Model Actions
Updated May 2026
After you generate a 3D model (or upload one), you can process it further using Model Actions. Open your model from the Dashboard and click the process button to see all available options.
The Model Actions panel with all processing options for a 3D model.

Image Actions
When you generate or upload an image, a different set of actions is available:
| Action | What it does | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Use in Image to 3D | Send the image to Image to 3D to generate a 3D model | Free (generation costs apply separately) |
| Open in Image Studio | Open the image in Image Studio for further editing | Free |
| Edit Image with AI | AI-powered editing via prompt (change style, objects, background) | 4-8 |
| Upscale Image | AI 2x upscale with optional face enhancement | 2 |
| Remove Background | Remove the background from the image | 2 |
| Change Format & Resize | Convert between JPG, PNG, WebP with quality settings | Free |
| Delight Image | Remove harsh shadows and normalize lighting (great prep for 3D conversion) | 2 |
| Community Creations | Submit the image to the public community library | Free |
How to Access
- Open your model from the Dashboard
- Click the process/actions button
- Choose the action you want
- Configure settings if needed
- Results are saved to your model page
Most actions require a paid plan. Free tools (Export for 3D Printing, Texture Painter, Compress File, Add Base, Community Creations) run client-side or cost zero credits but still need an active subscription for downloads.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do with a 3D model after generating it?
3D AI Studio gives you over a dozen processing options right from your Dashboard. You can convert formats, reduce poly count with retopology, add a skeleton and animations, generate new textures, segment the mesh into parts, repair geometry issues, compress the file, and more. Just open your model and click the process button to see every available action.
Do model actions cost credits?
It depends on the action. Several tools in 3D AI Studio are free, including Export for 3D Printing, Texture Painter, GLB Compression, and Add Base. Other actions range from 1 credit (format conversion) up to 25-30 credits for more intensive AI processing like texture generation or smart low poly. The credits column in the actions table above shows the exact cost for each.
Can I process a model I uploaded myself, or only AI-generated ones?
You can use model actions on any model in your 3D AI Studio library, whether it was generated with Image to 3D, Text to 3D, or uploaded from your own files. Upload your model through the Dashboard, and all the same processing tools become available.
Which model action should I use to prepare a model for Unity or Unreal Engine?
Start with Format Conversion to export as FBX, which is the preferred format for both Unity and Unreal Engine. If the poly count is too high, run the Retopology action first to bring it down. 3D AI Studio also has dedicated integration guides for Unity and Unreal Engine with engine-specific tips.
