A photo in.
A 3D painting out.

Artisplay reads the brushwork in a picture of a painting and builds the surface back as a 3D relief. Spin it, share it, put it in AR, print it, or post a rotation video.

How it works

  1. 01

    Take one photo

    Straight on, even light, the whole painting in frame. A phone is fine.

  2. 02

    Artisplay reads the paint

    Thick strokes catch light on one side and shadow on the other. That shading becomes height, stroke by stroke.

  3. 03

    Get a model

    A relief you can turn in the browser, and files that open in Blender, iPhone AR, a slicer, or a web page.

What you get, and where it goes

MP4

Rotation video

A six second turntable in portrait, ready for Instagram, TikTok, a listing, or a text to a buyer.

USDZ

iPhone AR

Opens with one tap on any iPhone or iPad. Hang the painting on a real wall before buying or selling it.

GLB

3D and web

The standard 3D file. Blender, Unity, Three.js, Sketchfab, Shopify 3D product views.

STL

3D print

A relief plaque in real millimetres. Print a small edition of a painting you own.

Every scan also gets a share link with the 3D viewer, so a client can turn the piece on their own phone.

Questions

Is the depth real?
It is estimated from the photo. Paint that stands up catches light on one side and casts shadow on the other, and Artisplay turns that shading into height. Thick impasto comes out strong. A smooth glaze or a flat print comes out subtle, which is honest.
What photo works best?
Straight on, filling the frame, daylight from the side rather than a flash from the front. A phone in good light beats a scanner, because a scanner flattens the shading.
Does it work on prints and posters?
Yes. You get the image on a canvas-shaped model with light relief. It is a good way to show a print in AR or as a video.
Where do my photos go?
To private storage while the scan is made. The finished model lives at its share link. Delete it from your account page whenever you want.
Can I use it for client work?
Yes. Files are yours. Galleries, framers, artists and estate sellers use the video and the AR file to show a piece before shipping it.
What about sculptures?
Not yet. Artisplay is for flat work: paintings, drawings, prints, textiles, tiles. Anything with a front.
