Sloyd
FreemiumGenerate game-ready 3D assets in seconds.
A browser-based AI 3D generation platform that combines text-to-3D, image-to-3D, and parametric template workflows to produce optimized, game-ready assets without traditional modeling expertise.
What is it
Sloyd is an AI-powered 3D asset creation platform founded in 2021 in Oslo, Norway, and backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Nvidia. It offers two complementary workflows inside one browser-based tool: Generative AI for text and image-based 3D creation, and Parametric AI for precision control through handcrafted templates with slider-based customization.
What it can do
Generate 3D models from text prompts or reference images, customize parametric templates with granular controls, apply AI-generated textures, auto-rig and animate models, and export in industry-standard formats including GLB, OBJ, FBX, and STL. The platform also includes AI image generation and editing for visual ideation before 3D conversion.
Who is it for
Indie game developers, 3D printing enthusiasts, architectural visualizers, product designers, VR and AR creators, educators, and hobbyists who need production-ready 3D assets quickly without mastering complex modeling software.
Key Features
Text-to-3D Generation – Prompt-Based Modeling
Describe any object in natural language and Sloyd generates a detailed 3D model in seconds. This workflow is ideal for fast ideation, exploring variations, and creating unique objects that can be refined further with texturing and editing tools.
Image-to-3D Conversion – Visual Reference to Mesh
Upload a photo, sketch, or reference image and Sloyd creates a textured 3D model based on its shape and proportions. This bridges the gap between 2D concepts and 3D production, enabling quick visual translation for concept artists and designers.
Parametric Template Editor – Precision Control
Start from hundreds of handcrafted parametric templates and customize geometry using simple sliders for height, width, taper, and detail. This hybrid approach combines AI assistance with predictable, production-ready results that maintain clean topology and proportions.
AI Texturing – Instant Material Application
Apply detailed, high-quality materials using simple text prompts or the click-to-texture system with hundreds of curated materials. Resolution ranges from 256 up to 4K depending on plan, with filters by realistic, semi-stylized, and stylized aesthetics.
Use Cases
Indie game asset production
Game developers populate levels with optimized props, weapons, furniture, and environmental assets in minutes. The parametric template editor ensures consistent art direction across large asset sets while generative AI handles unique concepts.
3D printing model creation
Hobbyists and professionals generate watertight, manifold models ready for printing at small sizes. The dedicated 3D printing preset produces solid meshes without UVs, exported directly as STL files for immediate slicing.
Rapid prototyping and concept validation
Product designers and architects create quick 3D mockups from sketches or text descriptions to validate forms and proportions before investing in detailed manual modeling. Image-to-3D accelerates this by converting reference photos directly.
Roblox avatar and UGC content
Creators build avatars and user-generated content ready to drop into Roblox, complete with rigs, separate parts, and custom styles. Sloyd's dedicated avatar workflow targets the specific technical requirements of the Roblox platform.
