Text to 3D
Describe it. Watch it appear in 3D.
🧠 What Is Text-to-3D?
Text-to-3D turns a simple sentence into a full 3D model. No modeling, no searching — just type what you need and Sloyd will generate a textured 3D asset in seconds. Perfect for organic shapes, fantasy creatures, and rapid concepting.
🚀 How It Works
Enter a Prompt Write a short, specific description — e.g.,
"a stylized goblin warrior with a shield""a realistic treasure chest made of gold and wood""a miniature haunted tree for tabletop games"Choose a Style (Optional) Pick from Realistic, Roblox, Cartoon, Clay Morphic, Color 3D Print, Detailed Anime, Hand-Painted Stylized, Isometric Diorama, Polygonal, Stylized Anime, Cozy Mobile, Retro-CRT/90s, Cel-Shaded Comic, Sketch or Painterly Comic. Leave it on No style preset to let the prompt decide the look.
🧠 If your prompt includes a style (e.g., "low poly" or "vinyl figure"), it will override this selection.
Pick a Preset Presets are grouped by what you are making. Each one sets a triangle budget and a texture size.
Game Dev
High Poly: 40k triangles, 2k textures. Detailed characters and props for modern game engines
Low Poly: 10k triangles, 512 textures. Optimized for mobile games and large scenes
Roblox Character: 10k triangles, 1k textures. Tuned for Roblox character imports
Roblox Accessory: 4k triangles, 512 textures. Tuned for Roblox accessory imports
3D Print
High Detail: 500k triangles, no textures. Maximum surface detail for high-resolution prints
Standard: 100k triangles, no textures. Ready for FDM and resin printers
Multicolor: 100k triangles, 1k textures. For multicolor 3D printing
Visualization
Standard: 40k triangles, 2k textures. Good balance for architectural and product renders
Ultra: 500k triangles, 4k textures. Highest fidelity for close-up renders and cinematics
Other
Custom: start from default settings and tune polycount, topology and textures manually
Generate & Review Sloyd creates a unique model with baked materials based on your prompt.
Texture & Export
Apply curated or AI-generated textures
Export in any of the formats listed below
Textures are embedded in .glb, .fbx, .usdz, .blend and the OBJ-ZIP option. Plain .obj, .usd, .stl, .ply and .3mf carry geometry only.
✍️ Prompting Tips
✔ Keep it focused — 1 object per prompt
✔ Use style cues: “low poly,” “stylized,” “realistic”
✔ Add material hints: “wooden,” “metal,” “stone”
✔ Add context: “for 3D printing,” “for a mobile game”
✔ Use clear adjectives: “bulky,” “glowing,” “spiky,” “ancient”
❌ Avoid full scenes or vague concepts
❌ Don’t mix too many ideas — keep it clean
🧪 Pro Tip: Try slight variations of your prompt to explore design options.
✅ Best Use Cases
Fantasy and sci-fi miniatures
Creatures, weapons, and props for Games, Roblox, Fortnite or similar
Organic decorations for game scenes
Quick visual ideas without image references
⚠️Limitations to Know
Reflective or transparent materials (glass, chrome)
Very thin details (wires, chains)
Facial features and characters may look rough or “off”
Generated geometry is fixed. You can retexture a model, but you cannot reshape it
Complex or multi-object scenes produce inaccurate results
Complex geometry may need cleanup if used in games.
📦Export Formats
Choose your format:
.glb,.fbx,.obj,OBJ-ZIP,.usd,.usdz,.blend,.3mf,.stl,.ply
Use .glb or .obj for most 3D workflows
Use .stl or .3mf for 3D printing
Textures are embedded in .glb, .fbx, .usdz, .blend and OBJ-ZIP. Plain .obj, .usd, .stl, .ply and .3mf carry geometry only.
🔁 Combine Workflows
Use Text to 3D alongside other Sloyd tools:
Image to 3D: best when you only have one image
Multi-Image to 3D: best when you have multiple views of the same object
Text to Image: best for fast concepting and reference generation
🌍 Who Is This For?
Game Devs: Build up scenes with stylized or background props
3D Printing Fans: Make printable objects from your imagination
Artists & Writers: Visualize ideas without needing modeling skills
Students/Educators: Learn 3D without touching complex software
