Step 1 - "Front View" Generation Start by generating the front view of each character (with a custom LoRA to lock in the style) I used “Action Plastic", a model designed to create characters with the toy-like aesthetic of classic action figures Link 👉

Emm | scenario.com1 year ago

Step 2 - "Back View" Once the front view is ready, generate the back. Head over to and select Flux Kontext ✏️ Prompt: “Generate the back view of this character” (feel free to add details) This step gives you control over front/back before going 3D.

Emm | scenario.com1 year ago

Step 3 - Click “Convert to 3D” on any character you like. Choose your preferred AI model from 7 different generators (Rodin, Tripo, Hunyuan, etc.). For better accuracy, load the back view from in Step 2. Then just hit Generate, and get an accurate textured 3D mesh in minutes.

Step 4 - Compare Models Instantly If not happy with the first result: 🔁 Switch the 3D model in one click - no need to re-upload anything or switch app. 🆚 Generate outputs side by side to compare mesh and texture fidelity. Quick, flexible iteration to find the best fit.

Step 5 – Export the full collection Once your your character set is ready: 📥 Batch select and download all your 3D assets at once into Blender or any 3D software of your choice for further editing. From idea to a full pack of editable 3D assets... in under 20 minutes.

Still looks like uniform topology though. Probably good for 3D printing and not much else?

Emm | scenario.com1 year ago

AI meshes are dense, it's no secret 🫣. You can tweak mesh density in the model settings - down to 500 faces or less with Hunyuan 2.1 on simple objects, for ex. For more complex assets, bring them into Blender for cleanup/retopo (until AI retopology makes it faster & easier)

I made a cute 3D wizard in minutes... for free The combo was simple: Unbound + Tripo. Unbound helped me shape the character idea, then Tripo turned it into a 3D model without the usual heavy workflow. The whole process felt fast, playful, and easy to experiment with If you’re a 3D artist, a visual creator, or just starting to explore 3D, try Unbound while it’s still free for a limited time. You can use it to create characters, creatures, and 3D models without feeling overwhelmed I'm sure many visual creators are going to love this Link in the first comment 👇🏻

New clean 3D AI workflow Control Rig physics in UEFN! Been exploring some more hybrid AI workflows lately, and for 3D assets splitting the model into parts is kinda essential. This video shows my first test using AssetHub, one of the cleanest ways i've used to keep the whole generation process organized. It auto-detected the pose in my main image and broke it down into parts, then generated images for each. From there I can just iterate on each piece separately and generate the 3D models in one workflow. AssetHub is still in closed beta atm, so let me know if you want to try it out. Main reference image came from Grok Imagine. All the part images and high poly meshes were done in AssetHub, selected Tripo 3.1 as the main model. After that I ran it through Hunyuan 3D for retopo + unwrap. Final assembly in Blender. Baked normals from high to low poly. End result: under 60K tris, 3 materials, 2K textures. Also Control Rig physics in Unreal Engine are insane. It finally validates in UEFN too, so of course I had to test it out.

Tested this concepting workflow. ▶️ Converting a level design image to a 3D asset gallery image ▶️ re-generating segmented subjects into separate high quality images. ▶️ using these images to generate the 3D meshes. First time using 'for loops' in ComfyUI, works great and the prompts are updated for every segment. I used the Nano Banana 2 API node in ComfyUI to generate the final high quality images. Those SAM3 nodes are crazy btw, just set some points and it creates a mask! For the 3D model generation I used the new Tripo Smart Mesh tool, which is fast! The output is not perfect yet. I think in a lot of cases not production ready right now but that depends on the input image and the goal as well. For pre-production / concepting phase it's perfect and for far distance meshes it’s fine. I’m sure these tools keep improving, curious what we can work with in 3-6 months. Minimal cleanup and scaling in Blender and tested the meshes in UEFN / Unreal Engine. After creating the ComfyUI workflow it took less than an hour to do everything.

