CREATE 3D MODELS EFFORTLESSLY

🔗 Get Trellis 2 — Try It Free

Direct link: huggingface.co/spaces/JeffreyXiang/TRELLIS (No install required — runs entirely in your browser)

Quick start:

1. Open the link above
2. Upload any image and hit Generate
3. Review the preview, then click Download

How the Workflow Actually Works

The process is straightforward enough that anyone can run it on their first try:

1. Go to the Trellis 2 site and open the generation tool
2. Upload any image — a product photo, a concept sketch, a reference shot, anything works
3. Hit generate and let the AI process the input
4. Review the preview — Trellis 2 first renders a preview version so you can check quality before committing
5. Confirm and download — if the preview looks good, you confirm it and the final 3D file downloads instantly

That preview step is actually a smart design choice. You're not locked into a single output or forced to wait through a full render just to discover the result missed the mark. You get a checkpoint, make the call, and move forward.

What You Can Actually Do With the Output

The 3D files Trellis 2 generates are practical assets you can deploy across multiple use cases:

• Web design — embed 3D product visuals or interactive elements directly into websites without hiring a 3D artist
• Game assets — generate base meshes or environmental objects and bring them into Unity, Unreal, or any other game engine for further refinement
• Product mockups — turn a flat product photo into a rotatable 3D model for presentations, pitch decks, or e-commerce listings
• 3D marketplaces — generate, clean up, and sell models on platforms like CGTrader, TurboSquid, or Sketchfab as a legitimate income stream

Why Open Source Matters Here

A lot of AI tools in this space are closed, cloud-hosted products where you're essentially renting access. The moment the company changes pricing, kills the free tier, or shuts down, your workflow disappears with it.

Open source changes the dynamic. With Trellis 2:

• No subscription fees eating into your margins if you're using this commercially
• No vendor lock-in — the model can be self-hosted or integrated into your own pipeline
• Community development — other developers can build on top of it, create wrappers, improve it, and release tools that extend what's possible
• Transparency — you can actually look at what's happening under the hood, which matters if you're building anything serious around it

Who Should Pay Attention to This

Freelance designers and developers — If you're building client sites or digital products, having a fast path to 3D assets is a genuine competitive advantage. You can offer deliverables your competitors can't match at the same speed or price point.

Content creators and marketers — 3D visuals stop the scroll. Product mockups in 3D, rotating hero images, interactive web elements — these stand out. Trellis 2 makes producing them fast enough to be practical.

Game developers and indie studios — Rapid asset generation for prototyping is enormous. You don't need to hand-model every object in your early builds. Generate, import, iterate.

Side hustlers and digital product sellers — The 3D marketplace angle is real. If you can consistently produce quality assets and understand what buyers on those platforms are looking for, this tool gives you a production advantage.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

• Input quality matters — Cleaner, well-lit images with a clear subject will produce significantly better results than cluttered or low-resolution photos
• Output may need cleanup — For commercial or game-ready use, you'll likely want to do some mesh cleanup or UV adjustment in a tool like Blender before the asset is truly production-ready
• It's AI-generated — Complex organic shapes or highly detailed objects may require multiple attempts to get right
• Open source means self-serve — There's no customer support hotline. You're working with documentation, community forums, and your own troubleshooting skills
