# Generate 3D Models from Chat with OpenClaw Describe what you want in natural language and get a production-ready 3D model delivered to your workspace. Text-to-3D, image-to-3D, and direct STL export for 3D printing. All from a chat message. [Install Skill](https://clawhub.ai/whale-professor/3daistudio-integration) [Get API Key](/content/Platform/API/index.html) Free & open source skill From 15 credits/model No GPU required [View full API documentation](/content/Platform/API/Documentation/index.html) ## What is OpenClaw? OpenClaw is a self-hosted, open-source gateway that connects your messaging apps to AI coding agents. It turns WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, or any browser into a direct interface to powerful AI tools. Skills are modular packages that extend what the agent can do. The **3D AI Studio skill** teaches the agent how to generate 3D models using our API - so you can create production-ready 3D assets just by chatting. - Self-hosted - your data stays on your machine - Works from any messaging app or browser - 3,200+ community skills on ClawHub - MIT licensed, free and open source - No GPU or powerful hardware required ### How to generate 3D models with OpenClaw From installation to your first 3D model in four steps 01 ### Install OpenClaw Install OpenClaw via npm and run the setup wizard. Takes about 5 minutes on any machine. 02 ### Add the 3D AI Studio Skill Install the community skill from ClawHub and set your API key. One command, done. 03 ### Chat to Generate Open Telegram, Discord, or the web UI. Describe what you want in plain English. 04 ### Download & Use The agent generates, polls, and saves your GLB file. Convert to STL, FBX, or OBJ as needed. ## See it in action A real conversation with OpenClaw generating a 3D model from a chat message #### OpenClaw Chat Generate a 3D model of a geometric vase with low-poly facets, clean hard-surface topology, good for 3D printing Generating with **Hunyuan Pro 3.1** in **Geometry** mode... Model: Hunyuan Pro | Type: Geometry | Est. credits: 60 Submitting generation request... Status: FINISHED (100%) Done! Generated in ~2 minutes. geometric_vase.glb - 8.6 MB geometric_vase.stl - 23.8 MB (print-ready) ## Generated via OpenClaw + 3D AI Studio Real outputs from text and image prompts sent through chat. No post-processing. ### Text to 3D - just describe what you want Type a description in any connected chat. The agent picks the right model, generates, and delivers your 3D file. ### Character Generation Make a 3D model of a cute yellow electric mouse character with a zigzag lightning bolt tail. Round body, big oval eyes, rosy cheek patches, standing in A-pose. Manifold mesh for 3D printing, ~100mm tall with a flat base. Done! pikachu.glb - 26.6 MB saved to workspace Converted to STL and loaded in your slicer: ### Object Generation Generate a medieval treasure chest with gold coins, a padlock, vines and moss. Using **Hunyuan Pro 3.1 + PBR**... Done! Generated in ~2 minutes. treasure_chest.glb - 14.2 MB saved to workspace ## Image to 3D - upload a photo, get a model Send an image to the chat and the agent converts it to a 3D model using TRELLIS.2 or Hunyuan. ### Multiple ways to generate 3D models The agent picks the best approach based on what you provide ### From chat message to 3D print The complete pipeline: describe an object, generate it, convert to STL, and slice for printing. All from a chat window. #### OpenClaw Chat Convert the pikachu GLB to STL for printing ### Three AI models, one skill The 3D AI Studio skill gives the agent access to three different 3D generation models. It picks the best one for your request, or you can choose. ### Credit costs per generation Pay-as-you-go with credits. No subscriptions. Failed generations are automatically refunded. | Use Case | Model | Credits | Speed | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quick concept from image | TRELLIS.2 (geo only) | 15-25 | 25s-2min | | Textured model from photo | TRELLIS.2 + textures | 25-55 | 1-4min | | Text to 3D (fast) | Hunyuan Rapid | 35 | 1-2min | | Text to 3D + PBR | Hunyuan Rapid + PBR | 55 | 1-2min | | Highest quality | Hunyuan Pro | 60 | 3-6min | | Game-ready PBR asset | Hunyuan Pro + PBR | 80 | 3-6min | | Max detail + multi-view | Hunyuan Pro (full) | 100 | 3-6min | ## Setup guide Get from zero to generating 3D models in about 10 minutes 1. ### Install OpenClaw Requires Node.js 22 LTS or 24. 2. ### Install the 3D AI Studio skill Install with `clawhub install whale-professor/3daistudio-integration` 3. ### Set your API key Export your API key. 4. ### Start generating Open the gateway and chat via Telegram/Discord. ## About the 3D AI Studio skill A community-built OpenClaw skill that wraps the full 3D AI Studio API. ### Frequently asked questions #### What is OpenClaw?
