How to Use Tripo3D P1 Text to 3D

Write a clear prompt: Describe the object, materials, and style in up to 1,024 characters.
Choose texture on/off: Texture-on gives you a fully PBR-ready model; texture-off is cheaper and faster, ideal when you'll retexture downstream.
Optionally cap polygons: Set face_limit (48-20,000) to control mesh density. Leave blank for the default.
Submit: The API returns a request_id. Poll the prediction endpoint until the result includes a .glb URL.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What format is the output?

A binary glTF file (`.glb`) that can be loaded directly into three.js, Unity, Unreal, Blender, and most 3D viewers.

Does texture quality change cost?

Yes. Generating without textures costs $0.40; with textures costs $0.50.

Can I control polygon count?

Yes - set `face_limit` to any value between 48 and 20,000.