Old Art to full 3D using Cinema 4D . Created a free and open-source plugin to bring Hunyuan 3D directly into Cinema 4D. This workflow combines multiple tools that are available today into a single, cohesive pipeline. I wanted to show that AI is never an end product by itself, it’s not the finality. Used properly, AI becomes an extremely powerful tool that lets you build exactly what you want. I hope you like it. The final step will be to bake all textures so I can share the project as a WebGL experience, a small interactive website to explore it directly in the browser. Made with heart, and with fal ❤️

✨ Made a new mini feature on Photo AI: [ Grab from 3d model ] So the problem is we're at that stage in time (typical for AI) where image-to-3d models are not good enough but are fun to play with, but we know they'll be good enough in 1-2 years With [ Make 3d model ] you already can turn any Photo AI pic into a 3d model but it still looks hyper clunky and deformed, but it works! One cool idea I had to make that more useful and made now: Let people make a 3d model then change the view of the it with the 3d viewer, then press [ o ] and it grabs a frame of the 3d That image you can then [ Remix ] (img2img), and it becomes a real photo again and that in turn you can then turn into a video again with [ Make video ] So that essentially gives you a fully freeform camera position control to take photos with One thing I need to fix is the background/skybox, I kinda need to take the original photo and remove the person and just get the background for the 3d model viewer, in this case it should be white, but it's a start!

The battle of the Text/Image to 3D Model 👍- To make this fair, I tested the same image across all platforms and used the first generated result. No cherry picking allowed! I also tested what I think are the 4 top services to use right now. Let me know what you think is the best 3D mesh generation from these platforms however I think it's quite obvious that Tencent Hy 2.5 is currently the king 👑 It wins in overall detail and sharpness, accuracy in relation to the input image, as well as texture generation and projection. Tripo 2.5 comes in second and Rodin 3rd with Trellis in 4th place. However, Rodin has the best topology since it can generate a mesh in quads BUT I left all of them in triangles to keep it fair. Hi3DGen can't be counted as it can't even generate textures and it has no multi-image support. Meshy was another option but the results were not great. Is there any other AI 3D Gen services that you know of that you want me to test as well?

I built a fully playable 3D platformer game in exactly 3 days, using almost entirely AI-generated assets. To test whether AI can really replace the asset grind, I came up with a steampunk cat universe from scratch and brought it straight into Unreal Engine 5. Here is how it was done, step by step: 👇 🎨 World and prop concepting 🧩 Tripo 3.1 for low-poly smart meshes and PBR textures 🩹 Blender for geometry cleanup and AO baking 🦴 AccuRIG for character animation 🚀 UE5 for level design and blueprints The craziest part is that AI handled the routine, and I still had the creative energy to make the level actually fun.

I made this entire ad without a team or learning 3D software. The process was simple but it was long. Most marketers think that AI is going to solve all their problems but it's just going to help the execution be faster. You still need: - taste - imagination - psychology fundamentals Otherwise you just get slop. I made this in 4 hours with one AI Tool and Premiere Pro. How to train my team so we can replicate hundreds of these for our clients. Who wants to see a tutorial?

Let's build the next character for the team! I’m continuing to test the modular character setup in UEFN using the Metahuman Component. Works really well with custom NPCs! For this new character, I'm back to a fresh 3D workflow using AssetHub . Still aiming for that flat/ anime style so I can go straight to the Tripo P1 model and get the low poly textured meshes to work with. Assembling and rigging are done in Blender. Again making a shape key for the eyes blinking. Because I'm going to use the same bone structure, I can re-use some Control Rig systems like the hair and eyes procedural animations. The character has 35K triangles and each accessory is about 2.5K.

