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) Select from general styles like:
Realistic
Cartoon
Clay Morphic
Detailed Anime
Hand-Paninted Stylized
Isometric Diorama
Polygonal
Stylized Anime
🧠 If your prompt includes a style (e.g., "low poly" or "vinyl figure"), it will override this selection.
Pick an Output Preset Each preset changes how the model is optimized:
High Quality (~40k tris, 1024x1024 textures): for detailed renders
Low Poly (~5k tris, 512x512 textures): for real-time applications
3D Printing (no textures): solid mesh ready for printing
Generate & Review Sloyd creates a unique model with baked materials based on your prompt.
Texture & Export
Apply curated or AI-generated textures
Export in
.glb,.obj,.ply, or.stl
Only .glb, .usdz, and .blend stores textures in the object.
✍️ 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 not parametric — models can’t be edited with sliders like in the Template Editor
Complex or multi-object scenes produce inaccurate results
Complex geometry may need cleanup if used in games.
Snapshots, palettes, and toon shaders are only available in Template Editor
📦Export Formats
Choose your format:
.glb,.stl,.obj,.ply,.fbx,.blend, or.stl
Use .glb or .obj for most 3D workflows
Use .stl for 3D printing
Only .glb and .blend store textures in the object.
🔁 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
Template Editor: best for clean, editable, game-ready assets
🌍 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
