Tripo AI · Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong · founded 2023
What it is
Tripo AI is a 3D creation platform that generates models from text, images, and multiple views; sketch-to-3D is also listed. Its High Detail Model feature creates models with up to 2 million polygons for rendering, visual effects, 3D printing, e-commerce visuals, and game workflows. Smart Mesh produces quad meshes from 500 to 25,000 quads for games, animation, and VR/AR/XR. Editing tools include AI texturing, model segmentation, retopology, rigging, animation, and Smart UV unwrapping. Exports are available in GLB, GLTF, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL, and 3MF formats. The DCC Bridge lists Blender, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal, Maya, Cocos, Godot, and ZBrush. Developers can use its API, where most generation tasks run asynchronously and require polling for results. The Free plan includes 200 monthly credits, one concurrent task, 15 exports, and 10 stored models, but is limited to non-commercial use and makes models public. Tripo AI was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong.
