Trellis 2 alternatives
Trellis 2 is a browser-based tool that turns one uploaded image into a textured 3D model and exports it as GLB, STL, OBJ, PLY or USDZ. When choosing an alternative, check which export formats and output path you need (game engine, 3D printing, or web), whether you need an API or team review, and whether the pricing model fits your budget.
