How does Fish Maker work?

Upload a side-view fish image. Fish Maker automatically removes the background, traces the silhouette, generates a 3D mesh, applies UV mapping from your image, creates a skeletal rig, adds swim animations, and places the fish in a cinematic underwater scene. Export as GLB for use in any 3D software.

What image types work best with Fish Maker?

Side-view fish photos or illustrations work best. The clearer the fish silhouette against the background, the better the reconstruction quality. JPEG, PNG, and WebP images are all supported.

Can I export my fish as a GLB?

Yes, Fish Maker exports the fully rigged and animated fish as a GLB file, compatible with Three.js, Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, and all standard 3D software.

Procedural Fish Reconstruction v2.0

Workflow

1. Upload side-view fish on white background.
2. Align so fish faces left.
3. Remove background.
4. Reconstruct Fish Plan — clean silhouette + spine + width profile.
5. Plan extrusion + soft pressure inflation.
6. Preview swim animations.
7. Export GLB.

Fishs — Image to Animated 3D Fish

Upload a side-view fish photo on a pure white background. Fishs procedurally reconstructs a clean vector fish plan (silhouette + spine + width profile), then builds a pressure-inflated cloth-like 3D mesh ready for animation and GLB export.

PNG · JPG · WEBP — any resolution

✓ Good

Side profile, fish facing left, sharp focus, pure white background.

✗ Avoid

Top-down view, busy backgrounds, shadows on white, multiple fish.

Fish Maker — Free Browser Tool to Turn Fish Images into Animated 3D Models by KAG3D

What is Fish Maker?

Fish Maker is a unique free browser tool by KAG3D that converts any fish photograph or illustration into a fully rigged, animated 3D GLB file. The entire pipeline — background removal, mesh generation, rigging, animation, and rendering — runs entirely in your web browser with no software to download.

The Full Pipeline

Background Removal — Automatically isolates the fish from its background
Silhouette Reconstruction — Traces the fish outline and identifies key anatomical landmarks
Mesh Generation — Creates a clean 3D mesh from the 2D silhouette
UV Mapping — Projects your original fish image as the texture
Skeletal Rigging — Builds a spine, fin, and tail rig automatically
Swim Animation — Applies natural swim cycles with fin movement
Rendering — Places fish in a cinematic underwater environment
GLB Export — Export the rigged animated model for use anywhere

Technical Details

Fish Maker is built with Three.js and WebGL. It uses canvas-based image processing for background removal, procedural geometry generation for the mesh, and Three.js SkinnedMesh for the rigged animation.
