Generate 3D models and textures from prompts or reference images. Discover tools for mesh creation, asset refinement and studio production, including downloadable generators and platforms that connect with modelling software.
Meshy creates 3D models from text prompts and reference images, then adds textures, mesh refinements and character animation. Its browser workspace and developer API cover asset generation, PBR materials, remeshing and exports for 3D editors, game engines and printing. Model settings and licensing differ between free access, paid plans and API use.
Tripo generates 3D assets from text and images, with separate tools for high-detail models and lower-density topology. Its Studio includes texturing, part segmentation, remeshing, rigging and exports. Smart Mesh offers triangle or quad controls for assets that will be edited or used in interactive projects.
Rodin creates 3D models from text and reference images, with controls for topology, materials and exports. Hyper3D also offers partial editing, low-poly refinement and a Business-level API.
Hunyuan3D creates 3D assets from text and images through Tencent’s hosted service and separately billed cloud API. Downloadable models have their own hardware and licensing requirements.
3D AI Studio brings multiple AI 3D engines into one browser platform, including its Prism models and options from Meshy, Tripo, Rodin and Hunyuan. Generate a model, retexture it, adjust topology and prepare exports. Its Flow canvas connects image, text, 3D and other creative steps into reusable pipelines.
Kaedim combines AI generation with professional artists to produce 3D assets from visual references. Studios can specify topology, textures and rigs, then review each stage before delivery.
Sloyd combines AI text-to-3D and image-to-3D generation with a library of editable parametric templates. Its browser tools cover model creation, textures, scenes, rigging and animation. Templates provide sliders and toggles for controlled variations, while generative tools create new shapes from a prompt or reference.
WorldEngen brings AI scene creation, references and assets into a desktop editor connected with Blender, Unity and Unreal. Its online companion currently shows a temporary pause notice, so trial access needs confirmation.
Alpha3D combines AI model generation with retopology, UVs, materials and rigging. Its Alphred agent, node workflows, Blender add-on and API connect asset creation and refinement in one toolset.
Common Sense Machines developed Cube for generating and refining 3D assets from visual references and prompts. The team has been acquired by Google DeepMind; current standalone Cube access and subscription plans remain unconfirmed.
Meshy, Tripo and Rodin offer routes from prompts or images to 3D assets. Hunyuan3D provides a model pipeline for shape and texture generation. Reference views, mesh structure and texture output differ from creating a flat image that merely looks three-dimensional.
Retopology, remeshing and texturing help prepare generated meshes for further work. 3D AI Studio and Cube by CSM include refinement tools, while Kaedim provides a studio production process with staged review. The level of cleanup needed remains asset- and application-specific.
Model formats and editor or engine integrations determine where an asset can be used. Sloyd includes template-based editing, while WorldEngen connects scene work with existing production tools. Private outputs, commercial licences and model-download access can depend on the plan.
Several tools accept an image or multiple reference views as input. The output can include a mesh and textures, with supported exports listed on the product page.
Readiness depends on geometry, materials and the target application. Some tools add retopology or printing pipelines, but an asset may still need manual refinement.
Create artwork, campaign graphics and new visual concepts with AI image generators. Discover leading tools for text-to-image creation, reference-based images, photo editing and design assets, including Midjourney, Adobe Firefly and Ideogram.
Create video clips, business presentations and edited content with AI video tools. Discover cinematic generators, talking-avatar platforms and AI-assisted editors for turning ideas and existing footage into video.
Create branded graphics, interface designs and visual content with AI design tools. Explore template-based editors, collaborative design platforms and specialist tools for logos, mockups and marketing assets.
Build presentations from a prompt, existing material or a draft outline. Discover AI slide makers, adaptive-layout editors and assistants for PowerPoint and Google Slides, with tools for branding and collaboration.
