Generate 3D models with
the Tripo API
Access the Tripo lineup through a simple REST API - Tripo P1 for game-ready assets and the Tripo 3.1 series for general-purpose generation. Text-to-3D, image-to-3D, and multi-view with GLB output.
Two models, one API
Choose P1 for game-ready output or 3.1 for general-purpose generation. Both support text-to-3D, image-to-3D, and multi-view input.
Tripo P1
The Smart Mesh model. Game-optimized polygon budgets, clean topology, and fully textured output. Generations in 60-90 seconds.
POST /v1/3d-models/tripo/image-to-3d/p1/
Tripo 3.1
The general-purpose workhorse. PBR textures, quad remeshing, and smart low-poly options for product visualization, printing, and everyday assets.
POST /v1/3d-models/tripo/image-to-3d/3.1/
Tripo 3.0 stays available on its existing endpoint (/v1/3d-models/tripo/image-to-3d/).
What the Tripo API can do
The full Tripo pipeline, available as simple API calls.
Text to 3D
Describe any object in natural language and get a fully textured 3D model back. Available on every Tripo model version.
Image to 3D
Upload a reference photo or concept art and generate a matching 3D model. Works with product photos, characters, and props.
Multi-View Input
Provide multiple reference angles for precise reconstruction. A front view is required; additional views improve accuracy.
Texture & Retexture
The texture-model endpoint applies new AI textures to any Tripo-generated or uploaded mesh, with optional PBR maps.
Mesh Segmentation
Split generated models into logical parts with the mesh-segmentation endpoint - handy for rigging and printing workflows.
Format Conversion
Convert GLB output to OBJ, FBX, STL, or PLY with the convert-model endpoint. No separate tooling required.
Generate a 3D model in one API call
Submit a request, get a task ID, poll for results. Standard REST pattern.
