Create 3D Assets from 2D Images with Krea AI

 

Krea has rolled out a new feature letting users convert 2D images into editable 3D design assets. By uploading a flat image, users can generate 3D-like elements, adjust textures, and manipulate perspectives for a more immersive design experience. It’s a game-changer for creatives in gaming, marketing, and product design, offering a shortcut to high-quality 3D visuals without the steep learning curve. However, it also highlights the growing tension between automation and creative craftsmanship. For businesses, it’s a faster path to eye-catching visuals, but standing out may require more than just AI-generated polish.

The images accompanying the news items in this article were generated in Midjourney using the following prompts:

a futuristic airplane flying through vibrant, neon-lit clouds with glowing lines of light converging towards the center. It’s a high-tech, sci-fi scene.

An interdimensional carnival of AI customization, where translucent rollercoasters made of flowing data twist and turn through a landscape of suspended orbs, each orb containing a miniature holographic personality scene—a bubbly Gen Z figure in a TikTok dance pose, a chatty comedian with floating dialogue bubbles, and a wise old sage with glowing runes. The carnival atmosphere is surreal, with candy-colored clouds blending with fractured crystal patterns in the sky, and lighting that pulses in rhythmic sync with a cosmic, unseen melody.

A hybrid of Brutalist architecture and surreal animation, showing a monumental AI brain made of concrete and glowing data streams perched atop a tilted newsroom. Notifications spill out as holographic cubes, some displaying pristine headlines, others flickering with distorted, illegible text. The landscape is barren, with jagged cliffs etched with neon symbols. Lighting alternates between ominous red glows and cool electric blues, emphasizing the tension between precision and error in the scene.

A vibrant, chaotic fusion of cubism and impressionism depicting an AI-shaped monument crumbling in a desolate desert of forgotten timelines. The sky is painted in swirling, fiery hues, dotted with abstract shapes representing distorted clocks and fragmented historical symbols. Around the monument, shadowy human figures reach out, their forms refracted like prisms through the AI structure, as golden beams of light struggle to connect the past and the future.

A whimsical blend of mid-century educational posters and optical illusions, showcasing teens interacting with ChatGPT on tablets, their screens projecting holographic diagrams, texts, and animated formulas into the air. The room is a spinning library-maze with distorted proportions, where bookshelves bend into infinity. Light streams in as if from an unseen sun, casting dramatic yet vibrant gradients across the scene.

A blend of cubist architecture and bioluminescent underwater life, depicting ChatGPT as a living coral reef that generates glowing task icons and calendar events from its surface. The scene is set in an abstract underwater world where users interact with the reef using futuristic, coral-inspired devices. The composition highlights luminous blues and greens, casting ethereal light patterns that shift as data streams move through the water like shimmering schools of fish.
