Frequently Asked Questions

A web app for generating 3D models from text or images, with several generation engines behind one account. You write a prompt or upload a photo once, run it through the local engine and any configured third-party engine, compare the meshes side by side, and export GLB, glTF, OBJ, STL, PLY or 3MF.

A built-in local procedural engine that is always available, plus optional adapters for Tripo3D, Meshy, Rodin and Hitem3D. Each adapter runs only when the operator has configured that provider's API key.

Yes. Signing up grants welcome credits with no credit card, and every export format including STL, 3MF and GLB is available on Free. Credits pay for generation, not for the format you choose.

No. The Studio, the viewers, the STL editor and the 3D text generator all run in the browser. The viewers and the editor parse files locally in the tab, so those files are never uploaded.

Geometry, then UV unwrapping, then texture baking, then finalising. The task reports each stage separately, so a slow generation visibly sits in one stage rather than looking stalled.

Vertex count, triangle count, dimensions, volume, surface area, material count, file size, and whether the mesh is watertight and manifold. Those last two are the ones that decide whether a slicer will produce a solid part.

Rigid and geometric parts: the local engine, because parametric construction gives clean walls and predictable watertightness. Characters and creatures: Tripo3D. Statues, busts, portraits and lithophanes: Hitem3D. Textured standalone props: Meshy. Realistic organic subjects: Rodin.

A procedural generator that builds parametric geometry from the prompt deterministically, then unwraps UVs and writes PBR maps. It is not a trained neural network, it needs no API key, and the same prompt produces the same mesh every time.

Because their API keys are not set on this deployment. They cannot be selected and no request is sent to them. The local engine is always available, so generation never depends on a third-party key.

One input is sent to every engine you select, with the same mode, style preset, texture options and speed or quality setting. Results open in one viewport with identical camera and shading, and you keep the one you want.

No. They are independent third-party services and their names are trademarks of their respective owners. They are reached through adapters, and each has a profile page here describing what it is good at.

That task fails and its credits are refunded automatically; a task is charged at most once. Results from the other engines in the same comparison are unaffected, so one provider outage does not waste the run.

About 10 credits for a standard text-to-3D or image-to-3D generation on the base engine. AI texturing adds about 4 credits and HD texture another 4. Quality mode costs more than Speed mode. Each additional engine in a comparison charges the base cost again.

Free grants welcome credits at signup. Starter includes 1,000 credits per month, Pro 3,500, and Max 18,000. Yearly billing saves 20 percent compared with paying monthly, and all paid plans include a commercial licence.

Yes. One-time packs of 1,000, 3,500 and 18,000 credits are available with no subscription, and they draw from the same pool as plan credits.

No. Unused credits do not carry into the next billing period, so it is worth sizing the plan to what you actually generate rather than stockpiling.

The credits are refunded and the task is marked failed. A task is settled at most once: success charges, failure refunds, and the balance never goes negative.

In credit history on the account page. Every entry records the delta, the reason, the balance after the change and the task it belongs to, so you can see which engine and which mode consumed the credits.

GLB, glTF, OBJ, STL, PLY and 3MF, on every plan including Free. STL and 3MF are the printing formats, GLB is the web and game-engine format, OBJ suits DCC tools and PLY suits scan-style pipelines.

No. Exporting a finished generation is free and can be repeated. Export the same model as GLB for the web and STL for the printer without spending anything extra.

STL for a single part, 3MF when the model has multiple objects, colour, or needs units that survive the export. Check the watertight and manifold flags in the properties panel first.

No. STEP, IGES, SLDPRT, X_T, DWG, SKP and IFC are CAD formats with no open Python writer here, and FBX is proprietary and not written server-side. Export GLB or OBJ and convert inside the tool that needs the CAD format.

A converter rewrites an existing mesh into another mesh format — the geometry is already three-dimensional. Generation creates the geometry. The converters also state what a conversion will lose before you run it, such as colour or units.

No. The viewers and the STL editor parse files locally in the browser tab. Converting between formats that need server-side processing does upload the file, and the conversion page says which path applies.

Name the object, the style, the material and a size in millimetres. "A cast-iron frying pan, 260 mm across, thick rim, game-ready" gives the engine four decisions it can get right. Add wall thickness or a flat base when the part will be printed.

One subject on a plain background, evenly lit, filling most of the frame. Avoid transparency, thin structures and hard shadows, which get baked into the geometry as guesses.

When the back of the object matters. Multiview needs at least two photos of the same object from different angles and reconstructs the sides a single photo would have to invent.

Upload several images and each creates one independent generation with its own progress, result and credit charge. It suits a product range; you can re-run a single image without touching the rest of the batch.

Yes. A REST API with API keys and scopes, idempotency keys to make retries safe, webhooks for completion events and hourly rate limits. Keys are created in Account, shown once, and stored only as a hash.

You do. Signed-in users keep ownership of what they generate, and every paid plan includes a commercial licence. You are responsible for holding the rights to any image or file you upload.

New generations default to Private visibility, so they appear only in your account. Making an asset public is an explicit choice and can be reversed at any time.

Paid purchases are not open yet. Registration credits and administrator grants can be used for generation. A payment provider must be configured before checkout is enabled.

Yes, from the account page. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the credits already granted for the current period remain usable until that period ends and do not roll over afterwards.

Delete individual assets from the assets page, which removes the stored files, or email /contact to close the account. Deletion requests are handled within 30 days, and ledger rows are kept afterwards for accounting only.
