Text to 3D is getting insanely good — just tried Hunyuan3D v3

I've been using AI 3D generation tools for about a year now and the progress is wild. I just tested the Hunyuan3D v3 model on the text-to-3D tool with some prompts and the results are actually usable for production work.

I prompted "vintage wooden desk with three drawers, brass handles, slightly worn edges" and got back a model with correct proportions, actual drawer geometry (not just painted on), and a wood grain texture that looks realistic.

Six months ago the same prompt would have given me a vaguely desk-shaped blob. Now I'm starting to use these as base meshes and just touching them up in Blender instead of modeling from scratch.

Anyone else using text-to-3D in their actual production pipeline? How are you handling the cleanup?

I use it for concept art and quick mockups mostly. For character work the anatomy is still not reliable enough, but for props and environment objects it's a huge timesaver.

My workflow is: generate with text-to-3D → import into ZBrush → clean up the mesh → retopologize → texture in Substance. Even with the cleanup it saves me 2-3 hours per prop compared to modeling from zero.

The Meshy v6 model is also worth trying. I find it produces slightly higher poly models but the topology is cleaner and easier to edit in Blender. For hard surface stuff like electronics and furniture, I'd pick Meshy. For organic stuff, Hunyuan3D tends to handle shapes better.

Good to know, I hadn't tried Meshy v6 for text-to-3D yet. I'll compare them side by side this weekend. Do you know if Meshy outputs with PBR materials or just a single diffuse texture?

Meshy v6 does output PBR materials — baseColor, metallic-roughness, and normal maps. It's significantly better for realistic rendering than the single-texture models.

For e-commerce product mockups it's a game changer. I had a client who needed 3D views of 20 furniture pieces and didn't have photos of all of them yet. I used text-to-3D to generate placeholder models from their product descriptions and then replaced them with image-to-3D versions once the photos came in. Saved the project timeline completely.
