Turn Photos into 3D with Hunyuan 3D

Hunyuan 3D stands out through Tencent's proprietary 3D-DiT layered carving technology, which reconstructs geometry with exceptional precision while maintaining clean topology. Unlike basic conversion tools, our hunyuan3d engine understands object structure to generate animation-ready meshes with professional PBR materials. The V3 version offers 3x better resolution than earlier iterations, capturing details that competitors miss while producing models that integrate directly into production pipelines.

Generation speed depends on your selected version and quality settings. V2 with basic textures completes in approximately 30 seconds, ideal for rapid concept validation. V3 with full PBR materials finishes within 2-3 minutes, delivering maximum detail and professional-grade outputs. Both options are dramatically faster than manual modeling or traditional photogrammetry workflows that can take hours.

Hunyuan 3D excels with distinct, well-defined objects including products, furniture, characters, vehicles, sculptures, and architectural elements. Best results come from clear photographs with even lighting and simple backgrounds. The AI handles both organic shapes and hard-surface models effectively. For optimal reconstruction, avoid highly reflective materials like chrome, transparent glass, or extremely thin structures with complex overlapping parts.

While the underlying hunyuan3d technology supports multi-view input for enhanced accuracy, our current platform implementation focuses on single-image generation for simplicity and speed. Multi-view support is planned for future updates, which will allow uploading photos from multiple angles to reconstruct more complete 360-degree geometry with fewer artifacts.

Hunyuan 3D provides comprehensive format support: GLB for universal compatibility and web viewers, OBJ for traditional DCC applications like Maya and 3ds Max, STL optimized for 3D printing, GLTF for interactive web experiences, USDZ for iOS augmented reality, and MP4 turntable videos for presentations. Download the same model in multiple formats without regenerating.

Material quality scales with your version selection. V2 includes optional color textures that capture your subject's appearance. V3 with hunyuan 3d 3.0 technology provides high-resolution textures plus advanced PBR materials—albedo, normal, roughness, and metallic maps—ensuring realistic rendering in modern game engines and professional 3D software. These physically-based materials eliminate manual texturing work.

Absolutely. You retain full commercial rights to all 3D models generated from your uploaded images. Use them freely in client projects, sell on asset marketplaces, integrate into games or films, create marketing materials, or manufacture physical products. You're only responsible for ensuring you own legal rights to the source photographs you upload.

For optimal Hunyuan 3D results, use images at least 1024x1024 pixels, though 2048x2048 or higher captures finer details and produces superior texture quality. Ensure photos are sharp, well-focused, and properly exposed with minimal JPEG compression. Good diffused lighting works better than harsh shadows. Higher-quality input photos directly translate to better 3D model fidelity and more accurate surface reconstruction.

Yes! Hunyuan 3D generates watertight, manifold meshes ideal for manufacturing applications. The clean topology ensures proper slicing without errors. Export in STL format for direct import into slicing software like Cura or PrusaSlicer. Whether creating product prototypes, custom miniatures, or mechanical parts, hunyuan3d provides a fast pipeline from photograph to printable model with minimal adjustment needed.

The hunyuan 3d 3.0 version represents a major upgrade in generation capability. V3 delivers 3x higher geometric resolution (up to 1536³) capturing ultra-fine details like realistic facial features and complex architectural textures. It includes automatic PBR material generation, intelligent part segmentation, and one-click UV unwrapping that V2 lacks. While V2 remains excellent for quick iterations, V3 provides professional-grade quality for final deliverables and production work.