🚀 Announcing Echo — our new frontier model for 3D world generation. Echo turns a simple text prompt or image into a fully explorable, 3D-consistent world. Instead of disconnected views, the result is a single, coherent spatial representation you can move through freely. This is part of a bigger shift in AI: from generating pixels and tokens to generating spaces. Echo predicts a geometry-grounded 3D scene at metric scale, meaning every novel view, depth map, and interaction comes from the same underlying world — not independent hallucinations. Once generated, the world is interactive in real time. You control the camera, explore from any angle, and render instantly — even on low-end hardware, directly in the browser. High-quality 3D world exploration is no longer gated by expensive equipment. Under the hood, Echo infers a physically grounded 3D representation and converts it into a renderable format. For our web demo, we use 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for fast, GPU-friendly rendering — but the representation itself is flexible and can be easily adapted. Why this matters: consistent 3D worlds unlock real workflows — digital twins, 3D design, game environments, robotics simulation, and more. From a single photo or a line of text, Echo builds worlds that are reliable, editable, and spatially faithful. Echo also enables scene editing and restyling. Change materials, remove or add objects, explore design variations — all while preserving global 3D consistency. Editing no longer breaks the world. This is only the beginning. Echo is the foundation for future world models with dynamics, physical reasoning, and richer interaction — environments that don’t just look right, but behave right. Explore the generated worlds on our website and sign up for the closed beta. The era of spatial intelligence starts here. 🌍 #Echo #WorldModels #SpatialAI #3DFoundationModels Check it out:

What about a 2 day version? After Andrew Price posted about the two extremes (fully manual vs fully AI car modeling), I wanted to try a hybrid approach. Not sure if his examples were more film or game-focused, but I’m aiming for a game-ready asset. Using AssetHub for the main workflow hub. Because of the canvas and part splitting tools , iterating is smooth here. Generating high poly meshes with Tripo inside AssetHub. Retopoly with Hunyuan 3D Studio. Texturing with Trellis2 in ComfyUI. Did some manual modeling for the rims since i still dont trust AI generated rims being 100% circular😄 Assembly in Blender. End result: car exterior + interior 36K tris. Wheels total still 32K hehe. I’d bake those tire detail normals onto a simple cylinder next. In UEFN / Unreal Engine i used a clear coat material to give the car some nice reflections. Is it perfect? No. retopo and texturing are still the weak spots, but that gap is closing. Would I use this in a game? 100%! (after improving the tires). If you want to try AssetHub, you can sign up and use JR1627 to skip the waitlist.

Alibaba presents MIMO Controllable Character Video Synthesis with Spatial Decomposed Modeling Character video synthesis aims to produce realistic videos of animatable characters within lifelike scenes. As a fundamental problem in the computer vision and graphics community, 3D works typically require multi-view captures for per-case training, which severely limits their applicability of modeling arbitrary characters in a short time. Recent 2D methods break this limitation via pre-trained diffusion models, but they struggle for pose generality and scene interaction. To this end, we propose MIMO, a novel framework which can not only synthesize character videos with controllable attributes (i.e., character, motion and scene) provided by simple user inputs, but also simultaneously achieve advanced scalability to arbitrary characters, generality to novel 3D motions, and applicability to interactive real-world scenes in a unified framework. The core idea is to encode the 2D video to compact spatial codes, considering the inherent 3D nature of video occurrence. Concretely, we lift the 2D frame pixels into 3D using monocular depth estimators, and decompose the video clip to three spatial components (i.e., main human, underlying scene, and floating occlusion) in hierarchical layers based on the 3D depth. These components are further encoded to canonical identity code, structured motion code and full scene code, which are utilized as control signals of synthesis process. The design of spatial decomposed modeling enables flexible user control, complex motion expression, as well as 3D-aware synthesis for scene interactions. Experimental results demonstrate effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.

Concretely, we lift the 2D frame pixels into 3D using monocular depth estimators, and decompose the video clip to three spatial components (i.e., main human, underlying scene, and floating occlusion) in hierarchical layers based on the 3D depth. These components are further encoded to canonical identity code, structured motion code and full scene code, which are utilized as control signals of synthesis process. The design of spatial decomposed modeling enables flexible user control, complex motion expression, as well as 3D-aware synthesis for scene interactions. Experimental results demonstrate effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.
