Image and text to 3D
AI 3D model generator
Turn a photo or a sentence into a textured 3D model in about two minutes. Rodin Gen-2.5, Rodin Gen-2.5 Fast, Tripo H3.1, TRELLIS.2, Rodin Gen-2 and Hunyuan3D 3.1 run side by side, and the image models that come before them let you design the right input first.
Loading model
Knit sneaker
From a FLUX 3 product shot with the background removed, meshed with Rodin Gen-2.
Optimised for the web; the file you download from the studio is full size.
From a photo or a prompt to a finished file
- 1
Start from a photo or a prompt
Upload a product shot or a render, or describe an object. Text to 3D draws a concept image with FLUX.2 Klein first, so you see what will be meshed.
- 2
Clean up the input
Remove the background, upscale a small photo, or redraw the object at a three-quarter angle with any image model in the studio.

Build the mesh
Pick Rodin Gen-2.5, Rodin Gen-2.5 Fast, Tripo H3.1, TRELLIS.2, Rodin Gen-2 and Hunyuan3D 3.1. The price shows on the button before you run it, and a failed run is refunded.

Download and convert
Download a textured GLB, then convert it free to STL or 3MF for printing, OBJ for any 3D app, or USDZ for iPhone AR.
Six 3D models, side by side
| Model | Best for | Mesh | PBR materials | From an image | From text | Typical time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rodin Gen-2.5Hyper3D | The cleanest hard-surface shapes: props, products and stylised characters | Quad mesh, crisp edges; detail from Low to High | Always | 16 | 17 | About 3 min |
| Rodin Gen-2.5 FastHyper3D | Quick, cheap drafts and game-ready props | Light quad mesh, about 16,000 to 40,000 triangles | Always | 4 | 5 | About 2 min |
| Tripo H3.1Tripo | Matching the input image most closely, with sharp textures | Triangle mesh, 18,000 to 400,000 faces by detail | Always | 12 | 13 | About 3 min |
| TRELLIS.2Microsoft | Faithful shapes with clean, remeshed topology | Remeshed triangle mesh, size set by detail | Always | 12 | 13 | About 2 min |
| Rodin Gen-2Hyper3D | Fast quad meshes with rich textures, about a minute quicker than Gen-2.5 | Quad mesh, easier to edit and subdivide | Always | 16 | 17 | About 2 min |
| Hunyuan3D 3.1Tencent | Products, props and figurines where the silhouette must match the image | Dense triangle mesh, 40,000 to 500,000 faces by detail | Always | 27 | 28 | About 4 min |
Why make 3D models in PhotoGenius
Six 3D models, one balance
Rodin Gen-2.5, Rodin Gen-2.5 Fast, Tripo H3.1, TRELLIS.2, Rodin Gen-2 and Hunyuan3D 3.1 are a click apart, so you can mesh the same image twice and keep the better result.
The input is half the result
Image-to-3D models copy what they see. Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2.5 and FLUX 3 are in the same studio to draw a clean, well-lit, three-quarter view before you mesh it.
Prices you see first
From 4 credits per model, about $0.12 to $2.7 depending on your plan. The price shows on the button before you run it.
Every format you need
GLB from the generator, and free in-browser conversion to STL, 3MF, OBJ, USDZ and PLY. Nothing is uploaded to convert.
Batch it with Flows
Put Image to 3D in a Flow to mesh a whole list of prompts or product photos in one run.
Chain from any image
Every image you make in PhotoGenius has a Make 3D action, so a product render or a character sheet goes straight to a mesh.
What people make with it

Questions
What is an AI 3D model generator?
A model that reconstructs a 3D mesh, with textures, from one image or a text prompt. You get a file you can open in Blender, a game engine, a slicer or an AR viewer, instead of modelling it by hand.
How much does it cost?
Each model has a fixed credit price: Rodin Gen-2.5 costs 16 credits from an image and 17 from text; Rodin Gen-2.5 Fast costs 4 credits from an image and 5 from text; Tripo H3.1 costs 12 credits from an image and 13 from text; TRELLIS.2 costs 12 credits from an image and 13 from text; Rodin Gen-2 costs 16 credits from an image and 17 from text; Hunyuan3D 3.1 costs 27 credits from an image and 28 from text. Plans start at $10 a month for 100 credits ($8 a month billed yearly), and the exact cost of every generation shows on the Generate button before you run it. Failed generations are refunded automatically.
Is there a free AI 3D model generator?
The 3D studios use credits from a plan, so there's no free 3D generation. The file converters are free and need no account, and the free image generator makes images you can mesh later.
What file formats do I get?
The generator outputs GLB (binary glTF) with textures embedded. The free converters turn it into STL, 3MF, OBJ (with textures), USDZ or PLY in your browser.
Can I 3D print the models?
Yes. Convert the GLB to STL or 3MF at the height you want in millimetres and open it in your slicer. Check thin parts such as handles and tails at your print size, and let the slicer repair small mesh errors if it offers to.
Are the models game-ready?
They're textured meshes with PBR materials. Godot, Unreal and Blender import the GLB directly, Unity does with its glTFast package, and Roblox takes them as .gltf or .obj; set Detail to Low to stay near or under its 20,000-triangle limit. For hero assets you may still want to retopologise, decimate or rig them; Rodin's quad meshes need the least clean-up.
Which 3D model should I use?
Rodin Gen-2.5 for the cleanest hard-surface shapes: props, products and stylised characters. Rodin Gen-2.5 Fast for quick, cheap drafts and game-ready props. Tripo H3.1 for matching the input image most closely, with sharp textures. TRELLIS.2 for faithful shapes with clean, remeshed topology. Rodin Gen-2 for fast quad meshes with rich textures, about a minute quicker than Gen-2.5. Hunyuan3D 3.1 for products, props and figurines where the silhouette must match the image. Every model includes PBR materials.
Can I control how detailed the mesh is?
Yes, with the Detail setting, at the same price. Low makes lighter meshes for games, Roblox and the web: a test chest came out at 19,215 triangles with Rodin Gen-2.5 and 17,719 with Gen-2. Medium is the usual output (about 30,000 to 40,000), and High asks for the most geometry.
How long does it take?
About 2 to 4 minutes per model. Jobs keep running if you leave the page.
Can I use the models commercially?
Commercial use is included on the Pro and Business plans. See the Terms of Service for the details of the license.
