A SIGGRAPH Asia 2013 research demo of 3-Sweep, a tool for extracting editable 3D objects from a single photo using a few user strokes. It predates modern AI image tools.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN recalls it as a mind-blowing pre-AI demo of 2D-to-3D object extraction.

“this single video blew my mind back in *2013* and I find myself thinking about it often.”
Mind-blowing 2013 non-AI object extraction from a single photo.
SIGGRAPH from over a decade ago has entered the chat... this video It may not be AI, but this single video blew my mind back in *2013* and I find myself thinking about it often.
“Here's an amazing demo”
Demo extracting editable 3D objects from a single photo.
I would love to see this combined with object extraction to make 3d models from the measurements. Here's an amazing demo: this video
“Here's an example from SIGGRAPH Asia”
Example of SIGGRAPH Asia research on 3D object extraction.
Lots of interesting research being done on this, keep an eye out for stuff from SIGGRAPH later this month. Here's an example from SIGGRAPH Asia: this video .
“consumers will have software that can turn 2D images into simulated 3D”
Demo of turning 2D images into 3D models.
That is correct. Sometime in the future, consumers will have software that can turn 2D images into simulated 3D [0]. It's still in dev mode right now, though. [0] this video
>SIGGRAPH from over a decade ago has entered the chat... > > this video A version of this was available in Photoshop for a long time, but I think the feature was deprecated and removed completely this year. I had used it for a few things here and there, but dedicated 3D tools were much better if you were working in that space.
