Hunyuan3D vs Stable Fast 3D

Hunyuan3D is Tencent’s system for generating 3D assets from text, images, or sketches. The international platform accepts up to four multi-view images, offers model editing and adjustment, and exports OBJ and GLB files. Its capabilities include text-to-3D, image-to-shape, and texture generation; Smart Topology supports triangular and quadrilateral faces. Tencent Cloud documents API tasks for generation, texturing, topology reduction, component generation, UV mapping, motion, auto-rigging, and format conversion. Hunyuan3D-2.1 releases full model weights and training code, and its repository documents a local Gradio app. A Blender add-on is listed for Hunyuan3D-2. The stated VRAM needs are 10 GB for shape generation, 21 GB for texture generation, and 29 GB for both. First-time API activation grants 100 credits, valid for one year. Paid packs include 1,000 credits for 100 CNY, paid once and 10,000 for 980 CNY, paid once; pay-as-you-go is billed at 0.12 yuan per credit, with monthly settlement.

Stable Fast 3D turns an image of an object into a textured, UV-unwrapped 3D mesh. Stability AI describes the model as generating a 3D model from one image in under one second. It expects a 512 × 512 pixel input, applies a delighting step, and predicts roughness and metallic material parameters. The official code example saves the result as a GLB file. The repository includes custom nodes and an example workflow for ComfyUI, and API access is available. Documented inference options include CUDA, CPU, and experimental Mac MPS; Windows support is marked experimental. Default settings use about 6 GB of VRAM for one image. Stability AI identifies game and VR developers and professionals in retail, architecture, and design among its intended users.
