3D AI Studio vs Sloyd

3D AI Studio generates 3D models from text prompts or uploaded images. It also provides AI image generation and editing, texturing, quad remeshing, animation tools, and a built-in render engine. Flow is a node-based canvas for chaining image, text, 3D, video, and batch steps into reusable workflows. Users can choose Prism engines or external engines including Meshy, Tripo, Rodin, and Hunyuan. Exports include FBX, GLB, OBJ, STL, 3MF, USDZ, and BLEND for Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, or 3D printers. New users receive free credits without a credit card; image-to-3D and text-to-3D cost 20 credits each, while Texture AI, Remesh, and LOD generation are free. The REST API uses pay-as-you-go credits, asynchronous polling, and a default limit of three requests per minute per key. Generated assets are described as private, user-owned, and commercially usable. Browser and API access are available.

Sloyd generates 3D models from text prompts or images and provides tools to refine them without extensive manual 3D work. Its handcrafted parametric templates use sliders for changing shapes, proportions, and details. Other tools cover AI rigging and animation, image creation and editing, retexturing, 4K texture editing, and skybox generation. Users can set target polygon counts and choose quad topology for manual editing or animation. The authenticated REST API handles asynchronous generation and editing jobs, with controls for polycount, topology, and texture resolution. Native plugins are available for Roblox, Unity, Unreal, Godot, Maya, and Blender. Plugin exports include FBX, GLB, and OBJ; API downloads also include USD, USDZ, BLEND, PLY, STL, and 3MF. The free Guest plan allows one AI generation per day and community-model downloads only. Sloyd Plus costs $15 a month, while Sloyd Pro costs $50 a month; both include commercial use, and marketplace reselling is limited to Pro.
