Tencent Launches Global Hunyuan 3D Platform for 3D Asset Generation

• Users can now create 3D models from text, sketches, and images using Tencent’s newly available creation engine.
• Enterprises can access the Hunyuan 3D API through Tencent Cloud and integrate it directly into their production workflows.

Tencent has launched its Hunyuan 3D engine globally, a full platform that uses its in-house models to generate 3D assets. The system supports multi-modal input, including text, sketches, and images. It includes tools for exporting files and integrates with existing 3D workflows, including Blender, Unity, and Unreal Engine.

In addition, Tencent has made its Hunyuan 3D Model API available to enterprises worldwide through Tencent Cloud. The API can be embedded into workflows supporting a range of use cases, including digital media, e-commerce, virtual environments, and 3D printing.

Tencent began open-sourcing its 3D models in November 2024. The company states it now these have over 3 million downloads on Hugging Face and more than 150 companies in China using it. Since then, it has added features like smart topology optimization and support for formats such as OBJ and GLB. With this launch, Tencent is offering its full creation platform and API to both global creators and enterprise users.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

Tencent’s models were already popular. This launch makes them far easier to use for individual creators or enterprise teams.
