CSM (Cube)

Turns a picture or a short description into a 3D model in your browser, and can split an object into separate parts, tidy up the mesh and repaint textures. Free trial outputs must credit CSM; paid plans own their results.

Rough cost of one 3D model: about $0.60 / £0.45 (estimate, worked out by Plainly, not a price the maker publishes). Maker: $20 / 100 credits = $0.20 per credit x 3 credits (1 base geometry + 2 baked texture) = $0.60. GBP at 0.75.
