Generate 3D models from text or images

The /3d command creates production-ready 3D models — meshes you can drop straight into Blender, Unity, Unreal, or a 3D-printing workflow. Generate from a text prompt, a single image, or up to four reference images for multi-view accuracy. Generation runs on Tripo’s H3.1 model and usually takes about two minutes.

How to use

/3d picks the mode automatically from how many images you attach:

Text-to-3D — no images, just a prompt:

/3d A stylized golden retriever puppy, low-poly

Image-to-3D — attach one reference image. Krater turns it into a 3D model. A prompt is optional.
Multi-view-to-3D — attach 2–4 images of the same subject for the most accurate geometry. More than four images are rejected.

Options

Open the options panel to tune the output. The cost updates live as you toggle.

Option	Choices	What it controls
Texture	None · Standard · HD	Surface materials and texture resolution
Geometry	Standard · Detailed	Mesh density and edge detail
Quad topology	On / Off	Quad-based mesh — better for animation and clean retopo
PBR materials	On / Off	Physically-based materials (metallic, roughness, normal maps). On by default and free
Multi-view orientation	Auto · Front, left, back, right	Tells the model which view each reference image shows. Multi-view only

Output

Format: GLB — the standard for game engines, AR, and web viewers
Includes: Mesh, UVs, baked textures, and PBR maps when enabled
Preview: Inspect the result in the built-in 3D viewer, or View in AR on mobile
Ready for: Blender, Unity, Unreal, Godot, three.js, and most 3D printers. If a tool needs FBX or OBJ, convert in Blender — it imports GLB natively.
One run generates a single object. /3d doesn’t build full scenes.

Prompting tips

Describe shape, style, and material:

Weak: “A chair”
Strong: “A mid-century modern lounge chair, walnut wood frame, cream linen upholstery, studio render”

Mention the art style if it matters — “low-poly”, “stylized”, “PBR realistic”, “voxel”, “isometric”.

For image-to-3D, use clean, well-lit references with the subject centered on a plain background. For asymmetric objects, multi-view inputs produce dramatically better geometry than a single image. Generated topology may still need cleanup before rigging or animation.

Credits

The live cost is recomputed from your option choices and shown before you generate.

Mode	Baseline cost
Text-to-3D	~67 credits
Image-to-3D	~101 credits
Multi-view-to-3D	~67 credits

Baselines assume Standard texture, Standard geometry, and quad topology off. HD texture, Detailed geometry, and Quad topology each add to the cost — the full range runs 34–218 credits depending on your choices. PBR materials never change the price.
