3D generation

Text- and image-to-3D models ranked by blind comparison arenas, the apps that generate and texture ready-to-use assets, and node-based pipelines that run open 3D models on your GPU.

Models are ranked by Rapidata Image-to-3D Leaderboard (benchmark.ai, Overall), 3D Arena (Hugging Face), Render view, then Top 3D AI Arena: Textured (monthly season) for models without a result on the first. Tools inherit the tier of the best model they offer. How we rank.
