Hunyuan 3D

Hunyuan 3D is Tencent's generative 3D engine that creates textured, animatable 3D assets from text, images or sketches, offered as open-source models plus a hosted global service with API access.

Hunyuan 3D is the 3D branch of Tencent's Hunyuan AI family, designed to compress days of 3D asset production into minutes. Users provide a text description, an image or a sketch, and the engine generates a textured 3D mesh; recent versions add texture generation and 3D animation on top of geometry. Tencent has released multiple open-source Hunyuan3D models, including fast turbo and mini variants that can produce 3D shapes in around 30 seconds, alongside a hosted creation engine that launched globally in late 2025. This dual approach lets developers self-host or fine-tune the open models while less technical users work through the web app and API. Hunyuan 3D targets game development, e-commerce, advertising, film VFX, social content and 3D printing. It offers a free tier for the hosted engine plus API access via Tencent and third-party platforms. Because much of the stack is open-source, it is one of the more transparent and extensible options in generative 3D.
