Tripo AI is a 3D creation platform that generates models from text, images, sketches, and multiple views. Its High Detail Model feature can create models with up to 2 million polygons for rendering, visual effects, 3D printing, e-commerce visuals, and game workflows. Smart Mesh produces quad meshes from 500 to 25,000 quads for games, animation, and VR/AR/XR. Editing tools include AI texturing, segmentation, retopology, rigging, animation, and Smart UV unwrapping. Exports include GLB, GLTF, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL, and 3MF. The DCC Bridge lists Blender, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal, Maya, Cocos, Godot, and ZBrush. Developers can integrate generation through an API using API-key authentication; most generation tasks run asynchronously, with clients polling for results. Tripo is available on the web and through its API. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 200 monthly credits, one concurrent task, 15 exports, and 10 stored models. It is limited to non-commercial use, and its models are public. Tripo AI was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong.
