Seed3D

Overview

Seed3D 2.0 is ByteDance's AI 3D model generator that converts a single image into a production-ready 3D asset with full PBR materials (albedo, normal, roughness, metallic) in under 30 seconds. In blind evaluations by 60 professional 3D modelers, it achieved 69–89% win rates against Hunyuan3D, Tripo 3.0, and Rodin Gen2. Exports GLB, FBX, OBJ, and USDZ with PBR maps compatible with Unity, Unreal, and Blender.

Best For

• Teams who need high-quality PBR-textured 3D props from concept art or reference photos
