TRELLIS is a tool to create 3D assets form a single image or multiple images.

It is by no means capable of replacing humans in 3D modelling, but can work as a tool to augment your Blender workflow, might help you out of a creative crisis as well or just for recreational use.

TRELLIS cannot be used as a reliable alternative for photogrammetry yet.

TRELLIS meshes require fixing retopology either manually or by other algorithms.

This is a brief tutorial on setting up TRELLIS on Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux and Ubuntu-WSL 22.04 LTS.

TRELLIS can be installed directly on your Windows or Linux installation using similar-but-different methods, however, I recommend this WSL method for ease-of-use on general-purpose/gaming Windows machines.

Since Steam is throwing a fit about whatever when writing this, here is a PDF as images:
