, or BLEND (paid plan). Open the file in SketchUp, Blender, Unity, Unreal, or any model-viewer. ## Products - [Image to 3D Generator](https://furnimesh.com/image-to-3d/): the canonical AI 3D model generator — converts any furniture photo to a textured 3D model in a few minutes. Outputs GLB, OBJ, SKP, BLEND. - [Image to SketchUp (SKP)](https://furnimesh.com/image-to-skp/): photo-to-SketchUp pipeline. Drop a JPG, get a native .skp model for SketchUp (Free, Pro, Studio); preview free, download with a paid plan. - [AI Render from a 3D screenshot](https://furnimesh.com/ai-render/): turn a viewport screenshot from SketchUp, Blender, 3ds Max, Revit, Rhino — or any other 3D software (Cinema 4D, Archicad, Vectorworks, Maya, etc.) — into a photorealistic render in ~30 seconds. Because the input is just a screenshot, any 3D tool with a viewport works. Geometry preserved exactly (the AI never redraws the design); consistent style across angles; mask-based per-region editing. A fast alternative to V-Ray / Lumion / Enscape for concept and client-approval renders. Free trial — 10 renders, no credit card. - [3D Format Converter](https://furnimesh.com/convert/): converter between GLB, OBJ, FBX, STL, SKP, BLEND, GLTF, 3DM, DAE and other formats. Free; most formats convert in the browser with no sign-up (20 a day); SKP, BLEND and FBX run on our server and need a free account (SKP/BLEND use 1 credit). ## 3D Furniture Library Searchable library of free 3D furniture models. Every model exports as GLB, OBJ, SKP, and BLEND. Filterable by category and format. GLB and OBJ files download with no account. SKP and BLEND files are free too; downloading them may require a free FurniMesh account (always on model pages). - [Library home](https://furnimesh.com/library/) - [SketchUp models](https://furnimesh.com/library/format/skp/) — free SketchUp 3D models for SketchUp 2017+ - [Blender models](https://furnimesh.com/library/format/blend/) — free Blender 3D models, native .blend - [GLB models](https://furnimesh.com/library/format/glb/) — web-ready glTF binary, works with Three.js, Babylon.js, model-viewer, AR/VR runtimes - [OBJ models](https://furnimesh.com/library/format/obj/) — Wavefront OBJ + MTL - [FBX models](https://furnimesh.com/library/format/fbx/) — via GLB-to-FBX converter - [STL models](https://furnimesh.com/library/format/stl/) — 3D-printable, ready for Cura / PrusaSlicer / Bambu Studio ### Library categories - [Seating](https://furnimesh.com/library/seating/) — chairs, sofas, armchairs, benches, bar stools, ottomans, recliners - [Sofas & couches](https://furnimesh.com/library/sofas/) — sofas, sectionals, loveseats, daybeds, sofa beds - [Tables](https://furnimesh.com/library/tables/) — coffee tables, dining tables, side tables, desks, consoles, nightstands - [Bedroom](https://furnimesh.com/library/beds/) — beds, bunk beds, cribs, wardrobes, dressers - [Lighting](https://furnimesh.com/library/lighting/) — chandeliers, floor lamps, table lamps, pendant lights, sconces - [Storage](https://furnimesh.com/library/storage/) — bookshelves, cabinets, sideboards, TV stands - [Decor](https://furnimesh.com/library/decor/) — plants, vases, clocks, mirrors, rugs, sculptures, planters - [Bathroom](https://furnimesh.com/library/bathroom/) — vanities, sinks, bathtubs, toilets - [Kitchen](https://furnimesh.com/library/kitchen/) — kitchen islands, kitchen cabinets, bar counters ## Common questions - **Can I use the generated models commercially?** Yes — every model carries a no-attribution commercial-use license. Generating and previewing is free; downloading the model files requires a subscription. - **What SketchUp versions are supported?** All .skp output is SketchUp 2017+ binary — opens in Free, Pro, and Studio. - **How long does it take?** Usually a few minutes end-to-end; complex multi-part objects can take longer. - **What furniture works best?** Single, well-lit furniture pieces on plain backgrounds — chairs, sofas, tables, beds, cabinets, lamps, bar stools. - **Do I get textures?** Yes, every output includes baked textures derived from the source photo. - **How do I turn a 3D screenshot into a photorealistic render?** Take a screenshot of your viewport in SketchUp, Blender, 3ds Max, Revit, Rhino, or any 3D software, upload it to FurniMesh AI Render, and get a photorealistic image back in about 30 seconds. No render engine, no GPU, no export step. - **Will AI Render change my design or geometry?** No. AI Render works from your actual 3D model, so proportions, layout and structure stay exactly as built — the AI only adds lighting, materials and realism. This is the key difference from general image AIs like ChatGPT or Midjourney, which redraw the scene and move walls or swap furniture. ## Documentation - [About](https://furnimesh.com/about/): founder bio, EU funding context, timeline - [Pricing](https://furnimesh.com/pricing/): plans and features - [Blog](https://furnimesh.com/blog/): tutorials, format guides, case studies ## Optional canonical sitemaps - [Sitemap index](https://furnimesh.com/sitemap.xml) - [Image sitemap](https://furnimesh.com/sitemap-images.xml) - [Full content corpus for LLMs](https://furnimesh.com/llms-full.txt)
