- TRELLIS.2Open-source image-to-3D model that people use to generate 3D assets with PBR materials, and run locally. Critics say it is hard to use and falls short of its demos.27recommend
- MeshyPeople recommend it for good-looking 3D meshes from images or prompts, plus free starting credits. The most common caveat is heavy polygon counts and messy topology.13recommend
- Hunyuan3DRecommended for generating 3D meshes with good resolution and blocking out scenes; the common caveat is messy topology and textures.6recommend
- TripoRecommended for generating 3D models, often alongside Meshy. One critic finds the output hard to work with and unsuitable for serious eCommerce.5recommend
