Tripo
3DTripo is an AI 3D model generator that creates meshes from text or images, aimed at games and animation. It offers speed-focused generation with strong format coverage at a lower monthly price than several competitors.
How to use Tripo
Provide a text prompt or reference image and generate a 3D model, then refine and export. Use the free plan to test, and subscribe to the pro plan for commercial licensing and more capacity. Export in formats like USD, FBX, OBJ, STL, and GLB for use across mainstream 3D software.
Best for
Fast text-to-3D and image-to-3D mesh generation. Assets for animation and game production. Broad export-format coverage for standard 3D pipelines.
How it behaves
A subscription credit pool is deducted per generation. The free plan gives a monthly credit allowance but no commercial use, and commercial licensing requires a paid subscription. It exports the standard 3D formats.
Tips
Subscribe before using models commercially, the free tier is not licensed. Start from a reference image for closer control. Export in your engine's native format.
Pricing
Free tier with 300 monthly credits for non-commercial use. The Pro plan is about $20/mo for a larger credit pool with commercial licensing, with higher tiers and API pricing available.
