Follow @TencentHunyuanThis has an very generous free plan that gives you 20 generations a day, the toplogy, while not that clean, provides highly detailed models.
cool stuff
High-end result for sure. Definitely above average AI output
Super clean mesh, barely needed any adjustments. Really impressed
I've finally tried this after translating the chinese texts. I reviewed several AI tools here and I can honestly say this is the best one overall. The quality is near Hitem3D, but this is free with 20 credits a day. You can't beat that!
UI feels more easy and mesh has good starting point for production pipeline
Huge downside is the only chinese language support. Not as fast as Meshy and not as accessible.
Great - but I'm not sure how secure the server is and if my work is copy write free ? Plus the language keeps changing back to chinese native which is a pain on the website. Tools consistently strong result.
this is amazing tool
I played with about a dozen generations and 2 of them I finished in Blender and 3D printed in resin & PLA. The end result was really impressive! I feel like texturing needs more work but I didn't play with it because I needed just the mesh.
I am thoroughly impressed with Hunyuan 3D. The model produces great results, and the availability of free daily generations truly makes it a winner for me. Highly recommended for anyone interested in 3D AI generation.
A great ai 3d tools, free and much better than most paid option, the only downside is when you try to create a model of a real portrait, it changes the face and wont give you good details, other than that its great also dont rely on texture output
very reliable results
best free 3d generator for all-around use
it's good because it's free and good at the same time
awesome 3d ai generator, just love hunyuan 3d studio
Hunyuan 3D Studio is awesome!
