Creating stunning 3D food models with Mukbang 3D is incredibly simple. This guide will walk you through the entire process, from recording your first video to sharing your 3D creation with the world.
The Four-Step Process
- Record - Take a short video of your food from multiple angles
- Upload - Send it to our photogrammetry pipeline
- Transform - Watch as your video becomes an interactive 3D model
- Share - Show off your creation to the world
Step 1: Recording Your Video
The quality of your 3D model starts with how you capture your video. Here's how to get the best results:
🎥 Recording Tips
- Keep the food stationary - you move around it, not the other way
- Move slowly and steadily for best results
- Capture from multiple angles - top, sides, and slight underneath if possible
- Ensure good lighting - natural light works best
- Keep the background simple to help with object detection
Start recording directly in the app or upload a video you've already taken. Keep videos short - 10-15 seconds works best for optimal processing and quality.
Step 2: Upload and Processing
Once you've captured your video, simply tap upload. Our photogrammetry algorithms will:
- Detect the food object in your video
- Extract multiple viewpoints from your footage
- Reconstruct the 3D geometry
- Apply textures and colors from your video
Processing takes an average of 10-15 seconds, but can take up to a minute for more complicated textures. We're always working on improving this.
Example: Avocado toast captured with Mukbang 3D - drag to rotate, pinch to zoom
Step 3: View and Edit Your Model
Once processing is complete, you can:
- Rotate the model 360 degrees
- Zoom in to see fine details
- Adjust lighting and viewing angles
- Add filters or effects (coming soon)
Step 4: Share Your Creation
Once you post your 3D model, you have several sharing options:
- Share Link - Share a direct URL to your 3D model
- Download Model - Export the 3D file for use in other applications
- Download Video - Get a video of your 3D model rotating
Pro Tips for Best Results
💡 Advanced Techniques
- The Turntable Method: Place your dish on a lazy Susan and rotate slowly while recording
- Multiple Heights: Capture at eye level, 45 degrees above, and directly overhead
- Close-up Details: Include some closer shots for texture detail
- Consistent Speed: Move at a steady pace - too fast reduces quality
Common Issues and Solutions
Model looks incomplete: Make sure you captured all sides of the food. The algorithm needs overlapping views to reconstruct properly.
Blurry textures: This usually means the video was shaky or out of focus. Try stabilizing your phone and ensuring good focus before recording.
Processing failed: Complex backgrounds can confuse object detection. Try recording against a plain background.
