Dollhouse 3D: turn a 2D floor plan into a furnished 3D model with a reveal video

Dollhouse 3D is Inoveo3D's new tool that converts a simple 2D floor plan into a furnished 3D dollhouse model, complete with an 8-10 second reveal video. Generation takes 2 to 5 minutes and costs 2 tokens (about €2) per model. Launched in beta, it is designed for agents, developers and builders who need buyers to visualise volumes from a plan — off-plan sales, empty properties or listings without furnished photos.

Key Takeaways

  • Dollhouse 3D converts a 2D floor plan (JPG, PNG or WebP image) into a furnished top-down 3D model, with no modelling software required.
  • Each generation produces two deliverables: a high-definition image of the 3D model and an animated 8-10 second reveal video (16:9 or 9:16).
  • Launch pricing is 2 tokens (about €2) per model, generated in 2 to 5 minutes; if generation fails, tokens are fully refunded.

What is a "dollhouse" and why does it change off-plan sales?

A dollhouse is a 3D model of a home seen from above with the walls cut open, revealing the layout of every room at a glance — as if you lifted off the roof. It is the format made popular by high-end virtual tours, and by far the most intuitive representation of a property for a buyer. The problem: producing a dollhouse used to require either a full 3D scan of the property (impossible for a home that hasn't been built yet) or hours of work in specialised modelling software. As a result, 2D-to-3D floor plan conversion remained reserved for large development programmes. Inoveo3D's Dollhouse 3D fully automates this conversion: you upload an image of your 2D plan, the AI reconstructs the volumes, furnishes the rooms and generates the model — followed by an animated reveal video where the plan rises into 3D. All in 2 to 5 minutes, for 2 tokens (about €2).

How does it work in practice?

The pipeline is fully automatic, in three steps visible from your My360 space: 1. Upload your 2D plan — a JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 25 MB: architect plan, sales plan, agency plan. Choose the video format: 16:9 landscape or 9:16 vertical. 2. The AI generates the furnished 3D model — walls are extruded, each room is identified (living room, bedrooms, kitchen…) and furnished in a coherent contemporary style. The model is available as soon as it is ready, without waiting for the video. 3. The reveal video is assembled — 8 to 10 seconds: the 2D plan comes to life, the walls rise, the camera orbits the furnished model. A short format, perfect for listings and social media. You get both deliverables (HD image + MP4 video) in your projects, with direct download, link sharing and embedding.

Who is it for, and for which use cases?

Off-plan sales — the obvious use case: the property doesn't exist yet, but the buyer needs to project themselves into it. A furnished 3D model turns a cold technical plan into a concrete projection of volumes and flow between rooms. Listings for empty or occupied properties — when photos don't do justice to the layout, the dollhouse offers the overview no wide-angle photo can provide. It perfectly complements virtual home staging of each room's photos. Social media — the 9:16 reveal video is a native format for Reels and TikTok: a floor plan coming to life in 8 seconds is exactly the kind of content that stops the scroll. Combined with AI video generation from your photos, it completes a no-filming listing video strategy. Builders and renovation brokers — to present house models or renovation projects with a redesigned layout, starting from a simple modified plan.

How much does it cost, and why so little?

A Dollhouse 3D generation costs 2 tokens, about €2, and includes the HD model and the video. For comparison, manual 3D modelling of a home from a plan is billed between €50 and €300 by specialised providers, with several days of turnaround. This is launch pricing: the feature is in beta and its price may evolve along with its capabilities. The model remains the same as for all our tools: tokens with no mandatory subscription, which never expire, from €1 per token. The failure policy is simple: if generation fails, full automatic refund. And if only the video fails, you keep the 3D model — refunded as well.

An honest beta: what the tool does well (and less well) today

We prefer transparency, as set out in our responsible AI charter: Dollhouse 3D launches in beta. What it does well: sharp, readable plans of apartments and single-storey houses with contrasted walls produce models faithful to the layout, with coherent room-by-room furnishing. What can go wrong: multi-storey plans on a single image, heavily annotated plans (dimensions, hatching, stamps) or creased plan photos can produce approximations — imperfect proportions, a misidentified room. Three simple tips significantly improve results: crop the plan tightly, avoid unnecessary annotations, and use the sharpest export available. The feature will evolve quickly — your beta feedback directly shapes the roadmap.

How to try Dollhouse 3D right now

The tool is available today for all Inoveo3D accounts, with no waiting list: 1. Log in to your My360 space (2 free tokens when you sign up). 2. Open the AI Video Creation card, then choose the Dollhouse 3D mode. 3. Upload your plan, pick the video format, and start the generation. All the details are on the Dollhouse 3D tool page. Availability in the iOS and Android mobile app is coming very soon — so you can generate a model straight from a valuation appointment, plan in hand.
