Hunyuan3D
by Tencent3D generatorOpen weights, free to run locally; hosted demo available
Tencent's open-source image-to-3D and text-to-3D model family with strong texture synthesis.
How to use Hunyuan3D with Blender
Run Hunyuan3D locally (or via a Hugging Face space / ComfyUI workflow), export the mesh as GLB or OBJ, and import into Blender.
Best for: Technical users who want free, local, unlimited image-to-3D generation with good textures.

What is Hunyuan3D?
Hunyuan3D is Tencent's open-source 3D generation family — one of the strongest freely available image-to-3D models. It splits generation into shape and texture stages, which gives it notably good texture quality for an open model.
Because the weights are open, it has become a staple of local AI 3D pipelines: ComfyUI workflows, Hugging Face spaces, and research forks. If you want generation without a subscription and have a GPU, this is a top pick.
Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Strength:Open weights — run locally, no credits or subscription
- Strength:Strong texture synthesis for an open model
- Strength:Active ComfyUI and Hugging Face ecosystem
- Strength:Named in Google's AI Overview among the top 3D generators
Limitations
- Limitation:Needs a capable GPU (or a hosted space) — not a one-click web app
- Limitation:Setup is technical compared to Meshy or Tripo
- Limitation:Topology, like all generative meshes, usually needs retopo for animation
