Hunyuan3D 2.1
Tencent's production-ready open-source text/image-to-3D asset generator.
About
Released June 13, 2025, Hunyuan3D 2.1 is Tencent Hunyuan's first production-ready 3D asset generation model, fully open-sourced with inference code and checkpoints on GitHub and Hugging Face. It converts text or images into game-ready 3D meshes with PBR textures in about 10 seconds, targeting real production pipelines rather than demos. It follows Hunyuan3D 2.0 (January 2025) and slots into a fast-moving Tencent 3D line that later added HunyuanWorld-1.0 for immersive world generation.\n\nLimitations: quality varies with input complexity — clean single-object images work best, cluttered scenes degrade. Running locally needs 12GB+ VRAM, and outputs are static meshes (no rigging or animation). The open license is Tencent's custom community license, not a standard OSI license, so commercial terms deserve a read.
