Solaya

What is Solaya?

Solaya is an AI-based 3D creation platform that turns a short smartphone scan into a high-fidelity 3D model. Its core purpose is to provide a single 3D asset that can be used as the foundation for downstream product visuals.

After a scan is converted into a high-fidelity 3D model, Solaya can generate studio-ready images, videos, 360° views, and AR experiences. The workflow is designed to reduce the need for photoshoots and post-production by generating multiple output formats from one capture.

Key Features

• Smartphone scan to high-fidelity 3D conversion: Solaya is positioned as converting a “2-minute smartphone scan” into a high-fidelity 3D model that acts as the starting point for later outputs.
• Single-asset visual pipeline: Outputs (images, videos, 360° views, and AR experiences) are generated from the same 3D model, helping maintain consistency across formats.
• Studio-ready media generation: The platform generates visuals intended for product presentations without requiring photoshoots or extensive post-production.
• 3-step workflow (Capture → Create → Convert): Solaya structures the process into recording a scan, creating a usable 3D result, and converting it into production-ready assets.
• Designed for real-world product capture: The page emphasizes “scan anything, anywhere, anytime,” indicating the target workflow is mobile capture of real objects.

How to Use Solaya

1. Capture: Record a scan of the physical product using a smartphone.
2. Create: Use Solaya’s platform to produce a high-fidelity 3D model from the captured scan.
3. Convert: Generate the needed deliverables—such as images, videos, 360° views, and AR experiences—from the resulting 3D asset.

Use Cases

• E-commerce product detail visuals: Convert a scanned product into consistent 3D-based images and 360° views for online listings.
• Brand and marketing content production: Generate studio-ready images and videos from a single scanned 3D model to support campaigns across channels.
• AR product try-ons or placements: Create AR experiences derived from the reconstructed 3D asset, reducing the need to rebuild models for immersive use.
• Retail catalog and merchandising: Use 3D reconstructions to produce multiple visual formats from the same capture for product catalogs or in-store digital displays.
• Industrial or product documentation visuals: Apply the scan-to-3D workflow to real objects to support downstream media where consistent 3D representations are useful.

FAQ

• What does Solaya generate after scanning? Solaya generates a high-fidelity 3D model, and from that model it can generate studio-ready images, videos, 360° views, and AR experiences.

• Do I need a photoshoot to produce outputs? The page states that outputs can be generated “no photoshoots or post-production,” indicating that Solaya’s workflow aims to remove those steps for the described deliverables.

• How long does the scanning step take? The page mentions turning a “2-minute smartphone scan” into a high-fidelity 3D model.

• What is the recommended workflow? The site describes a 3-step process: Capture (record a scan), Create (produce the 3D result), and Convert (generate output assets).

• What should the scan contain? The site says “Scan anything, anywhere, anytime,” but it does not provide more detailed rules about object types, so specific limitations are not stated in the provided content.

Alternatives

• 3D reconstruction tools (software-based): Alternatives include general-purpose photogrammetry or 3D reconstruction software where you capture images/video and then reconstruct a model; these typically require more manual steps and image capture compared with a smartphone-scan-to-asset workflow.
• 3D asset marketplaces and CAD-to-render pipelines: For teams that already have CAD files or prebuilt 3D assets, CAD/render workflows can produce images and video without reconstruction; however, they may not remove the need for modeling when you only have a physical object.
• AR content creation platforms: Tools that focus primarily on AR experience building can be used after you obtain 3D assets; compared with Solaya, you may need an external method for generating the 3D model from a scan.
• Product visualization suites: Suites that specialize in generating marketing visuals from 3D inputs may require you to provide 3D models first; Solaya’s distinct positioning is the scan-to-3D conversion as the first step.
