Features
Everything you need to create 3D models
3D AI tools packaged into a clean, open source and lightweight desktop application.
Runs on Your GPU
All inference happens locally on your NVIDIA GPU. No cloud, no queues — just your hardware doing the work.
Your Images Stay Private
Nothing is uploaded. Ever. Unlike cloud services, Modly runs entirely offline — your photos never touch a server.
High Quality 3D Meshes
Generate detailed 3D meshes ready to use in Blender, Unity, Unreal, or any 3D software of your choice.
Collections & Workspace
Organize all your generations into collections. Your workspace keeps every model accessible and easy to manage.
Multiple Export Formats
Export your models as GLB, OBJ, STL or PLY — compatible with any 3D tool or game engine right out of the box.
Open Source & Hackable
Swap the model, modify the pipeline, integrate your own tools. No black boxes — full access to every layer of the stack.
How It Works
From photo to 3D model in three steps
No 3D expertise needed. Just pick an image, generate, and export.
Pick an Image
Drop any photo of an object into the app. Modly automatically removes the background using AI, no manual editing needed.
AI Generates the Mesh
Open source local AI reconstructs the 3D geometry with neural inference running on your GPU.
Export Your Model
Preview the result in the built-in 3D viewer, then export as GLB for Unity or Unreal Engine, STL for 3D printing, or OBJ for Blender.
AI Models
Best-in-class 3D generation models
Modly runs open source, state-of-the-art image-to-3D models locally on your GPU — no black boxes, no API keys.
Hunyuan3D 2 Mini
by Tencent
Fast and lightweight 3D generation model optimized for speed without sacrificing quality. Great for rapid iteration and prototyping.
Trellis
by Microsoft
Structured 3D Latent model by Microsoft Research. Produces highly detailed meshes with exceptional geometric consistency from a single image.
TripoSG
by Tripo AI
State-of-the-art single-image 3D reconstruction with sharp geometry and clean topology. Designed for production-ready assets.
Interactive Demo
Explore generated 3D models
Each model below was generated from a single reference image.
All models above were produced on the first generation attempt — no mesh editing or post-processing of any kind.
Who is it for?
Built for creators at every level
Whether you're shipping a game, sculpting a character, or just experimenting — Modly fits your workflow.
Indie Game Developers
Stop blocking your workflow on asset creation. Drop your concept art or a product photo and get a ready-to-use GLB or OBJ asset for Unity, Unreal Engine, or Godot. Build your prototype first, polish assets later.
3D Printing Enthusiasts
Turn any photo into a printable 3D model in minutes. Generate the mesh, export as STL, and open it straight in Cura, PrusaSlicer, or Bambu Studio — no 3D scanner, no subscription, no limits.
3D Artists & Sculptors
Use real-world photos as an instant base mesh. Instead of starting from a primitive, generate a rough 3D form and refine it in Blender or ZBrush — cutting hours off every project.
Product Designers
Digitize physical prototypes without a 3D scanner. Photograph your mockup, generate a 3D mesh, and drop it straight into your visualization scene.
VFX & Motion Designers
Generate background props and hero objects from reference photos without commissioning full 3D models. Great for quick fills, pre-vis, and motion design sequences.
AI & ML Researchers
Run and modify 3D reconstruction pipelines entirely locally. No cloud costs, no rate limits, full access to the model weights and generation parameters.
Why go local?
Stop paying for credits
Cloud 3D services charge per generation and upload your images. Modly gives you everything, for free, on your own machine.
