# MeshCrate > MeshCrate is developing an image-to-3D model generator. Today, creators can inspect self-contained GLB files locally, explore licensed model references and learn from interactive mechanical structures. Turn one image into a usable 3D asset. ## Available tools - Open a local self-contained GLB in browser memory - Rotate, zoom, pan and pause automatic camera rotation - Inspect PBR, clay, wireframe and normal material modes - Report embedded images, mesh triangles, file size and animation availability - Play the first available animation clip - Browse attributed model references and their source licenses - Download licensed self-contained GLB references - Explore Anatomy mechanical figures with interactive controls ## Questions and answers ### What can I do with MeshCrate? Browse characters, buildings, mechanical structures, game props and product objects; open their interactive previews; or inspect a GLB file from your device in the local Viewer. ### Does the local GLB Viewer upload my model? A chosen file is read and parsed in browser memory. Its contents are not uploaded or included in analytics. Removing the file disposes its preview resources. Public reference previews are downloaded from this site. ### Which 3D formats can I open? The Viewer accepts self-contained GLB up to the configured file limit. OBJ, STL and glTF files with external resources are not accepted by this Viewer. ### Are the examples generated from images? The current library contains authored GLB references and interactive Anatomy diagrams. Their detail pages disclose the authoring method and source; they are not image-to-3D generation results. ### Can MeshCrate generate a mesh from an image? Image-to-3D generation is in development. Join early access for launch updates and trial incentives. The local GLB Viewer, licensed model references and mechanical explainers are available today. ### Can I reuse a reference commercially? CC0 references allow broad reuse. CC BY 4.0 references require attribution, and Anatomy uses MIT with its copyright and license notice. Review the selected model’s source and license for its specific terms. ### Can I export an Anatomy diagram as GLB? The integrated mechanical figures are interactive HTML/SVG, sometimes using WebGL or Anatomy’s 3D projection mode. They have no GLB or manufacturing CAD export. Mechanical GLB scene assets are labeled separately. ## Pages - [Image to 3D Model Generator | MeshCrate](https://meshcrate.vip/): Turn one image into a usable 3D asset.
