# 2D to 3D Generator

This is the shoe-photo step, not a storefront. Merchants start at [Make the assets](../assets/index.md) or [See a shoe on the foot](../shoes/see-on-foot.md). Shopify and WooCommerce call this API for them.

Automatically create 3D shoe models from photographs.

## What It Does

Upload 2D product photos and the system automatically:
1. Generates a 3D model of the shoe
2. Creates a ready-to-use AR try-on link
3. Makes the shoe available in the [AR Try-On](../ar-tryon/overview.md) experience

This is a fully automated pipeline — **no manual 3D modeling required**.

## How to Use

| Method | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **API** | `POST /api/v1/shoe-3d` at api.wearfits.com — see [API Reference](api-reference.md) |
| **Web sandbox** | [tryon.wearfits.com/shoes](https://tryon.wearfits.com/shoes) — upload & preview |
| **Shopify App** | Automatic via the [WEARFITS Shopify App](../shopify-app/overview.md) |

## Supported Products

Currently supports **shoes only** (fully automatic). Bags and backpacks require manual 3D model upload via the [AR Try-On](../ar-tryon/overview.md) management panel.
