Text to 3D

Text to 3D lets you generate full 3D models just by describing what you want. Type a prompt, pick a model, and get a textured 3D asset you can download and use in games, renders, or any 3D project. It’s the fastest way to go from an idea to a 3D model without any modeling skills.

Writing Good Prompts

Your prompt is the single biggest factor in getting a great result. Here are some practical tips:

• Be specific - describe the object, its materials, style, and key features
• Mention the view - “full body”, “side view”, or “isometric” helps the AI frame it right
• Include style keywords - “realistic”, “low-poly”, “cartoon”, “PBR” guide the output
• Keep it focused - describe one object clearly rather than a complex scene

Choosing the Right Model

With 10 models available, picking the right one depends on what you need:

• Best overall quality - Prism 3.1 (default for a reason) or Hunyuan 3.1 Pro
• Fastest results - Prism Turbo (under 90 seconds) or Tripo P1
• Game-ready assets - Tripo P1 Game Ready delivers clean topology fast
• Budget-friendly - Prism Turbo at 25 credits is the cheapest option
• Maximum detail - Hunyuan 3.1 Pro or Forge Gen-2 for complex objects

Model Comparison

Here’s every available model with current specs as of May 2026:

Settings and Options

Each model family has its own set of options you can tweak before generating:

Prism models:

• Texture quality - standard or ultra (+5 credits for ultra)
• Mesh quality - standard or ultra (+10 credits for ultra)
• PBR toggle - enables physically-based rendering textures
• Face limit - control polygon count for your use case
• Style presets - quick shortcuts for common art styles

Hunyuan models:

• Generation type - Normal, Geometry Only, Sketch, or LowPoly
• PBR toggle - full PBR material maps
• Max face count - adjustable from 40k up to 1.5M faces

Meshy 6:

• Art style - realistic or sculpture
• Topology - triangle or quad mesh
• Remesh option - cleaner topology for animation
• Symmetry toggle - useful for characters and vehicles
• Character pose - set a default pose for characters

Tripo P1 - Game Ready:

• Texture on/off - with texture costs 60 credits, without texture costs 40 credits

Rodin 2.5:

• Quality tiers - from extreme-low to extreme-high
• HighPack addon - adds 4K textures for +10-15 credits

The Workflow

Generating a model is straightforward:

1. Type your prompt - describe what you want to create
2. Pick a model - choose based on your speed/quality/budget needs
3. Adjust settings - tweak texture quality, face count, or style options
4. Hit Generate - the model starts processing (time varies by model)
5. Preview your result - rotate, zoom, and inspect in the 3D viewer
6. Export - download in your preferred format

Export Formats

Once your model is ready, you can download it in multiple formats:

• GLB/GLTF - best for web, AR, and general use
• FBX - standard for game engines (Unity, Unreal)
• OBJ - universal format, works everywhere
• STL - for 3D printing (no textures)
• USDZ - Apple AR Quick Look

The format you choose depends on where you plan to use the model. GLB is the safest all-rounder, FBX is ideal for game pipelines, and STL is what you want for 3D printing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is text to 3D really free?

3D AI Studio gives you free credits when you sign up, so you can generate several models at no cost. After that, models range from 25 credits (Prism Turbo) to 60 credits (Tripo P1 Game Ready). There’s no unlimited free tier, but the signup credits are enough to test different models and see which one you prefer.

Which text to 3D model is fastest?

Prism Turbo is the fastest model in 3D AI Studio at under 90 seconds, costing just 25 credits. Tripo P1 Game Ready is a close second at 60-90 seconds but costs 60 credits and produces game-optimized topology. If you need quick iterations to nail a design, Prism Turbo is your best bet.

Can AI generate game-ready 3D models from text?

Yes. Tripo P1 Game Ready in 3D AI Studio is specifically optimized for clean topology suitable for game engines. It produces models with proper edge flow in 60-90 seconds. For other models, you can use the Quad Remesh tool afterward to optimize the mesh for Unity or Unreal Engine.

How do I get PBR textures on text to 3D models?

Toggle the PBR option in the settings panel before generating. In 3D AI Studio, Prism 3.1 and Hunyuan models support full PBR output including base color, normal, roughness, and metallic maps. When you export as FBX or OBJ, the PBR maps download as separate texture files ready for any game engine or renderer.

What’s the maximum polygon count for generated models?

It varies by model. Hunyuan 3.1 Pro in 3D AI Studio supports up to 1.5 million faces, while most other models default to around 40k-100k faces. You can set a face limit before generating to target your platform requirements. Lower face counts work better for mobile games and web, while higher counts suit film and high-end renders.

Is text to 3D better than image to 3D?

They serve different purposes. Text to 3D in 3D AI Studio is faster when you just need a quick model from an idea. Image to 3D gives you more control because you can see and edit the reference image first. For best results, many users generate an image in Image Studio, refine it, then convert to 3D. This two-step approach costs slightly more credits but produces more predictable results.

How much does text to 3D cost per model?

In 3D AI Studio, prices range from 25 credits for Prism Turbo up to 60 credits for Tripo P1 Game Ready. The most popular option, Prism 3.1, costs 35 credits. Add-ons like ultra texture quality (+5 credits) or ultra mesh quality (+10 credits) increase the cost slightly. One credit purchase goes a long way since you get models that would take hours to create manually.

Can I use a style preset with text to 3D?

Yes. Prism models in 3D AI Studio offer style presets that act as shortcuts for common art directions. These presets adjust internal parameters to bias the output toward a specific look (cartoon, realistic, low-poly, etc.) without you needing to describe the style in your prompt. Just select a preset from the dropdown and type what you want to create.

What’s the best prompt length for text to 3D?

Keep it between 5 and 20 words for best results. In 3D AI Studio, overly long prompts with paragraph-length descriptions tend to confuse the models and produce messy results. A focused prompt like “medieval castle with stone walls and a tall tower” works much better than a 50-word description trying to specify every detail.

Can text to 3D make multiple objects at once?

It’s best to generate one object at a time. When you ask for multiple objects in a single prompt (like “a sword and a shield”), 3D AI Studio models tend to merge them into a messy combined mesh. Instead, generate each object separately and combine them in your 3D software afterward. This gives you clean, individual assets you can position exactly how you want.
