Frequently asked questions
What is a text to 3D API?
+
A text to 3D API generates a three-dimensional asset from a prompt. The chosen endpoint controls the geometry, textures and files returned. It can accelerate initial asset creation, while production use still requires inspection in the target 3D workflow.
How do I write a prompt for 3D model generation?
+
Describe one main object with its shape, proportions, materials and visual style. Avoid combining a whole scene with several unrelated objects in one initial request. Use a clear focal asset and refine the brief after inspecting the first mesh.
Is the output a real 3D mesh or just a rendered image?
+
Text to 3D models generate 3D assets with files documented by the endpoint. A preview image is only a view of that asset. Check the completed response for geometry and texture outputs, then open the supported file in a 3D viewer or editor.
Which 3D export formats are available?
+
Formats depend on the model and operation. Review the documented output files rather than assuming every endpoint returns GLB, OBJ, FBX or STL. Confirm that your target editor or engine imports the format and that any required textures are downloaded with it.
Can I control polygon count, topology and textures?
+
Some models expose mesh, low-poly or texture options. Check the exact settings for your endpoint and inspect the result rather than treating a requested polygon target as proof of production suitability. Retopology and texture adjustment may still be part of your workflow.
Can I use generated assets in Blender, Unity or Unreal?
+
Check the file format and material import requirements for your target application. Test a downloaded asset for scale, orientation, geometry and texture links. A successful generation is only the first step; verify the asset in the engine or editor where it will actually be used.
Are generated characters already rigged and animation-ready?
+
Do not assume rigging is included. Mesh generation, rigging and animation are separate capabilities unless the chosen endpoint explicitly combines them. Inspect character geometry and pose, then use a suitable rigging and animation step when needed.
Can I 3D print the generated model?
+
Inspect the mesh in a suitable editor or slicer for scale, wall thickness, watertightness and unsupported geometry. A good-looking preview does not prove printability. Use an appropriate export or conversion step and repair the asset before printing when necessary.
How do I retrieve a text to 3D API result?
+
Submit the selected model and prompt through PoYo generation, save task_id and retrieve the completed response by polling or a supported callback. Download the documented mesh and texture files, and preserve their relationship so materials can load correctly in the next tool.
How is text to 3D API pricing calculated?
+
Check the current tier for the selected model, generation mode and texture options. Draft, detailed and low-poly workflows can have different rates. Include any separately priced refinement or processing steps when estimating the cost of a usable asset.
Why does my generated 3D object have missing or distorted details?
+
Complex prompts, thin structures and ambiguous shapes can be difficult to reconstruct. Simplify the object, describe its silhouette more clearly and compare model options. Use an image reference when a particular design is important, and plan manual cleanup for production-critical geometry.
When should I use Image to 3D instead?
+
Use Image to 3D when you already have a product photo, character design or concept image whose appearance should guide the asset. Use Text to 3D for early exploration from a written brief. Compare both workflows on the final mesh, not only the preview image.
