What Tripo models are available via the API?

Three model families: v3.0 (stable), v3.1 (improved quality), and P1 (premium, game-ready). All support text-to-3D, image-to-3D, and multiview-to-3D generation modes.

How do I authenticate with the Tripo API?

Include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. You can generate API keys from the 3D AI Studio developer dashboard.

How much does the Tripo API cost?

v3.0/v3.1 start at 20 credits with add-ons for texture quality, quad remeshing, and more. P1 starts at 60 (text) or 80 (image/multiview). Texturing costs 20-50 credits, conversion 10-30 credits, and mesh segmentation 80 credits.

What's the difference between v3.0/v3.1 and P1?

v3.0/v3.1 supports up to 500K polygons with smart low-poly, quad remeshing, and parts generation. P1 is game-optimized with native 3D diffusion, 48-20K faces, model seeds, and orientation control.

What output format does the Tripo API return?

All generation endpoints return GLB with optional PBR textures. Use the convert endpoint for GLTF, USDZ, FBX, OBJ, STL, and 3MF output formats.

Is the Tripo API synchronous or asynchronous?

The API is asynchronous. Submit a generation request to receive a task_id, then poll the status endpoint until the task is FINISHED. Results include download URLs for the generated model and thumbnail.

What about texturing and remeshing?

Separate endpoints are available for re-texturing existing models (text, image, or style prompts), format conversion with quad remeshing, and mesh segmentation into distinct parts.

What are the rate limits?

Standard API keys support concurrent requests with fair-use rate limiting. For higher throughput, dedicated infrastructure, or enterprise-grade SLAs, contact us for custom plans.

What Tripo can do

Full 3D pipeline from generation to texturing, conversion, and segmentation — all via API.

Text to 3D

Describe any object in natural language and receive a fully textured 3D model. Supported on v3.0, v3.1, and P1.

Image to 3D

Upload a reference photo or concept art. Tripo reconstructs matching 3D geometry with textures and materials.

Multiview to 3D

Provide images from multiple angles for precise 3D reconstruction. Consistent geometry from all supported model versions.

AI Texturing

Re-texture existing 3D models with text prompts, reference images, or style presets. PBR material generation included.

Format Conversion

Convert GLB output to GLTF, USDZ, FBX, OBJ, STL, or 3MF. Optional quad remeshing during conversion.

Mesh Segmentation

Automatically segment generated models into distinct semantic parts for game engines and animation pipelines.

Generated with the Tripo API

Real API outputs. Text and image input supported.

PBR on - metallic, normal, roughness maps applied PBR off - albedo/base color only

Text to 3D

Pass a text prompt via the API and receive a fully textured 3D model.

Albedo

“anime style female engineer in orange and gray power armor”

PBR

“retro sci-fi ray gun, turquoise red and gold, stylized 3D weapon”

Albedo

“stylized treasure chest with gold coins, padlock, vines and moss”

Image to 3D

Send an image URL or base64-encoded image and receive a matching 3D model with PBR materials.
