Hyper3D Rodin

Generate detailed 3D models from text or images

by Deemos

Overview

Hyper3D Rodin generates 3D meshes from a reference image, several images or text, exporting STL, FBX, OBJ, GLB, GLTF or USDZ. In the Gen-2.5 API documentation, input can be one image or up to five, with the first image driving the material, and text generation needs a prompt of up to 1,024 characters and no image. Raw output is a triangle mesh and quad output is available, with the default following the tier; Gen-2.5's HighPack raises textures from 2K to 4K rather than adding high-polygon geometry. Submitting, waiting for completion and fetching a download link are separate steps, each request reports what it actually consumed, and concurrent tasks draw on the same account balance. On price, the Free tier is $0 with credits available to buy at $1.5 each, gives a free preview before you confirm, and limits exports to legacy models with 10 private assets; Creator is $30 a month or $288 a year, equivalent to $24 a month, and adds Smart Low-Poly, HD and custom textures, normal baking, 20 geometry and 6 material redos, plus unlimited exports and private assets; Business is $120 a month or $1,152 a year, equivalent to $96 a month, and adds full API access, high-polygon quad output and 50/15 redos. A fixed monthly credit figure could not be verified in what we could read, and the pricing page estimates output as about 60 or 416 models; API rights are listed on Business rather than Creator, and the terms say a chosen plan cannot be cancelled or downgraded inside its subscription period where the pricing page describes monthly and annual billing. A two-month lump-sum payment condition attributed in an earlier capture does not appear in the body read on 2 November 2026, so the first amount due is still something to confirm at checkout. The Rodin section of the terms allows using generated output subject to your rights in the input and to applicable law, without warranting that copyright will subsist in it.

Whether your prompts and outputs train Rodin's models is not established from the pages we could read: the privacy policy lists broad purposes such as advancing and enhancing its services and building predictive models, and the terms reserve the right to use prompts and outputs to provide, maintain and improve the services and to support research while stopping you from training competing models - neither document says your content trains the models, so no training claim is made here. Retention is stated in the user's favour: the information you input and the feedback you give are kept while the account exists and removed or anonymised after you deactivate it or delete the data, apart from legal, financial, audit or dispute obligations (Rodin privacy policy and terms, read 12 October 2026).

Editor's take

Worth considering when the workflow is image-to-3D with control over topology and textures, and when you are willing to check the mesh and materials before using them downstream. What decides the fit is the tier boundary rather than the generator: previewing is free, but exports on the free tier are limited to legacy models, standard API access is a Business feature, and the plan a preview leads to is the one you pay for. We could not fully verify the API's per-call rates or how they relate to the web credit wallet, and we have not tested geometry or texture quality.

Our reading of who this suits, based on the sources above. Opinion, offered to help you decide - not a lab result.

Key Features

Gen-2.5 API: generation from one to five images, with the first image driving the material, or from text alone
Gen-2.5 API prompt limit for text generation: 1,024 characters, with no image supplied
Gen-2.5 API: raw triangle mesh or quad output, with the default depending on the tier
Export to STL, FBX, OBJ, GLB, GLTF or USDZ
Gen-2.5 API HighPack raising textures from 2K to 4K
Creator $30/month or $288/year with unlimited exports; Business $120/month or $1,152/year with API access

Use Cases

Turning photos or concept art into a game asset
Generating a base mesh to retopologise
Producing textures for an existing model
Feeding a 3D printing pipeline after inspection

Pros

✓Multi-image input and explicit mesh and texture controls are documented
✓Creator and Business run to unlimited exports and private assets
✓Per-request credit consumption is reported in each response, and concurrent tasks share the balance
✓The free tier gives a preview before you commit, with credits purchasable individually

Cons

✕Free-tier exports are limited to legacy models, and standard API access starts at Business rather than Creator
✕A fixed monthly credit figure could not be verified in what we could read; the page estimates output as about 60 or 416 models and reports consumption per request
✕The terms read on 2 November 2026 do not state the previously recorded two-month condition; the first amount due still needs confirmation at checkout
✕In the Gen-2.5 API, HighPack raises texture resolution from 2K to 4K rather than geometry, so it is not a high-polygon upgrade
✕Export formats do not establish CAD-level dimensional accuracy, printability or game performance; the API specification was readable only through its search index in this round, and output quality is untested here

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the free tier actually allow?

It gives a free preview before you confirm, 10 private assets, and exports limited to legacy models, with credits available to buy at $1.5 each. That is a different set of conditions from a volume allowance, so previewing is not the same as exporting and using the current models.

Can I use Rodin output commercially?

The terms allow using generated output, subject to your rights in whatever you supplied and to applicable law, and they do not warrant that copyright will subsist in the result. Pricing puts the broader export and usage rights on the paid tiers, so the honest answer depends on the model, the plan and the terms rather than on one rule for all free output.

Which formats and inputs are supported?

Export is STL, FBX, OBJ, GLB, GLTF or USDZ. In the Gen-2.5 API, input is one to five images with the first image supplying the material, or text alone with a prompt of up to 1,024 characters and no image; raw output is a triangle mesh with quad output available, and the default depends on the tier.

How much does it cost?

Creator is $30 a month or $288 a year, equivalent to $24 a month, adding unlimited exports, private assets, Smart Low-Poly, HD and custom textures and normal baking; Business is $120 a month or $1,152 a year, equivalent to $96 a month, adding full API access and high-polygon quad output. We could not verify a fixed monthly credit figure in what we could read, and the pricing page estimates output as about 60 or 416 models; the terms read on 2 November 2026 do not state the previously recorded two-month condition, so confirm the first amount at checkout.

