Hunyuan3D-2.0

Tencent's open 3D generation model that takes a single image or text prompt and outputs a textured, production-ready 3D mesh. Version 2.0 is a meaningful step up from the 1.x line: geometry is cleaner, textures hold detail at closer inspection distances, and the turnaround time on the hosted demo is fast enough to actually iterate on. What separates it from the Stable Diffusion 3D wave of last year is that the outputs do not require heavy cleanup in Blender before they are usable — the mesh topology is reasonable out of the box. The HuggingFace Space is free to try right now with no signup wall, which makes a Saturday evaluation genuinely low-friction. Honest reservation: complex organic shapes still struggle, and production pipelines will want to self-host the weights rather than rely on the demo endpoint. -> Best for: indie hacker or small SaaS team building product visualization, game asset pipelines, or e-commerce 3D tooling
