Introducing Hunyuan3D V3 Image-to-3D on WaveSpeedAI

The barrier between 2D images and production-ready 3D assets has never been lower. WaveSpeedAI is excited to announce the availability of Tencent’s Hunyuan3D V3 Image-to-3D—a powerful AI model that transforms your photos into ultra-high-resolution 3D models in seconds. Whether you’re building game assets, creating e-commerce product visualizations, or preparing files for 3D printing, this model delivers film-quality geometry with PBR textures from a single image.

What is Hunyuan3D V3?

Hunyuan3D V3 represents the latest evolution of Tencent’s acclaimed 3D generation technology. At its core, the model leverages an innovative 3D-DiT (3D Diffusion Transformer) hierarchical sculpting approach. Unlike traditional AI models that generate 3D assets in a single pass—often resulting in distorted features or unnatural proportions—this system builds models layer by layer for dramatically improved accuracy.

The results speak for themselves: Hunyuan3D V3 delivers three times the modeling precision compared to its predecessor, generating models at up to 1536³ resolution with 3.6 billion voxels. This level of detail rivals manual sculpting while completing in a fraction of the time.

With over 3 million community downloads on Hugging Face, the Hunyuan3D family has established itself as the world’s most popular open-source 3D model series—and now you can access its full power through WaveSpeedAI’s optimized inference infrastructure.

Key Features

Single-Image 3D Reconstruction: Generate complete 3D models from just one reference image. The AI interprets depth, shape, and structure to create detailed meshes without requiring specialized photography equipment or multiple angles.
Multi-View Input for Higher Fidelity: For complex objects, add back, left, and/or right view images to help the model recover intricate shape details and reduce reconstruction ambiguity.
Production-Ready PBR Materials: Enable physically-based rendering textures including albedo, metallic, and roughness maps. The model uses the Disney Principled BRDF model to generate materials with photorealistic light interaction—from metallic reflections to subsurface scattering.
Flexible Generation Modes: Choose the output that fits your workflow:
- Normal: Fully textured models ready for immediate use
- LowPoly: Polygon-reduced versions optimized for real-time applications
- Geometry: Clean meshes without textures for custom material workflows
Precise Mesh Control: Target specific face counts from 40,000 to 1.5 million polygons, balancing detail requirements against file size and performance needs.
Export-Ready GLB Output: Receive industry-standard GLB files compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, WebGL, and other major platforms.

Real-World Use Cases

Game Development and Interactive Media

Game developers can rapidly prototype props, characters, and environmental assets. The LowPoly generation mode produces topology suitable for real-time rendering, while the triangle/quad polygon options accommodate different engine requirements. Studios have successfully used Hunyuan3D for everything from casual mobile games to cinematic previsualization.

E-Commerce and Product Visualization

With global e-commerce projected to reach $7.4 trillion by 2025, 3D product visualization has become a competitive necessity. Product pages featuring 3D/AR models convert up to 40% better and see 30% fewer returns. Hunyuan3D V3 enables merchants to transform product photography into interactive 3D experiences without expensive studio setups.

3D Printing

The model generates watertight meshes with accurate volume and form reconstruction, enabling smooth transitions into slicing software. Export your models and print physical prototypes, custom figurines, architectural models, or replacement parts with minimal post-processing.

Virtual and Augmented Reality

AR shopping is forecasted to generate $90 billion in retail sales by 2027. Hunyuan3D V3 provides the asset pipeline to meet this demand, producing models optimized for immersive experiences across mobile and headset platforms.

Creative and Artistic Projects

Concept artists, animators, and digital sculptors can use generated models as starting points or reference meshes, dramatically accelerating creative workflows.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Using Hunyuan3D V3 on WaveSpeedAI is straightforward:

Navigate to the model: Visit wavespeed.ai/models/wavespeed-ai/hunyuan3d-v3/image-to-3d
Upload your image: Provide a clear, well-lit photo with the subject centered and fully in frame
Configure your options:
- Select your generation mode (Normal, LowPoly, or Geometry)
