Microsoft Copilot<\/a> has a new tool that lets you create a 3D model with only a few clicks. Copilot 3D can convert a single flat image into a 3D model that’s ready for games, animation, 3D printing, and virtual reality.<\/p>\n

Copilot 3D is currently limited to users who sign in with a personal Microsoft account, but it is not restricted to a specific region. I’ve played around with it throughout the day and have been impressed with the early results.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The feature genuinely is as simple to use as Copilot suggests. You just upload an image and leave Copilot to run for a while.<\/p>\n

The quality of creations can vary quite a bit, at least based on my testing. Copilot 3D seems to get confused by electronic devices with content displayed on a screen. It performed much better when asked to make a model of a Meta Quest headset (without any displays visible in the source photo).<\/p>\n

At least for now, Copilot 3D only supports taking a 2D image and converting that picture into a 3D model. You cannot enter a text prompt to create any 3D artwork.<\/p>\n

The models that are created by Copilot 3D are in the GLB format, which is a widely used format for 3D content. You can edit GLB formats in several popular programs, but you’ll have to convert them to use specific tools.<\/p>\n

For example, you’d have to convert a GLB file into a different format to make edits in Blender.<\/p>\n

Source files used to generate 3D content can be JPG or PNG files that are up to 10MB. Any files you use must follow Copilot’s code of conduct<\/a>, which notably restricts infringing on copyrighted material.<\/p>\n

I believe Copilot may actually generate 3D models based on copyrighted source material, but your account could be suspended for having it do so.<\/p>\n

Copilot 3D is in its early days, but it can create impressive 3D models when given specific source material. The feature should improve over time and could be a valuable addition to the toolbox of digital creators.<\/p>\n

What is Copilot Labs?<\/p>\n

Copilot Labs is an experimental program from Microsoft that allows select users to test new features. Microsoft uses Copilot Labs to refine experiences before rolling out capabilities to everyone.<\/p>\n

If you browse the Copilot Labs page<\/a>, you’ll see shortcuts to learn more about the various features, including Copilot Vision<\/a> and Copilot Actions<\/a>. Think Deeper<\/a> was first available through Copilot Labs, but it has since “graduated” and is a prominent feature of Copilot.<\/p>\n

The availability of specific Copilot Lab features depends on a few factors, such as your area. For example, Copilot Appearance can be used by a subset of users in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.<\/p>\n

Copilot 3D doesn\u2019t require a paid subscription and is available globally, but you need to be signed into a personal Microsoft account to use it.<\/p>\n

Does Copilot use GPT-5?<\/p>\n

Some people are likely trying Copilot today due to the app supporting the latest OpenAI<\/a> model. Microsoft shared this week that GPT-5<\/a> is now available through Copilot, giving users access to the “best AI model to date.”<\/a><\/p>\n

To access GPT-5, you just need to use the drop-down menu within Copilot’s search box. There, you’ll see an option for “Smart,” which uses GPT-5.<\/p>\n

Within that same menu, you’ll see an option for “Think Deeper,” which used to be a Copilot Labs feature but is now generally available.<\/p>\n

While GPT-5 is more capable than its predecessors, it has received criticism. Some claim the AI<\/a> assistant is less personable than previous models.<\/p>\n

When announcing GPT-5<\/a>, OpenAI confirmed that older models will be deprecated, meaning that even if people prefer GPT-4 or other alternatives, they won’t have the option to use those models.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft Copilot has a new tool that lets you create a 3D model with only a few clicks.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3163],"tags":[323,1942,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-333649","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115005586505398612","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
