Frequently Asked Questions
Text-to-3D AI is a technology that converts a written text prompt into a 3D model automatically. You describe what you want — like "a medieval knight helmet" or "a low-poly pine tree" — and the AI generates the geometry, UV maps, and textures for you. Sloyd's text-to-3D tool produces export-ready assets in seconds, free to start.
Yes. Sloyd is free to start — no credit card required. You can generate 3D models from text prompts immediately after signing up.
Paid plans unlock unlimited generations, downloads, priority processing, and commercial licensing for production use.
Yes. Sloyd uses generative AI for both text-to-3D and image-to-3D creation.
Sloyd also combines AI with parametric templates, giving you more control over geometry and topology than fully black-box generation — which means cleaner, more predictable results for game and print pipelines.
Sloyd exports GLB, FBX, OBJ, USD, STL, and many other formats. GLB and FBX are ideal for game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine. OBJ works well in Blender and most 3D tools. STL is the standard format for 3D printing.
All exports include textures where applicable and are ready to use without additional cleanup.
No. Sloyd runs entirely in your browser — no downloads, no plugins, no setup. Open the tool, type your prompt, and start generating 3D models immediately.
It works on any modern browser on Mac, Windows, or Linux.
Text-to-3D is best when you want to explore ideas quickly from a description. Image-to-3D is best when you already have a visual reference you want to bring into 3D. Templates give you the most control — start from a handcrafted parametric base and customize shape, style, and details.
All three methods are available in Sloyd and you can switch between them freely.
You can generate props, characters, creatures, weapons, furniture, buildings, vehicles, and other objects. Sloyd works best for individual objects rather than full scenes.
Common use cases include game assets, 3D printing models, product mockups, and concept visualization.
Yes. Sloyd's image-to-3D tool lets you upload a photo, sketch, or concept art and generate a textured 3D model from it.
This is useful when you have a visual reference and want to bring it into 3D quickly, without writing a prompt.
In the Template Editor, Sloyd uses AI to assemble 3D models from a library of parametric parts created by professional artists. Your text prompt guides which parts are selected and how they're combined.
This produces optimized topology and consistent results in seconds, while still giving you control over the final shape — ideal for game-ready and print-ready assets.
