Tripo
Image/text-to-3D generator with rigging, animation and PBR texturing, from the team behind the open TripoSR model.
+ Among the cleanest geometry of the hosted generators, with built-in auto-rig and animation presets.
− Fine detail and texture quality still trail hand-made assets and credits run out quickly.

All 15 alternatives →+ Fast, with auto-rigging, retexturing and plugins for Blender, Unity and Unreal.
− Topology is messy and needs cleanup before production use.
+ The best open-weight 3D generator, close to hosted tools and runnable on a single consumer GPU.
− Local setup is heavy and texture generation needs more VRAM than shape generation.
+ Generated objects land directly in a web-ready interactive 3D editor you can embed in sites.
− AI generation is limited and the tool is really a 3D web design editor first.
+ Good at reconstructing a specific object faithfully from a photo, with retopology built in.
− Interface is busier than Meshy's and free credits are tight.
+ Free and fast for simple stylized objects.
− Low-poly, low-detail outputs and Luma's focus has shifted to its video products.
