Frequently Asked Questions

What 3D formats are returned?

The Trellis API outputs a standard binary GLB file (.glb) with embedded PBR materials and textures, ready to drag and drop into Blender, Three.js, Unity, or Unreal Engine.

What kind of input image works best?

Clean images with isolated backgrounds (e.g. processed via Lumoz Background Remover) and clear silhouettes produce the cleanest 3D meshes.
