Interior design has always been about bridging imagination and reality. A client\u2019s idea might begin with a Pinterest board, an Instagram post, or even a photograph of a boutique piece they spotted while traveling. But until now, translating these inspirations into workable 3D models inside a design platform was either painfully slow or simply impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Foyr Neo, we have heard this challenge voiced by our users time and again. <\/span>\u2018Can I import this product directly into Neo?\u2019, \u2018My client shared a moodboard. How do I replicate it exactly in my design?\u2019<\/span><\/i>, and \u2018<\/span>Is there a way to add this trending collection before my next presentation?<\/span><\/i>\u2019 are some of the questions that we have continued to deal with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with one of the most comprehensive catalogs in the industry, the truth was that the pace of design trends always outstripped the pace of catalog expansion. For us, that was a barrier to creativity that we just had to fix.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is why we created <\/span>2D to 3D<\/b>, a new feature that removes the dependency on catalogues altogether. On Foyr Neo, designers can now upload a simple 2D image, whether a product photo, a magazine clipping, or a sketch, and see it transformed into a functional 3D model within seconds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\"Foyr<\/a><\/b>The Designer-First Approach<\/span><\/h2>\n

We knew this was not a problem to be solved in isolation. The development of 2D to 3D began with listening closely to our community. Our conversations revealed three consistent pain points:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Trend responsiveness<\/b>: Designers wanted to bring trending items into projects instantly, and not wait for weeks and even months.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Client specificity<\/b>: Clients increasingly expect designs to mirror their exact references, rather than \u2018close enough\u2019 alternatives.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Workflow efficiency<\/b>: Manual modeling or third-party asset sourcing was slowing projects down, adding cost and complexity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instead of simply continuing to grow the catalogue, we decided to reimagine the design workflow itself. By making inspiration the entry point, we could remove friction entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>How 2D to 3D Works<\/span><\/h2>\n

    On the surface, the process is intentionally simple. But behind the scenes, it reflects a deep integration of AI-powered modeling and workflow optimization.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Upload any image<\/b>: Designers begin with a straightforward upload. This could be a product photo, for example, a sofa photo from a brand\u2019s e-commerce site or even an image saved from Instagram. The system accepts common file formats to keep the process accessible.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. AI-powered model generation<\/b>: The platform uses advanced computer vision algorithms to analyze the image, detect shape contors, and infer depth. The structured 3D geometry generation maintains proportions while creating editable surfaces.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Optimization for usability<\/b>: The generated model is then refined for practical use in Foyr Neo. Textures are mapped, scaling is adjusted, and the object is optimized to maintain realism within larger design scenes.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Seamless integration into projects<\/b>: The final 3D asset appears in the designer\u2019s Foyr Neo workspace. From there, it can be placed, rotated, resized, and rendered like any object in the native catalogue. Within minutes, what was once just an inspiration becomes a fully interactive part of the design.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      For designers, the experience is nearly magical: upload, wait a few seconds, and start designing. But the underlying engineering ensures that the models are production-ready, avoiding the inconsistencies that often come with external imports.
