// how it works

How it works

  1. Give it a prompt

    Describe the object or scene β€” some tools also accept a photo.

  2. Generate the model

    The AI builds geometry, and often textures or materials too.

  3. Inspect and refine

    Rotate, fix proportions, and polish the result before export.

  4. Export the asset

    Save as GLB, OBJ, or another standard format for your pipeline.

// features

Why people love it

Text-to-3D

Turns written descriptions into 3D geometry.

Image-to-3D

Reconstructs models from one or more photos where supported.

Textured output

Generates materials and textures, not just bare meshes.

Standard exports

Saves to GLB, OBJ, and other formats your tools accept.

Editable results

Outputs you can refine instead of black-box meshes.

Local pipelines

Many workflows run on your own GPU with open models.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Step 1 β€” Clone the repo

    Download the source and move into the project folder.

    git clone https://github.com/3dlg-hcvc/multi3drefer.git
    cd multi3drefer
  2. Step 2 β€” Check the README

    Every project documents its own setup; start with install requirements.

    cat README.md | head -60
  3. Step 3 β€” Run it

    Follow the project’s launch command β€” Docker, pip, npm, or a binary release.

Questions, answered

What can I do with the models?

Use them in games, renders, AR, or 3D printing β€” exports are standard formats.

What license is it under?

MIT licensed β€” you can use it commercially with attribution.

Do I need a GPU?

Yes for local generation β€” 3D models are heavy. Cloud options exist for lighter machines.

How good is the quality?

Good for prototyping, concepting, and stylized work; hero assets still need artist polish.

How active is development?

Last pushed 2026-03-26 with 4 forks. Check recent commits for momentum.
