Modelado
Turning a photo into a 3D model usually means uploading it to a service and paying per mesh. Modelado runs open models on your own GPU or CPU instead: TripoSR for a closed object with sides and back, Depth Anything for a relief with a base for the printer. It then simplifies, smooths and fills holes in the mesh, sharpens the texture, and saves GLB, OBJ, STL or PLY.

From the product's own docs/ROADMAP.md at 9ab2cc8.
Windows interface built like PhotoBoost
- In progressThe Operations panel stacks all seven cards in one long scroll, so the one in use is buried among the others
- DesignedThe services the app drives (Meshy, Ideogram, Blender) appear only as text, with no logo anywhere in the window
- DesignedAbout and models is one long page of eleven text sections, mixing settings, accounts, downloads and licences
- DesignedAbout's source and download rows, rebuilt equal by value, can drop out of the accessibility tree while still shown
Model downloads
- DesignedA model over 2 GB cannot be published or downloaded: the manifest and downloader ignore ONNX external data
- DesignedOnly freely downloadable models can be offered; one behind a licence click, login or registration cannot be fetched
- DesignedThere is no download wizard that shows a model's licence, asks for consent and walks through login or registration
- DesignedThe licence gate accepts only permissive licences, so a model under the Stability licence cannot be published
- DesignedNothing shows the attribution a licence requires, such as Powered by Stability AI, when its model is used
Public site for 3D modelling
- DesignedSomeone without an NVIDIA GPU can't tell from the README, site or Store page that Modelado runs on AMD, Intel or CPU
- DesignedThe README sends GLB files to Windows 3D Viewer, which reports say left the Store on 01/07/2026
- DesignedNothing on the site or Store says Modelado is unlimited, with no credits, no account and no moderation
Local model quality: past TripoSR
- DesignedThere is no repeatable side-by-side of models on the same photos, so a new model or INT8 variant cannot be judged
- DesignedThe relief uses Depth Anything V2 Small, the only V2 size with a commercial licence, far below Large quality
- DesignedMoGe-2 has not been compared as a relief depth model, though it has an official ONNX export and normals
- Designed3D Object has no textured option beyond TripoSR's blurred 64×64 vertex colours
- DesignedSPAR3D measures clearly better than TripoSR, but its point-diffusion stage has no known ONNX export
Translated interface
- DesignedThe window shows sentences the libraries compose in English, which no translation of Strings.resx reaches
Printable objects: relief keepsakes, 3MF and print-ready meshes
- DesignedRelief depth and base are set as a share of the width, while a printer thinks in millimetres
- DesignedThere is no 3MF export, and STL carries no units, so a slicer has to guess the model's size
- DesignedA relief cannot become a keychain: there is no hole, loop or tag outline to hang it by
- DesignedA relief is always the photo's rectangle, never a round or oval medallion or a plaque with a border
- DesignedThere is no way to put text on a relief: around a medallion, under a plaque or on a keychain
- DesignedA relief has no stand, so a print meant to stand on a shelf needs a support modelled elsewhere
- DesignedThere is no lithophane mode, where thickness follows brightness and the print shows the photo when lit from behind
- DesignedA relief is not exported in the orientation it prints best, face up and flat on the plate
- DesignedNothing opens the exported model in the slicer installed on the PC; the user finds the file by hand
- DesignedA 3D Object is not guaranteed closed and manifold, so a slicer may show holes or empty layers
- DesignedNothing checks a 3D Object for walls too thin to print, or lays it on its flattest face
- DesignedA relief base below 0.5% reads as no base in the window but still solidifies the mesh
- DesignedWatertightness is tested only for rectangular masks, not for a cut-out object's irregular outline
The CPU and integrated-GPU path
- DesignedThe README promises a 1.1 GB download, which is wrong for a CPU-only PC, where it is about 1.85 GB
- DesignedNo run has ever measured peak RAM or video memory, so the about 4 GB requirement is a guess
- DesignedChoosing DirectML is documented as failing on a GPU error, yet ModelRunner silently falls back to the CPU
- DesignedThe speed table has no Intel or integrated-GPU timing, so the claim that Intel graphics work is untested
- DesignedNobody has measured an INT8 TripoSR encoder against fp32 on Modelado's own photos
- DesignedThe CPU path cannot use a smaller, faster encoder, even where the quality would allow it
- DesignedNothing checks free memory before a run, so a PC short of RAM fails mid-run instead of being told first

All 97 entries →- MOD135 · b09a59dEvery task runs the whole UI suite, 16 minutes and now past its 20 minute hang limit, for one or two cases
MODELADO_CASES=tag runs only the tagged UI cases on the guest (1 min, not 16), and the full suite fits a 35m hang limit.
- MOD97 · 175488aAbout lists only the models already downloaded, so a missing or removed model vanishes instead of showing as missing
About lists every model the operations and sources use, a missing one with what uses it and a Download, and Download everything names its count and size.
- MOD96 · 16a7cadAbout says a cloud key is stored yet shows an empty key box, without saying which key or where it came from
A key in MESHY_API_KEY or IDEOGRAM_API_KEY wins over a stored one, and About names its source and last four characters (design recorded in
src/Modelado.Cloud/CloudKeys.cs). - MOD95 · 9dfc7ffPaid Ideogram images are lost: unchosen candidates are discarded, the chosen one lands in a folder the app hides
Every Ideogram candidate is written to Pictures\Modelado under the object's name and seed as soon as the job returns, and the drop zone lists the latest with a link to the folder.
- MOD93 · 481389fWith the Ideogram panel open, its opening button stays on the drop zone and pressing it again seems to do nothing
While its panel is open the Ideogram button reads Hide the photo generator and closes it, and opening the panel puts the typing in its object field.
- MOD86 · bb95796The app forces en-US on every thread and has no way to show its interface in another language
Text follows the language chosen in About, else Windows', where a translation ships; numbers stay en-US (design recorded in
src/Modelado.App/InterfaceLanguage.cs). - MOD85 · 3362361Interface text is hard-coded in XAML and code-behind, with no English resource file for translations to fill
Every string the window shows comes from Strings.resx; tests refuse a literal in XAML or code (design recorded in
tests/Modelado.Architecture.Tests/StringResourceTests.cs). - MOD79 · 7400bceModelado has no Store listing, screenshots, privacy URL or certification notes, so the package cannot be submitted
Modelado passed certification and is listed in the Microsoft Store as 9PB86WW5NRR2 (design recorded in
build/msix/store-listing.md).
