- 6 0:51 Teaser: turning a kid’s drawing into a real 3D model
- 7 1:18 Tools: MeshLab for free mesh analysis & optimization
- 8 1:51 Image prep: Gemini vs ChatGPT—who performs better
- 9 2:13 Platforms & models: Hi-Item/Hitem3D, 1.5/1530C Pro, Multiview
- 10 2:52 Crafting prompts for printable action figures no floaters
- 11 4:05 Angling the subject ¾ view to improve depth capture
