Generative 3D service producing meshes from text, images and sketches
Tripo, built by VAST AI Research, generates 3D models from a text prompt, a single image or a rough sketch, and returns a textured mesh within a short wait. Its focus is the quality of the geometry rather than just the texture: the service offers refined high-detail passes, automatic rigging for simple characters and an animation library for common motions. Output exports to GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ and STL. A studio-facing API and a plugin ecosystem let teams place generation inside an existing art pipeline rather than treating it as a standalone toy.

Early previews typically appear within seconds, and a refined textured pass takes longer depending on queue and settings. Higher detail settings trade time and credits for accuracy.
It offers automatic rigging and a set of animation presets for humanoid models, which covers simple previews and prototypes well. Custom skeletons are still the safer route for production animation.
Yes, an API and plugin integrations are available, which is what makes Tripo practical for teams that want generation inside an existing 3D pipeline rather than one-off manual runs.
