Tripo API

Tripo API on WaveSpeedAI — the official Tripo 3D models over REST: H3.1 for high-fidelity assets, P2 for native quad topology and P1 for low-poly game assets, from text, one image or multiple views, plus Gaussian splats and tools to retexture, rig, animate, retopologize, unwrap UVs, segment and convert 3D models.

Generate production-ready 3D models from a prompt, a photo or 2 to 4 views, then process them: re-texture, auto-rig and animate characters, rebuild clean topology, unwrap UVs, split into parts or convert to FBX, USDZ, OBJ, STL or 3MF. Every endpoint runs on the same REST prediction flow as every other model on WaveSpeedAI.

Overview

About the Tripo API

What Tripo does, how it fits in the Tripo model lineup, and why teams reach for it.

Tripo is a 3D asset generation model from Tripo, available through the WaveSpeedAI REST API. Tripo API on WaveSpeedAI — the official Tripo 3D models over REST: H3.1 for high-fidelity assets, P2 for native quad topology and P1 for low-poly game assets, from text, one image or multiple views, plus Gaussian splats and tools to retexture, rig, animate, retopologize, unwrap UVs, segment and convert 3D models.

Generate production-ready 3D models from a prompt, a photo or 2 to 4 views, then process them: re-texture, auto-rig and animate characters, rebuild clean topology, unwrap UVs, split into parts or convert to FBX, USDZ, OBJ, STL or 3MF. Every endpoint runs on the same REST prediction flow as every other model on WaveSpeedAI.

The Tripo family on WaveSpeedAI ships 23 REST endpoints covering Image-To-3d, Text-To-3d workflows. Each variant carries its own pricing, parameter knobs, and example outputs — pick the one that matches your input modality and production constraints, or call several from the same API key to compose multi-step pipelines.

Run Tripo through the same API key, billing account, and rate-limit envelope you use for the other 1,000+ AI models on WaveSpeedAI. No separate vendor setup, no per-provider SDKs, no per-vendor rate-limit envelopes — one integration covers everything from text-to-image and text-to-video through audio synthesis, 3D generation, upscaling, and editing.

How to

How to use the Tripo API

Four steps from signup to a finished generation. Full Python, Node.js, and cURL examples are in the API section below.

  1. 01

    Get an API key

    Sign up for a WaveSpeedAI account and copy your API key from the dashboard. New accounts come with free starter credits — enough to run the playground a few dozen times before billing kicks in.

  2. 02

    Submit a prediction

    POST your input as JSON to https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/tripo3d/h3.1/image-to-3d. The endpoint returns a prediction id immediately — generations are async so you don't hold an open connection during inference.

  3. 03

    Poll for completion

    GET https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result. Return outputs on completed; stop with an error on failed, cancelled, timeout, or deleted; continue polling for every other status.

  4. 04

    Read the output URL

    Once status is "completed", read the URL from data.outputs[0]. The URL points to your generated media on the WaveSpeedAI CDN — image, video, audio, or 3D file depending on the Tripo variant you called.

Use cases

What you can build with Tripo

Common workflows developers and creators use the Tripo API for.

01

Game-ready characters and props

tripo3d/p2/image-to-3d produces clean quad topology that is easy to edit and rig; tripo3d/p1 makes compact low-poly meshes for mobile and real-time scenes.

gamesquadlow-poly
02

High-fidelity assets and 3D printing

tripo3d/h3.1 with detailed geometry produces up to 2 million faces for hero assets, product visualization and printing.

h3.1high-polyprinting
03

Rig and animate in one call

tripo3d/animate adds a skeleton to a humanoid or creature and applies walk, run, jump and other preset animations; tripo3d/rig returns the rigged model only.

rigginganimation
04

Fix and optimize existing models

Retopology rebuilds a dense mesh with fewer, cleaner polygons, Smart UV re-unwraps it, and Texture paints new materials from a prompt or an image.

retopologyuvtexture
05

Editable parts

Segment, mesh completion and smart segmentation split a model into named, separately editable parts, with hidden regions filled in.

06

Photoreal splats

tripo3d/splat/image-to-splat turns one image into a Gaussian splat for real-time, photorealistic rendering.

Tips

Tips for prompting Tripo

Practical advice for getting better outputs from Tripo — drawn from the patterns that work across 3D models in production pipelines.

  1. 01

    Pick the model by where the asset goes

    Use H3.1 for detailed hero assets and printing, P2 for quad meshes you will rig or edit, and P1 for light low-poly assets in games and on mobile.

  2. 02

    Give multiview the front first

    Multiview-to-3D needs the front view; add the left, back and right views you have for more accurate sides and back.

  3. 03

    Leave the forward axis for last

    Keep the default orientation while you texture, rig or retopologize, then set the export orientation in the convert step.

  4. 04

    Retopologize before rigging dense models

    Run very dense meshes through retopology first; a cleaner, lighter mesh rigs and animates more reliably.

Pricing
