FAQ

Is 3D AI Studio free to use?
You can sign up and get free credits to try everything out. No credit card required. Free credits are enough for several 3D model generations. After that, paid plans start at $19/month for 1,000 credits.
How do credits work?
Every generation costs a set number of credits. Image to 3D and Text to 3D cost 20-60 credits depending on the AI model you pick. Image generation costs 2-8 credits. Some tools like SVG to 3D, 3D Text, and the 3D Viewer are completely free. Credit costs are always shown before you generate.
What are the pricing plans?
Basic is $19/month for 1,000 credits. Studio is $29/month for 3,500 credits. Pro is $149/month for 18,000 credits. There’s also a one-time pack at $34 for 2,000 credits that never expire. All plans include access to every tool. View pricing
What file formats can I export?
GLB (recommended default), FBX (game engines), OBJ (universal), STL (3D printing), USDZ (Apple AR), BLEND (Blender), 3MF (color 3D printing), Collada, and PLY. You can convert between formats using the Change Format action (1 credit) or the Remesh tool. Full format guide
Can I 3D print the models?
Yes. Export as STL for single-color printing or use the 3D Print Export tool to convert textures to vertex colors for multi-color printers (Bambu Lab AMS, Prusa MMU). The Remesh tool can optimize the mesh for printing.
Which AI model should I use for 3D generation?
Prism 3.1 is the best all-around choice (35 credits, 3-5 minutes). For speed, use Prism Turbo (25 credits, under 90 seconds). For game-ready assets, Tripo P1 (60 credits, 60-90 seconds). For highest quality, Hunyuan 3.1 Pro (40 credits). Full model comparison
Do I need 3D modeling experience?
No. Everything runs in the browser. You type a description or upload an image, and the AI generates a 3D model. No Blender, Maya, or any other software needed. You can preview and export directly.
What image formats can I upload for Image to 3D?
PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP. For best results, use a clear image with one subject, simple background, and good lighting. At least 1024x1024 pixels recommended.
How do I get better results?
Start in Image Studio to generate or edit a clean reference image first, then convert to 3D. This two-step workflow gives much better results than Text to 3D alone. Recommended Workflow guide
Can I rig and animate my models?
Yes. Use the Rigging tool (15-20 credits) to add a skeleton to character models. Supports biped, quadruped, and other creature types. After rigging, apply animations from 12 presets (walk, run, dance, etc.) for 15 credits each.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your models and images are stored securely and are not shared or used for training. You can delete your data at any time from your account settings.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, anytime from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of the billing period. No cancellation fees.
What browsers are supported?
Any modern browser with WebGL support. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all work. No plugins or downloads needed. Works on desktop and mobile.
Do unused credits roll over?
Monthly credits do not roll over between billing cycles. One-time credit packs never expire.
