# Turn several views into a 3D model

> Make four matching views with an image editor or a turnaround workflow, add them to a multi view model, generate, and compare the back with a single image result.

In short:

- One image makes the model guess what it cannot see; more views stop the guessing.
- Keep the same proportions, angles, light, background and pose in every view.
- Each slot of a multi view model takes one view: front, left, back and right.


This lesson turns several views of one character into a 3D model.

## Why several views

![Film still: Why several views](https://ufgc0c9mhl4ueq76.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/academy/b1c73d23dfc0a14ab881dbd2493cc52a4de673fb5e65084c7710e2b9e471e37d.webp)

A single image makes the model guess what it cannot see. Give it more views, and it stops guessing.

## Make the views

![Film still: Make the views](https://ufgc0c9mhl4ueq76.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/academy/04ea0f14ca1797883ce482fcd8e44baad8eb70bf970b97082dc6753321c67a26.webp)

To make the views, use an image editor or a workflow. The example uses a public turnaround workflow, adapted from six angles to four: **front**, **left**, **back** and **right**.

Whatever you use, keep the same proportions, angles, light, background and pose in every view.

## Add the views

![Film still: Add the views](https://ufgc0c9mhl4ueq76.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/academy/0baaeb9895fcbbd5cd0c7d33af39ef742fa5d7709e6d932c24e633d701bde822.webp)

Open **Create**, then **3D**, and pick a multi view model from the model bar: here, **Tripo P2 Multi View**.

Each slot takes one view. Add the front, then the left, then the back, and the right view if you have it.

## Settings and generate

![Film still: Settings and generate](https://ufgc0c9mhl4ueq76.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/academy/5b9ee6a4ce260f2e0607f500572e410f874eba37af35ec96eb9bd7a5ac358fe1.webp)

The settings work like in image to 3D. Check them, then click **Generate**.

## Inspect and compare

![Film still: Inspect and compare](https://ufgc0c9mhl4ueq76.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/academy/d1cd092fe353d8f6b41fe0c07cd172aa4e5910134480168b40be4f020214a7d1.webp)

Orbit around the result and check the back. This time, the back comes from your own view, so nothing is guessed.

Turn on the **Wireframe** to check the topology. The panel on the right lists the four views you used. Next to the single image result, seen from behind, the difference is clear.
