# Microsoft MoGe-3 API

> MoGe-3 by Microsoft estimates metric 3D geometry from a single image, refining depth with a sparse 3D refiner, and returns a textured GLB mesh, a PLY point cloud, and depth, normal and mask maps.

## Facts

- Provider: Microsoft
- Type: Image model
- Model ID: `microsoft/moge-3`
- Price: $0.07 per run
- Capabilities: image to 3d
- Billing: pay per use from one SandBase balance; no provider account or subscription needed

## Call it

- Unified Run API: `POST https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run`

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "microsoft/moge-3",
  "image": "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/dog.png",
  "apply_mask": true,
  "resolution_level": 9,
  "num_refinement_steps": 3
}'
```

The response returns a run id; poll `GET https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run/{id}` until the status is `completed` or `failed`.

## FAQ

### How do I call Microsoft MoGe-3 through SandBase?

Create a SandBase API key, then send requests with the model ID "microsoft/moge-3" to Unified Run API (/v1/run) at https://api.sandbase.ai. The request examples on this page show the exact payload.

### Do I need a separate Microsoft account?

No. One SandBase API key and balance gives you access to Microsoft MoGe-3 and the other models in the catalog; you do not need to sign up with Microsoft separately.

## README

### MoGe-3
MoGe-3 by Microsoft estimates metric 3D geometry from a single image, refining depth with a sparse 3D refiner, and returns a textured GLB mesh, a PLY point cloud, and depth, normal and mask maps.
#### Fields
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `image` | image URL, required | — | Input RGB image to reconstruct. |
| `num_refinement_steps` | integer 0–5 | `3` | Number of sparse 3D refinement passes over the predicted depth. 0 skips the refiner. |
| `resolution_level` | integer 0–9 | `9` | Processing resolution level (0-9). Higher values give finer detail but run slower; output size always matches the input. |
| `fov_x` | number 1–179 | — | Known horizontal field of view in degrees. Estimated from the image when omitted. |
| `apply_mask` | boolean | `true` | Mask out invalid regions (sky, background, uncertain) in the reconstruction. |
#### Output
- `url`: Main 3D file (GLB unless another export format is selected).
- `point_cloud`: Additional file returned by the provider.
- `depth_map`: Additional file returned by the provider.
- `normal_map`: Additional file returned by the provider.
- `mask`: Additional file returned by the provider.
#### Billing
$0.075 per request.
Failed runs are not charged.
