Tencent Hunyuan3D

What is Tencent Hunyuan3D?

Hunyuan3D is Tencent's family of 3D generation models, and HY 3D is the web studio built on it. You can create a model from a text prompt, a photo or a rough sketch, and the studio also handles texturing, low-poly output and simple animation. The global version at hy3d.tencent.ai gives signed-in users a number of free generations every day, with extra chances for inviting friends.

Earlier models up to Hunyuan3D 2.1 are openly released under a Tencent community license that does not apply in the EU, UK or South Korea, and Tencent runs free demos on Hugging Face where you can upload an image and download a GLB, OBJ, PLY or STL file without an account, subject to the shared GPU queue. Hunyuan3D is also one of the engines behind MakerWorld's Image to 3D and PrintU tools.

The web studio's download menu offers GLB, OBJ, FBX, STL and USDZ for regular models (rigged models are limited to GLB, FBX and USDZ), but there is no 3MF or print-specific export, so check each mesh for holes before slicing. It is a strong free option for hobbyists who want to experiment a lot before paying for a commercial service.
