Bytedance Seed3d 2.0 Image To 3d API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!ByteDance Seed3D 2.0 is a fast AI image-to-3D generation model that converts a single reference image into a GLB 3D asset. Ready-to-use REST inference API for 3D asset generation, product visualization, game assets, AR/VR content, digital twins, creative design, and professional image-to-3D workflows with simple integration, no coldstarts, and affordable pricing.
Features
ByteDance Seed3D 2.0 Image-to-3D converts a single reference image into a downloadable GLB 3D asset. Upload an image of the object, choose a mesh subdivision level, and receive a WaveSpeed CDN output URL.
Why Choose This?
-
Single-image 3D generation Convert one reference image into a downloadable GLB 3D asset.
-
Subdivision level control Choose
low,medium, orhighsubdivision level depending on the desired mesh detail. -
GLB output The model returns a GLB file suitable for common 3D workflows.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
image | Yes | Reference image URL for the object to reconstruct. |
subdivision_level | No | Mesh subdivision level: low, medium, or high. Default: medium. |
How to Use
- Upload your image — Provide a reference image URL for the object you want to reconstruct.
- Choose subdivision level (optional) — Select
low,medium, orhigh. The default ismedium. - Submit — Generate the GLB 3D asset.
- Download the result — The generated GLB URL is returned in the standard WaveSpeed prediction response
outputsarray.
Pricing
Pricing is fixed at $0.40 per generation.
| Output | Cost |
|---|---|
| 1 generation | $0.40 |
Billing Rules
- Each request generates one GLB 3D asset.
- Each generation costs $0.40.
- The price is fixed and does not change based on
subdivision_level.
Best Use Cases
- Image-to-3D asset creation — Generate a 3D asset from a single object image.
- Product 3D previews — Convert product images into GLB assets for 3D display workflows.
- Prototype asset generation — Quickly create draft 3D assets from reference images.
- Object reconstruction — Reconstruct one main object from a clean, centered input image.
- GLB-based workflows — Generate assets in GLB format for downstream 3D use.
Pro Tips
- Use clean, centered images with one main object.
- Avoid cluttered backgrounds when possible.
- Make sure the object is clearly visible in the input image.
- Use the default
mediumsubdivision level unless you specifically need lower or higher mesh subdivision. - Ensure the image URL is publicly accessible.
Notes
imageis the only required field.subdivision_levelis optional.- Default
subdivision_levelismedium. - Output is returned as a GLB file.
- Ensure uploaded image URLs are publicly accessible.
