Open-Source Image-to-3D and Text-to-3D Tools

Instant NGP is neural graphics software for researchers and developers working on 3D reconstruction and rendering. It trains representations of scenes and images on a single GPU, then lets you explore the results interactively.

SAM 3D Objects reconstructs objects in 3D from a single image. It's for researchers and developers who want to recover object geometry and appearance from photographs, including cluttered scenes with partly hidden objects.

Hunyuan3D generates 3D assets from reference images or text for artists and developers who want to work on their own hardware. Shape generation and texturing are separate, so you can create geometry alone or add textures to an existing mesh.

Procedura generates 3D assemblies for people who want to revise the resulting model in code. Each assembly is a parametric program with named parts and defined connections, so you can edit its source and compile the geometry again.

TripoSR creates a 3D object from a single image on your own hardware. It's for artists, developers and researchers who want image-based reconstruction for their projects or software.

TRELLIS is a local AI model for artists and researchers generating 3D assets from images or text. It supports several 3D representations and can edit generated assets as well as create them.

3D Gaussian Splatting reconstructs photographed scenes so you can view them from new angles. It's the authors' reference implementation for researchers and developers working on 3D capture, with support for complete scenes and distant backgrounds.

Visions of Chaos combines generative AI tools with fractals and complex-system simulations in one application. It's for digital artists, educators and people who want to explore machine learning or mathematical patterns without working through the equations themselves. Its AI models run privately on your own hardware, without paid online APIs or backend usage logging and telemetry.

InstantMesh generates 3D meshes from a single image. It's for creators working with image-based 3D assets and researchers studying 3D reconstruction.

Nerfstudio is a 3D reconstruction framework for researchers and developers turning photos or phone video into scenes they can view from new angles. It supports model training, testing and inspection within one Python framework.

Velocut is a local video editor and 3D scene studio for creators who want to edit manually or delegate work to Codex. Both work on the same project, with a shared undo history.

SkinTokens is an AI rigging project for 3D artists and researchers preparing meshes for character animation or simulation. Its TokenRig model generates a skeleton hierarchy and the skin weights that control how the mesh moves with its bones. Local inference requires an NVIDIA GPU with at least 14 GB of memory.

biniou brings AI chat and media creation into one browser interface on your own computer or server. It's for people who want to work with several kinds of generative AI without switching between separate apps.

ComfyUI is a visual AI workflow editor for creators who want control over generation and editing. Its node canvas lets you connect models and processing steps, inspect their settings and reuse the resulting workflows without writing code.

Stable Fast 3D generates a textured 3D asset from a single object image. Built on TripoSR, it's aimed at game and VR developers, designers and people making product models for e-commerce.

HunyuanWorld generates explorable 3D environments from text prompts or images. It's for game developers, VR creators and researchers who need scene geometry for interactive content or physical simulation.

ChatDev is a self-hosted AI agent platform for people building research, data analysis and software workflows. Its DevAll application runs the workflow backend on your computer or server, with a browser console for designing and overseeing agent teams. Model access uses your chosen provider's API credentials and endpoint; choosing a cloud provider sends model requests to that service.

Modly is a desktop app for artists, game developers and people preparing models for 3D printing. It turns a photo or text prompt into a textured 3D mesh using AI models on your own GPU.

TripoSG generates 3D meshes from visual references for people creating 3D assets or testing shape ideas. It accepts finished images as well as rough scribbles paired with a text prompt.
