Text & Image to 3D

AI 3D Model Generator

Turn a prompt or a photo into a usable 3D asset. Compare the Chinese AI models that do it best — Tripo 3.1, Hunyuan 3D 3.1 and Trellis 2 — and pick the right input route for your project.

An AI 3D model generator converts a text description or reference images into a 3D asset — a textured mesh you can export as a GLB file or preview as a rotating render. Chinese labs moved fast here too: Tencent's Hunyuan and VAST's Tripo are two of the most practical options available today.

The Models

Tripo 3.1 (VAST) is the production option. It accepts text, a single image, or multiple views, and its rigged export pushes output toward game-ready. Geometry-quality, texture-quality and topology controls give you direct influence over the mesh. Pick it when the asset has to ship.

Hunyuan 3D 3.1 (Tencent) is the fast option. It takes text or a single image and returns a usable 3D asset — the shortest path from an idea to a mesh. Pick it for quick props, concept models, and first drafts you plan to refine elsewhere.

Trellis 2 is the image-to-3D option, with resolution, texture and mesh-detail controls. If your reference is already approved, compare it against Tripo's image route on the parts that matter: outline, separation of components, and surface appearance.

How to Choose

  • Fastest path to a mesh: Hunyuan 3D 3.1 — text or one image in, asset out.
  • Game-ready output: Tripo 3.1 — multiview input and rigged export.
  • Image-to-3D control: Trellis 2 — resolution and mesh-detail knobs.

Getting Better Results

Describe a single asset, not a scene — one prop, one character, one object. For image input, choose references where the shape reads clearly rather than ones with pretty backgrounds. When you have several angles of the same object, use multiview input instead of a single frame. And whatever model you pick, export comparable views for review before committing the GLB to a project.

Frequently Asked Questions

An AI 3D model generator turns a text prompt or reference images into a 3D asset — a mesh with geometry and textures you can export. On this site the leading options are Tripo 3.1 from VAST, Hunyuan 3D 3.1 from Tencent, and Trellis 2 for image-to-3D work.

Tripo 3.1 is the pick when the asset has to ship — multiview input and rigged export get it closer to game-ready. Hunyuan 3D 3.1 is faster to start with: it takes text or a single image and returns a usable mesh, which suits quick props and concept models.

Yes — that is the main use case. Tripo 3.1 supports rigged export aimed at game-ready output. Whatever tool you use, review the mesh before shipping: check the outline, component separation, and texture rather than trusting the preview render.

Multiple views beat a single view, and a clear single subject beats a busy scene. For text prompts, describe one asset rather than a whole environment. For image input, pick a reference where the shape is readable — attractive backgrounds do not help the geometry.
