24 alternatives to TRELLIS 3D AI

Hi HN! I've built TRELLIS 3D AI, an open tool that converts 2D images into professional 3D assets using advanced AI technology. Technical Implementation: - Browser-based processing using WebGL - Structured LATents (SLAT) for maintaining geometric integrity - Dual output pipeline generating both GLB and 3D Gaussian formats - Real-time 3D preview using Three.js - Optimized for processing images up to 2048x2048px The core technology combines: - Pretrained vision encoders for image understanding - Rectified flow transformers for 3D geometry generation - Advanced neural networks for texture…

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. TRELLIS 3D AI launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    I ported Microsoft's TRELLIS.2 (4B parameter image-to-3D model) to run on Apple Silicon via PyTorch MPS. The original requires CUDA with flash_attn, nvdiffrast, and custom sparse convolution kernels: none of which work on Mac. I replaced the CUDA-specific ops with pure-PyTorch alternatives: a gather-scatter sparse 3D convolution, SDPA attention for sparse transformers, and a Python-based mesh extraction replacing CUDA hashmap operations. Total changes are a few hundred lines across 9 files. Generates ~400K vertex meshes from single photos in about 3.5 minutes on M4 Pro (24GB). Not as fast as…

    LiveSplat is a system for turning RGBD camera streams into Gaussian splat scenes in real-time. The system works by passing all the RGBD frames into a feed forward neural net that outputs the current scene as Gaussian splats. These splats are then rendered in real-time. I've put together a demo video at the link above.

    Hey HN! I’m Zach one of the co-founders of Adam (https://www.adamcad.com). We're building AI-powered tools for CAD and 3D modeling [1]. We’ve recently been exploring a new way to bring GPT-style image editing directly into 3D model generation and are excited to showcase this in our web-app today. We’re calling it creative mode and are intrigued by the fun use cases this could create by making 3D generation more conversational! For example you can put a prompt in such as “an elephant” then follow it up by “have it ride a skateboard” and it preserves the context, identity and…

    3D-to-photo is an open source tool for Generative AI product photography, that uses 3D models to allow fine camera angle control in generated images. If you have 3D models created using the iOS 3D scanner you can upload them directly on to 3D-to-photo and describe the scene you want to create. For example: "on a city side walk" "near a lake, overlooking the water" Then click "generate" to get the final images.

    I’m a Technical Artist. I built anyCreature, an open-source, mesh-based generative harness designed to programmatically quantify and enforce 3D aesthetics through three automated pipeline checks: 1. QC Thresholds: Automated pass/fail checks for standard game-engine specs (poly count, vertex budget, rigging, and animation tracks). 2. Quantified Aesthetics: Spatial vertex analysis to objectively measure mass distribution and form tension, ensuring biologically logical anatomy. 3. Silhouette & Readability: Automated high-contrast B&W renders and 24px thumbnail tests to guarantee visual…
