3D Model Generator API — Text or Image to 3D
Live8 modelsMuapi's 3D generation API turns a text prompt, a single image, or 2-4 multi-view images into a textured 3D mesh through a single unified REST endpoint. Eight models across Tripo3D and Meshy cover text-to-3D, image-to-3D, and multi-view reconstruction, with configurable topology, polygon count, and PBR materials — outputting game-ready .glb (plus FBX/OBJ/USDZ on Meshy) from $0.20 per generation.
Tripo3D H3.1 Text to 3D
High-quality text-to-3D with selectable texture/geometry quality, optional PBR materials, and quad-topology output. Best price-to-quality on the platform for game-ready assets.
Tripo3D H3.1 Image to 3D
Convert a single image into a highly detailed 3D model with selectable texture quality and optional quad topology. Ideal for product visualization.
Tripo3D H3.1 Multi-View to 3D
Reconstruct a 3D model from 2-4 reference images taken from different angles. Multi-view consistency yields the most accurate geometry for asymmetric objects.
Tripo3D P1 Text to 3D
Generate textured 3D meshes directly from a text prompt. Outputs a clean .glb with optional PBR textures and configurable polygon count.
Tripo3D P1 Image to 3D
Turn a single reference image into a textured 3D mesh. Output is a watertight .glb ready for game engines, AR, or 3D printing pipelines.
Meshy 6 Text to 3D
Generate detailed 3D models from text with configurable topology, polygon count, symmetry, and optional PBR materials. Tuned for clean game-ready topology.
Meshy 6 Image to 3D
Generate a clean 3D mesh from a single reference image. Output is a textured .glb plus FBX/OBJ/USDZ alternatives, with optional PBR materials.
Meshy 6 Multi-Image to 3D
Reconstruct a 3D mesh from 1-4 reference images. Multi-view inputs produce more accurate geometry for complex or asymmetric objects.
What is a 3D Model Generator API?
A 3D model generator API converts a text description or reference image into a textured 3D mesh — a .glb, FBX, OBJ, or USDZ file ready for game engines, AR/VR, 3D printing, or product visualization — without manual modeling.
Muapi exposes eight 3D generation endpoints across two providers, Tripo3D and Meshy, through the same unified REST pattern used across every model on the platform — one API key, one request/poll flow, pay-per-generation.
Key Capabilities
Text, Image, and Multi-View Input
Generate from a text prompt alone, a single reference image, or 2-4 multi-view images for the most accurate geometry on asymmetric objects.
Configurable Topology & Polycount
Meshy 6 exposes topology, target polygon count, remeshing, and symmetry mode; Tripo3D H3.1 offers separate texture/geometry quality tiers and quad-topology output for game engines.
PBR Materials
Both providers support optional physically-based rendering (PBR) materials for realistic lighting response in game engines and renderers.
Multiple Export Formats
Meshy models return a textured .glb plus FBX, OBJ, and USDZ alternatives; Tripo3D returns a clean, watertight .glb.
Two Tripo3D Tiers
Tripo3D H3.1 is the best price-to-quality option ($0.20-$0.30); Tripo3D P1 is the premium tier ($0.50) for higher-fidelity output.
Same Submit-and-Poll Pattern
All eight models return a request_id you poll for completion — identical integration code as every other model on Muapi.
3D Generation Model Comparison
| Model | Input | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tripo3D H3.1 Text to 3D | Text | $0.20 / generation | Best price-to-quality, game-ready quad topology |

| Tripo3D H3.1 Multi-View to 3D | 2-4 images | $0.20 / generation | Most accurate geometry for asymmetric objects |
| Tripo3D P1 Text to 3D | Text | $0.50 / generation | Premium quality text-to-3D |
| Tripo3D P1 Image to 3D | Image | $0.50 / generation | Premium quality image-to-3D |
| Meshy 6 Text to 3D | Text | $0.50 / generation | Configurable topology/polycount, multi-format export |
| Meshy 6 Image to 3D | Image | $0.50 / generation | Clean mesh with FBX/OBJ/USDZ export |
| Meshy 6 Multi-Image to 3D | 1-4 images | $0.50 / generation | Complex or asymmetric object reconstruction |
How to Generate a 3D Model via API
- Pick an input type — text prompt, single image, or 2-4 multi-view images for the most accurate geometry.
- Pick a provider — Tripo3D H3.1 for best price-to-quality, Tripo3D P1 or Meshy 6 for premium output.
- Set topology options — target polygon count, quad topology, symmetry mode, and whether to enable PBR materials.
- Submit the request —
POST /api/v1/{model-slug}with your prompt/image and mesh parameters. - Poll for completion — check
GET /api/v1/predictions/{request_id}/resultuntilstatusiscompleted, then download the .glb/FBX/OBJ/USDZ output.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3D Model Generator API?
Muapi's 3D generation API converts text or images into a textured 3D mesh via a single REST endpoint. Eight models across Tripo3D and Meshy cover text-to-3D, image-to-3D, and multi-view reconstruction.
Which model should I use?
Tripo3D H3.1 offers the best price-to-quality for most use cases ($0.20-$0.30). Choose Meshy 6 if you need FBX/OBJ/USDZ exports alongside .glb, or Tripo3D P1 for premium quality.
Can I generate a 3D model from multiple photos?
Yes — both Tripo3D H3.1 Multi-View to 3D and Meshy 6 Multi-Image to 3D accept 2-4 (or 1-4) reference images for more accurate geometry on asymmetric objects.
How much does 3D generation cost?
From $0.20 per generation on Tripo3D H3.1 text-to-3D and multi-view, up to $0.50 per generation on Tripo3D P1 and Meshy 6.
What file formats are returned?
Tripo3D returns a clean, watertight .glb. Meshy returns a textured .glb plus FBX, OBJ, and USDZ alternatives.
