Text to 3D AI Generator: Create 3D Models from Text Prompts
Generate game-ready, textured 3D models from text prompts in seconds. Sloyd's text to 3D AI creates export-ready assets in GLB, FBX, OBJ, and STL — no 3D software or modeling skills needed.
Sloyd Text to 3D in short
Sloyd Text to 3D is an AI 3D model generator that runs in the browser and turns a written prompt into a textured 3D model with geometry, UV maps and textures. It is built for game developers, 3D printing hobbyists, e-commerce teams and anyone who needs 3D assets without manual modeling. Models export as GLB, FBX, OBJ, OBJ + MTL, USD, USDZ and BLEND for game engines and 3D tools, and as 3MF, STL, OBJ, PLY and BLEND for 3D printing. It is free to try: without a subscription you get one free Text to 3D generation per day with no account needed. Sloyd Plus and Sloyd Pro add unlimited Text to 3D generations, commercial use, 4K textures and monthly AI credits (50 on Plus, 350 on Pro) for Ultra generations of up to 500K triangles. Selling 3D prints commercially needs a separate custom license on every plan.

Prompt template
A Text-to-3D Prompt Template You Can Reuse
One skeleton covers almost every generation: name the subject, hint at the scale, state the materials, pick a style, then set the level of detail. Fill the five slots in order for a predictable result, or drop any of them and Sloyd fills the gap for you.
[subject], [scale], [materials], [style], [level of detail][subject]One object, named plainly- Sloyd reduces every prompt to a single primary subject before it generates, so name one thing. Ask for a knight fighting a dragon and you get the knight. Backgrounds, environments, weather, time of day and secondary props are stripped out, so leave them off and spend the words on the object itself. Characters are framed full-body for you and buildings are framed from the ground floor to the roof, so you do not need to ask for either.
[scale]Proportions, not millimetres- There is no size or dimension setting in Sloyd, and a measurement in the prompt has nothing to act on. What does work is wording: every adjective you supply is carried into the generation, so chunky, squat, slender, thick-walled, oversized head and baby all shift the proportions and the bulk. Set the real-world size in your engine or your slicer after export.
[materials]Surfaces, in plain nouns- Colour and material adjectives are kept deliberately, so brushed brass, red wooden, worn leather and glazed ceramic are all worth the words. Two things to avoid: results come out better without highlights or shiny surfaces, and transparent surfaces are unreliable enough that Sloyd rewrites glass as opaque. Ask for matte wherever you can live with it.
[style]A preset, or a style word- Sixteen core style presets ship in the picker: Realistic, Cartoon, Clay Morphic, Polygonal, Isometric Diorama, Hand-Painted Stylized, Detailed Anime, Stylized Anime, Cel-Shaded Comic, Painterly Comic, Sketch, Cozy Mobile, Retro-CRT/90s, Roblox, Color 3D Print, and No style preset for when you want none of it. Pick one and you can leave style out of the prompt entirely; type the style word instead and it is kept, because style, colour and material adjectives are the ones the generator is told to preserve.
[level of detail]Polycount, set beside the prompt- Detail is a slider rather than a sentence. Target face counts run from 3,000 to 500,000 triangles, stepping through 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 40,000, 100,000, 200,000 and 500,000. The low steps suit mobile and Roblox, the middle of the range fits PC and console, and the top 500,000 step locks topology to triangles and textures to 4K. Textures are their own choice, from 512 px up to 4K or switched off completely, and topology can stay on auto or be forced to triangles or quads. Words like high poly or simplified still shape the look; the slider decides the budget.
Mobile game prop
“Wooden supply crate, squat and thick-walled, worn pine planks with matte iron corner brackets, low-poly stylized, simplified silhouette”
RPG hero for a PC build
“Fantasy RPG hero boy standing in an A-pose, slender build with an oversized head, worn leather tunic and matte steel pauldrons, hand-painted stylized, high detail”
3D print miniature
“Baby dragon curled up, chunky rounded forms, no thin spikes, matte stone finish, clay morphic, medium detail”
Product visual
“Angular high-top sneaker, bulky platform sole, black rubber upper with neon mesh panels, realistic, high detail, matte finish”
Every slot is optional. Prompts can run to 4,096 characters, and two words generate just as readily as a full recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is text-to-3D AI?
Text-to-3D AI converts a written 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 geometry, UV maps, and textures for you. Sloyd produces export-ready assets in seconds, free to start.
Can I generate 3D models from text prompts for free?
Yes. Sloyd is free to start — no credit card required. Paid plans unlock unlimited generations, priority processing, and commercial licensing for production use.
Does Sloyd use generative AI to create 3D models?
Yes. Sloyd uses generative AI for text-to-3D and image-to-3D creation, and combines AI with parametric templates where that gives creators more control, cleaner topology, and faster iteration.
What 3D file formats does Sloyd export?
Sloyd exports GLB, FBX, OBJ, USD, STL, and many other formats. GLB and FBX are ideal for game engines. OBJ works well in Blender and most 3D tools. STL is the standard format for 3D printing.
Do I need to install software to use Sloyd?
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.
What's the difference between text-to-3D, image-to-3D, and templates?
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. Templates give you the most control — start from a handcrafted parametric base and customize shape, style, and details.
What kinds of 3D models can I create with text-to-3D?
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, product mockups, and concept visualization.
Can I also create 3D models from images?
Yes. If you already have a sketch, concept render, or reference image, use Sloyd’s Image-to-3D tools to generate a textured model from the image instead of starting from a text prompt.
How does text-to-3D work inside the Template Editor?
Inside the Template Editor, Sloyd uses AI to assemble models from a library of parametric parts created by professional artists. Your text prompt helps steer the generator toward the right template and variation while keeping the result editable and clean.
Can I turn my 3D model into a video?
Yes. Use a render or screenshot of your model as the start frame in the AI video generator and describe how it should move. The clip is generated with sound.
Is Sloyd a free AI 3D model generator?
Sloyd is free to try. Without a subscription you get one free Text to 3D generation per day with no account needed. The free tier comes with a personal-use license. Unlimited generations, commercial use, 4K textures and monthly AI credits come with Sloyd Plus and Sloyd Pro. Selling 3D prints commercially needs a separate custom license on every plan.
Can I use Text to 3D models commercially?
Commercial use is included on Sloyd Plus and Sloyd Pro; the free tier comes with a personal-use license. 3D printing is allowed for personal use, but selling 3D prints commercially, for example on Etsy, needs a separate custom license, so email support@sloyd.ai to arrange one. Reselling or redistributing the 3D files in a marketplace or asset store is allowed on Sloyd Pro only. The full rules are in the Terms of Use.
How do I get the most detailed and accurate text to 3D results?
Describe one object with its shape, materials and style, then set the Polycount slider to 500k (Ultra). Ultra generates up to about 500K triangles, locks topology to triangles and textures to 4K, and is available on Sloyd Plus and Sloyd Pro, where each Ultra run uses 5 credits from your monthly AI credits. Free generations are capped at a lower polycount.