Key facts and where they come from

PriceNot established: The current Rodin page describes monthly and yearly subscriptions, and the terms read on 2 November 2026 state that a chosen plan cannot be cancelled or downgraded within its subscription period. The two-month lump-sum payment condition attributed earlier does not appear in the body read on that date and is withdrawn. Unestablished currency-qualified market conditions still prevent a verified minimum payable quote.Source: Hyper3D Rodin - pricing · Hyper3D - terms of service
AvailabilityNot established: Country-by-country distribution and actual reachability of the selected product and plan are not established by the registered sources. A platform list, hosting location or payment-region note does not establish access from a particular country.Source: Hyper3D Rodin - site and FAQ · Hyper3D Rodin - API quick start
Commercial useNot established: The Rodin terms permit generated-output use subject to input rights and law, but do not explicitly establish the full commercial licence by free/paid plan; output-use rights are not a copyright guarantee.Source: Hyper3D - terms of service
Training on your dataNot established: The terms allow service improvement/research and the privacy page describes predictive models, but neither registered clause says prompts or outputs train Rodin models. Training use remains unestablished.Source: Hyper3D - terms of service · Hyper3D Rodin - privacy policy
API billingNot established: API tasks share the account balance and report consumed usage, but a per-task rate table and free/paid API billing entitlements are not established.Source: Hyper3D Rodin - pricing · Hyper3D Rodin - API features
Export formatsDocumented: The homepage lists STL, FBX, OBJ, GLB, GLTF and USDZ exports. The list does not verify a delivered asset’s printability, game performance or geometry quality.Source: Hyper3D Rodin - site and FAQ
Usage limitsNot established: The current Rodin pricing page publishes Business API 120/240 RPM and redo counts, and calls model-output counts estimates. The Gen-2.5 API specification fetch failed; fixed per-plan credit/task allowances and their applicable reset/carryover rules remain unestablished.Source: Hyper3D Rodin - Gen-2.5 API specification · Hyper3D Rodin - pricing

Official sources

The vendor pages we read for the claims on this page, what each one states, and the day we read it.

Hyper3D Rodin - Gen-2.5 API specification ↗
The source for the Gen-2.5 parameters: one to five images with the first supplying the material, text generation from a prompt of up to 1,024 characters with no image, Raw as a triangle mesh and Quad as a quad mesh, and HighPack raising textures from 2K to 4K rather than raising polygon count. In this round the page was readable only through its search index because a direct fetch failed, so these details carry that evidence level and apply to the Gen-2.5 API rather than to every web or model input.

Hyper3D Rodin - site and FAQ ↗
Historical registered scope from 2026-09-23; the entire statement was not re-read on 2026-10-15: Export formats are STL, FBX, OBJ, GLB, GLTF and USDZ, with single-image, optional multi-image and text input; the format list does not establish dimensional accuracy, printability or game performance. Official body read on 2026-10-15, limited to this scope: The homepage namesSTL, FBX, OBJ, GLB, GLTF andUSDZ export formats and a separate programmatic Rodin API entry. It does not verify five-asset consumption/retry costs or attach Studio rights to API requests. The homepage lists STL, FBX, OBJ, GLB, GLTF and USDZ exports. The list does not verify a delivered asset’s printability, game performance or geometry quality.

Hyper3D Rodin - pricing ↗
Read on 2 November 2026: Creator is shown at $30 monthly or $288 yearly; the captured pricing page does not label the dollar currency or establish checkout eligibility. Historical scope read on 23 September 2026, not reread in full on 2 November: Free $0 with credits at $1.5 each, free preview before confirmation, exports limited to legacy models and 10 private assets; Creator $30 a month or $288 a year, equivalent to $24 a month, adding unlimited exports, private assets, Smart Low-Poly, HD and custom textures and normal baking with 20 geometry and 6 material redos; Business $120 a month or $1,152 a year, equivalent to $96, adding full API access and high-polygon quad with 50 and 15 redos. No fixed monthly credit figure could be verified in what we could read; output is estimated as about 60 or 416 models instead.

Hyper3D Rodin - API quick start ↗
Independently supports up to five input images and the interface family; the Gen-2.5 specification itself was readable only through its search index in this round, so its detail carries that evidence level.

Hyper3D - terms of service ↗
Read again on 2 November 2026 (first read 12 October 2026). The Rodin section allows using generated output subject to your rights in the input and to applicable law, without warranting that copyright subsists; section 4.2 states that a chosen plan cannot be cancelled or downgraded within its subscription period. The two-month lump-sum payment condition attributed in the earlier capture does not appear in the body read on 2 November 2026, so it is withdrawn rather than restated. The clause on prompts and output reserves Rodin the right to use them "to provide, maintain and improve our services, and conduct and support research", and the prohibited list stops the user from "using the Services to train, improve, enhance ... any AI models and services same, similar or competing with the Services"; neither names model training on your content as a use Rodin makes of it.

Hyper3D Rodin - privacy policy ↗
Read on 12 October 2026. Lists only broad purposes, among them "To build predictive models, which allow us to tailor the Services based on the data we have about how our users use our Services", and contains no clause saying prompts or outputs train its models. Retention is the concrete part: "The information you input, feedback you provide, likes, and dislikes, will be retained during the period before you withdraw, delete, or deactivate your account", after which the data is deleted or anonymised apart from legal, financial, audit or dispute obligations.
