Prior to today’s global debut, Tencent’s open-sourced Hunyuan 3D Models have earned worldwide acclaim and popularity among developers and creators

Tencent’s Hunyuan 3D capabilities launches globally, enabling creators to generate commercial-grade 3D assets with multimodal inputs.

Tencent today announced the official global launch of its Hunyuan 3D creation engine, bringing next-generation AI-powered 3D modeling tools to worldwide creators. With this release, users can instantly generate high-quality 3D assets from multimodal inputs such as text descriptions, images, or sketches (Refer to Appendix). This cuts production time from days or weeks to just minutes, eliminating the complexity of traditional workflows.

In addition, Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, has made the Hunyuan 3D Model API available to global enterprises. This enables enterprises to seamlessly integrate advanced 3D generation capabilities into their workflows – for use cases such as game development, e-commerce promotion, special effects for filming, advertising, social media content creation, 3D printing, and more.

Users of Tencent Hunyuan 3D Global will receive 20 free generations daily, while enterprise users plugged into the Hunyuan 3D Model API via Tencent Cloud are set to receive 200 free credits which can be used for generating 3D assets.

Hunyuan 3D Large Model leads global industry for text-to-image, video, and 3D generation

Tencent’s Hunyuan 3D, an in-house developed generative AI large model, has become one of the most advanced in the Hunyuan series. Since the release of several open-sourced 3D models in November 2024, it has surpassed 3 million community downloads on Hugging Face, earning recognition as one of the world’s most popular 3D open-source models among developers, creators and the open-sourced community globally. 

The Hunyuan 3D series has since evolved through multiple iterations, each improving generation quality and modeling accuracy. Today, models such as Hunyuan 3D 3.0 focuses on high-quality asset production for objects, while specialized Hunyuan3D World models are designed to help construct large scale interactive environments that users can roam in, opening new creative possibilities in in gaming, virtual reality and digital content creation.

More than 150 enterprises in Mainland China have integrated Tencent Hunyuan 3D Model through Tencent Cloud, including globally renowned real-time 3D engine company Unity China, leading consumer-grade 3D printing company Bambu Lab, and China’s largest AI content creation platform Liblib, among others.

The Hunyuan 3D international platform offers professional-grade model editing and adjustment capabilities, supports output in mainstream 3D formats such as OBJ and GLB, and can be seamlessly integrated into professional software like Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender. It adapts to various workflows, enabling generated 3D assets to be immediately used in real projects.

Multi-modal inputs supported by Hunyuan 3D:

A) Text-to-3D: Instantly generate 3D models from natural language descriptions with precise fidelity to style, shape, and material details.

B) Image-to-3D: Upload up to four multi-view images to create accurate 3D models that capture geometry and texture with high precision.

C) Sketch-to-3D: Transform simple sketches into fully detailed 3D models by adding text-based attributes such as color, category, and material.

D) Smart Topology: Automatically optimize mesh topology for efficient rendering and compliance with professional standards, supporting both triangular and quadrilateral faces.
