Short answer
How can I make 3D models using text?
Your AI uses specialized 3D generation tools to convert your written descriptions into textured meshes. You'll get geometry and textures ready for use in your game engine.
Asset generation outcomes
What you'll get from your prompts
Depending on the complexity of your description, the AI produces different types of 3D data.
MESH
Textured 3D meshes
The AI builds a complete 3D object with textures applied based on your text. This is the primary output for most game props.
GEO
Raw 3D geometry
Get the underlying structural mesh for your objects. This works well when you need to refine the shape further in a modeling tool.
EDIT
Human refinement
The AI provides the base model, but you'll need to manually clean up topology or adjust UV maps in a dedicated 3D suite.
VAR
Iterative variations
You can tweak your text prompts to generate different versions of the same object. This helps you find the right look quickly.
The workflow
What your AI does when a prompt arrives.
The AI processes your request through a sequence of specialized 3D generation tools.
Initial generation
The AI interprets your text to create a basic 3D representation of the object.
generate_text_to_3dAdvanced geometry
For more complex shapes, the AI uses specific algorithms to build out the mesh structure.
generate_triposg_3dHigh-fidelity modeling
The agent can leverage advanced trellis structures to produce more detailed 3D assets.
generate_trellis_3dAsset delivery
The AI packages the resulting geometry and textures for you to download or use.
generate_text_to_3d

How this task behaves
- 01
Can the AI fix the topology of the mesh?
No. The AI generates the mesh based on your text, but it does not perform manual retopology or edge flow cleanup.
- 02
Does it generate animation files?
No. The tools focus on generating static 3D meshes and geometry, not rigged or animated characters.
- 03
Can I upload an image to make a 3D model?
No. These specific tools work by converting text descriptions into 3D assets.
- 04
What file formats will I get?
The output depends on the specific tool used, but it typically provides standard 3D mesh formats compatible with most engines.
- 05
Can the AI edit an existing 3D file I have?
No. The AI generates new assets from text; it does not have the capability to modify or edit your existing 3D files.
