ConvertIt

ConvertIt is a compact and easy-to-use application that can transform 2D images to 3D voxel-like models.

A voxel is the representation of a value on a three-dimensional regular grid. The voxel is closely related to the pixel but it’s usually applied to 3D models, as the focus falls on the volume — that’s why the name “voxel”, where vo means volume. Voxels are mainly related to graphic models and rendering, so the conversion results can be used for game development or graphical projects.

ConvertIt is supposed to process three 2D images and export them as a 3D voxel-based mesh. For the conversion to generate the best result, the 2D images should represent the points of view necessary for a 3D model. An item would require images depicting it from the back, the top and the side. If the three images respect these parameters, the 3D model should be generated.

The resulted models can then be used as game implements, animation elements or any other graphical purpose that requires voxel-based material.

To sum it up, ConvertIt is a lightweight program that can help you create 3D models out of three 2D images. Its main purpose is to serve the needs of developers and 3D enthusiast, but it seems that it can also be used at home, for fun, if the requirements are met.
