Modddif is a desktop application that uses AI to generate and edit textures, reconstruct geometry from photos, and create matching normal maps directly on 3D meshes. Artists can produce textures from images or text prompts with multi‑view consistency, selectively inpaint areas, and refine geometry and normals in a step‑based, keyboard‑and‑mouse workflow.

Problem
3D artists often spend extensive time manually creating and refining textures, geometry, and normal maps, requiring repetitive manual work and multiple specialized tools. This slows iteration cycles and makes it difficult to quickly incorporate reference images or textual concepts into 3D assets.
Solution
Modddif offers an AI‑enhanced desktop application that integrates texture generation, geometry reconstruction, and normal‑map editing directly on mesh models. Users can generate textures from reference images, text prompts, or a combination, with multi‑view consistency and selective inpainting to fix only targeted areas. The geometry module reconstructs 3D shape from one or more photos, allowing artists to capture detail without manual modeling. A dedicated normal‑map tool analyses the current view and produces high‑quality normals that match the texture, which can be painted or blended across views. All operations are step‑based, giving artists full control to review, mask, and iterate on each result within a keyboard‑and‑mouse workflow.
Target Audience
Modddif is aimed at professional 3D artists, game developers, and visual effects studios who need fast, AI‑assisted creation and refinement of textures, geometry, and normal maps while retaining precise artistic control.
Features
- AI‑driven texture generation from images, text prompts, or both, with multi‑camera angle consistency
- Selective inpainting that lets users edit only specific regions without regenerating the whole texture
- Photo‑to‑3D geometry reconstruction using one or multiple reference images for detailed shape capture
- Automatic normal‑map estimation from any textured mesh, with brush‑based editing and multi‑view blending
- Integrated visualiser for real‑time validation of textures, geometry, and normals on the mesh
- Professional desktop interface optimized for keyboard‑and‑mouse workflows, not a generic chatbot
