In a 2D the answer is two, and a 3D space can be tiled in shapes that have no corners at all, called soft cells. These shapes can be made in a few different ways, and some are shown here.

In a blog post and papers, Facebook highlights a pair of AI models that can convert 2D objects into 3D shapes with high accuracy.

A new AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D ...

This KS2 maths article explains how to sort 2D and 3D shapes according to their properties using Carroll diagrams and Venn diagrams, ...

Scientists describe how flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer can be programmed to self-morph into complex 3D shapes.

Turning a 2D shape into a 3D object is now possible with an application like Paint 3D. In this article, we explain how to turn 2D objects into 3D objects using Paint 3D.

Yesterday's Adobe MAX 2024 presentation of Project Turntable for Illustrator has set the design world abuzz with excitement. If the tool works as demoed, it will change how artists work with 2D ...

How to describe 3D shapes 3D shapes are described by their faces, edges and vertices. The faces can be the same shape or different, and a 3D shape could have a curved surface as well as flat faces.

Researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D materials to transform into complex 3D shapes.
