3D models build objects from a photo or a description for interactive showcases, games, augmented reality and prototypes. They cut the 3D designer's workload at the draft stage. Check the output formats, texture quality and what the license permits.
From a single picture of an object it makes a three-dimensional model in the form of Gaussian splats (the 3DGS .ply format). It takes a render, a generated image or a photo, removes the background itself, frames the object and fills in sides that the shot does not show, up to a million Gaussians. It runs on an ordinary graphics card with 7.2 GB of memory, in two seconds according to the authors. There are modes for renders and for photographs. The result opens in any splat viewer. The weights are Apache 2.0, but running it needs two gated encoders (DINOv3 and the VAE from FLUX.2-dev) with their own terms, which affects commercial use.

A diffusion model that creates three-dimensional body animation from a text description and set conditions: poses, positions of hands and feet, a route and points to pass through. There are versions for the SOMA skeleton (30 joints), the Unitree G1 robot (34 joints) and the SMPL-X human (22 joints). Version 1.2 is trained on a corrected set: in 1.1 some test recordings leaked into training, so the new version is the one to compare against other models. According to the authors, foot skating is reduced and text following is slightly weaker. The data of some variants is proprietary (Bones Rigplay), while the open variants are trained on Bones-SEED.

The family that started "single-pass" 3D reconstruction from a pair or set of photos without camera calibration. MASt3R added point matching and scale; MUSt3R and BLASt3R added video support.

It writes CadQuery code from images and a point cloud, then edits its own output over several rounds, comparing the resulting shape with the original. This is a draft model: an engineer checks and signs off the document.

VAST family: a 3D model from a single photo. TripoSR runs in under a second, TripoSG gives cleaner geometry, TripoSplat builds a scene from Gaussian points.
Generates 3D human motion animation from a text description: the skeletal animation is ready for 3D editors and game engines. Understands English and Chinese.
A single model builds a metric 3D reconstruction from photos, and uses camera, depth or pose data when available. One weights variant is under Apache 2.0.

Reconstructs a 3D scene and camera positions from a set of photos or a video without relying on a "reference" frame. Pi3X gives smoother point clouds and approximate scale in meters.
One of the strongest open 3D models: from an image or text it produces a textured mesh or a Gaussian scene. TRELLIS.2 is noticeably more detailed than the first version.
Tencent's open 3D line: shape and texture from an image, at the level of paid services. Omni adds control of pose and shape, Part splits a model into parts.
From a point cloud of a room or a walkthrough video it builds a structured plan: walls, doors, windows and objects with coordinates and sizes. It is a draft survey; final areas are confirmed by a specialist.

A successor to CAD-Recode: it builds a CAD model as CadQuery code from three kinds of input at once - a point cloud, an image and a text description. It produces a draft; an engineer checks and signs off the document.
It builds a sequence of CAD modelling commands straight from a text description of a part, from a beginner phrase to a designer-level wording. The output is a draft; an engineer checks and signs off the document.

Turns a point cloud of a part into executable CadQuery Python code, that is, a parametric 3D model you can open and edit in CAD. The output is a draft: an engineer checks and signs off the document.

It assembles a 3D model of a product from three standard drawing projections - front, top and side - including cases where the lines in the drawing are incomplete. The output is a draft; an engineer checks and signs off the document.
