AI 3D Model API — Text or Image to 3D
Live8 3D models across Tripo3D and MeshyMuapi's AI 3D model API turns text prompts, product images, or multi-view references into textured 3D assets. Choose fast value-oriented generation, premium Tripo3D tiers, or Meshy outputs with game-ready topology and multiple export formats.
Tripo3D H3.1 Text to 3D
Fast text-to-3D generation for concepts, props, and early asset exploration.
Tripo3D H3.1 Image to 3D
Create a textured asset from one reference image when a full turntable is not available.
Tripo3D H3.1 Multi-View to 3D
Fuse two to four views for better shape reconstruction and fewer hidden-side guesses.
Tripo3D P1 Text to 3D
Premium text-driven asset creation for more demanding production concepts.
Tripo3D P1 Image to 3D
Premium single-image reconstruction for detailed, textured asset outputs.
Meshy 6 Text to 3D
Generate a game-ready asset from a prompt with a production-oriented Meshy workflow.
Meshy 6 Image to 3D
Turn a reference image into a textured model with flexible downstream export options.
Meshy 6 Multi-Image to 3D
Use multiple reference views to improve proportions and details in the reconstructed asset.
What Is an AI 3D Model API?
An AI 3D model API converts a text description, a reference image, or several views into a textured 3D asset. It removes the need to run a local reconstruction pipeline and makes 3D generation available to product, game, design, and content applications through REST.
Muapi brings Tripo3D and Meshy into one submit-and-poll workflow. Start with H3.1 value tiers for iteration, use multi-view inputs when geometry matters, and move to premium or game-ready models for production output.
Key Capabilities
Text-to-3D
Describe a prop, product, or character and receive a textured 3D model without manually building the first version.
Image-to-3D
Use a single reference image to reconstruct an asset when only one view is available.
Multi-View Reconstruction
Send two to four images to give the model stronger evidence about shape, proportions, and hidden surfaces.
Topology and Polycount Options
Choose the model and schema that fit your required detail, geometry density, and downstream cleanup budget.
Textured, PBR-Ready Assets
Generate assets with textures suitable for further material work, previews, game scenes, and product visualization.
Submit and Poll Asynchronously
Keep your application responsive while Muapi processes a 3D job, then retrieve the completed asset from the result endpoint.

Prices and supported inputs vary by model. Check each model's Playground schema for output formats, topology options, and required image fields.
How to Call the AI 3D Model API
- Choose text, image, or multi-view input. Select the Tripo3D or Meshy model that matches the input evidence and asset quality you need.
- Host reference images when needed. Upload source images through POST /api/v1/upload_file, or provide publicly reachable URLs accepted by the selected schema.
- Submit the generation request. Call POST /api/v1/{model-slug} with a prompt, image fields, and any topology, texture, or output-format options supported by that model.
- Poll the prediction. Check GET /api/v1/predictions/{request_id}/result until the asynchronous task is completed.
- Save the asset and metadata. Download the returned model and textures to your own storage, and persist the model slug and request metadata for reproducibility.

Can I generate a 3D model from text?
Yes. Tripo3D H3.1, Tripo3D P1, and Meshy 6 include text-to-3D endpoints.
Can I use one image as input?
Yes. Tripo3D H3.1 Image to 3D, Tripo3D P1 Image to 3D, and Meshy 6 Image to 3D accept a single reference image.
When should I use multiple images?
Use multi-view models when you have two to four views and need more reliable geometry than a single image can provide.
Are the generated models textured?
The listed Tripo3D and Meshy models are intended for textured asset generation. Confirm the exact texture and export fields in the selected model schema.
How much does AI 3D generation cost?
The representative catalog starts at $0.20 per generation. Premium and game-ready options are typically $0.50 per generation.
Can I use one API key for Tripo3D and Meshy?
Yes. Muapi provides one API key and a consistent submit-and-poll flow across both providers.
