Sloyd 2.0 Is Here — Faster, Smarter, and More Creative Than Ever

We’re excited to finally share what we’ve been working on behind the scenes: Sloyd 2.0 is live!

This update is more than a fresh coat of paint — it’s a full revamp of the Sloyd experience. We’ve rebuilt the engine, refined the interface, introduced a powerful new texturing system, and even added a whole new way to create 3D models from images.

Whether you’re here to customize props for a game, generate 3D content for UGC, or just explore ideas visually — Sloyd 2.0 is designed to make creation faster, easier, and more fun.

Let’s walk through what’s new.

‍

A Smoother, Smarter Editor

We’ve reimagined the way you interact with your models. The 2.0 editor is cleaner and more responsive, with some key usability upgrades to make creating feel more intuitive:

• Render Images – Export your model with a transparent background for easy use in designs, portfolios, or marketing.
• Lighting & Background Controls – Customize the environment around your model, including background images, colors, and grid visibility.
• Visual WACK Widget – Quickly identify and edit parametric components with our new visual helper.
• Keyboard Shortcuts & UI Helpers – Designed to make editing faster and reduce friction.
• Quick Palettes – Instantly swap between curated color combinations to give your models a whole new look in one click.

These updates aim to make the creative flow more seamless — so you spend less time figuring things out, and more time making cool stuff.

Unlimited Downloads

One of the biggest changes in Sloyd 2.0 is something many of you have asked for:

No more credit limits on parametric generators.

We realized the old credit-based system created unnecessary friction — and often limited how much you were able to explore, create, and iterate. That goes against what Sloyd is meant to be.

So with this new release, you can now generate and download as many assets as you want directly from the generator editor if you're on a paid plan. No caps, no tokens — just create, tweak, and export freely.

⚠️ Note: The new Image-to-3D tool still uses credits, as it's powered by a different system and is still in active development.

We’ll keep listening and adjusting based on your needs — but this change is a big step toward giving you total creative freedom inside the platform.

Instant Texturing with AI (and Click-to-Texture)

‍

Sloyd 2.0 introduces a brand-new AI texturing assistant that adds detailed, high-quality materials based on a simple text prompt - now also on already generated models. Want to add “scratched sci-fi metal container”? Type it in — the material is applied in seconds.

You also have full control through the click-to-texture system, with features like:

• Hundreds of curated materials to choose from
• Previews and filters by style (Realistic, Semi-Stylized, Stylized)
• Adjustable resolution from 256 up to 2K

Whether you want to prompt, browse, or manually fine-tune, the new material system gives you the flexibility to get the exact look you want — fast.

A New Way to Start: Image-to-3D

One of the biggest additions in 2.0 is our image-to-3D tool — a powerful new way to generate a 3D model based on a single image.

Just upload a picture — a sketch, a reference, or even a rough design — and Sloyd will create a unique 3D model for you. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s ideal for quickly testing ideas or creating early concepts.

Right now, models generated from images can’t be edited like parametric ones — but you can still view, texture, and export them just like any other model.

This marks the beginning of a second creative workflow in Sloyd:

• Customize with parametric generators → for full control and iteration.
• Generate from images → for quick ideation and concept exploration.

It’s an experimental feature, and we’re eager to hear how you use it.

‍

Built on a Faster, Stronger Foundation

Behind the scenes, Sloyd 2.0 runs on a completely rebuilt backend. That means:

• Much more stable experience
• Faster loading
• We can now add new features more quickly (and more often)

Everything should just feel smoother, quicker, and more responsive.

‍

Designed with and for Creators

‍

One of our favorite parts of this release: we’re now highlighting the creators behind each generator.

Every generator in Sloyd was designed by someone — and now you’ll see a short backstory about the artist who made it, what inspired them, and how they envisioned it being used.

We believe tools should celebrate the people who build with them — and we’re excited to keep growing this creator-first approach moving forward.

‍

Even More Updates Worth Noting

• Sharable Links – Share models with a click, no exporting needed.
• Breadcrumb Navigation – Quickly move between projects, assets, and views.
• New Browse Section – A refreshed way to explore templates and featured creations.

‍

This Is Just the Beginning

Sloyd 2.0 is a huge step forward — but it’s only the beginning. We’re already working on more generators, smarter tools, and features that bring parametric and generative workflows even closer together.

If you’re already using Sloyd, we hope 2.0 helps you work faster, explore more ideas, and have more fun doing it.

If you’re new — now’s a great time to jump in and try it for yourself.
