How does AI 3D model generation work?

Upload a photo — or several views, or describe the object in words — and the AI builds a textured 3D model, usually in a few minutes. View it in the browser and export it as GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ or STL for Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender and other tools.

What objects can I convert to 3D?

Almost anything you can photograph or describe: furniture, props, characters, creatures, gadgets, food, buildings and more.

Is Wandy3D free to use?

Yes. New accounts get free credits and free accounts get a credit top-up every month, so you can generate and view models in the browser at no cost, on every model version including Wandy 1.2. PRO plans add credits every month and unlock downloads in every format.

What 3D file formats does Wandy3D support?

GLB, GLB with Draco compression, FBX, OBJ (with MTL and textures), USDZ and STL. For 3D printing there are watertight STL and 3MF files, and for games a quad remesh with baked PBR textures as GLB or FBX.

How is Wandy3D different from other AI 3D generators?

Wandy3D covers the whole path from input to a usable file in one browser workspace: photo, multi-view or text input, edit by prompt, retexturing, quad remesh, print-ready export and a community to share models.

4. Good to know
How billing, errors and limits behave.
- Billing in every answer
  Paid calls answer with billing.cost_usd and billing.balance_usd, and the headers X-Wandy-Cost-USD / X-Wandy-Balance-USD.
- Errors
  402 insufficient_balance / monthly_limit_reached / key_limit_reached, 429 rate_limited / too_many_jobs. Every error is JSON with a code and a message.
- Automatic refunds
  A job that fails is refunded to your balance — you never pay for a model you did not get.
- Limits
  60 requests per minute per key and 5 jobs at once per account. Monthly caps on the Limits page.
