fal-3d
Generate 3D models (GLB/OBJ/PLY) from text descriptions or images using fal.ai.
Scripts
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
generate-3d.sh | Generate a 3D model from text or image |
Usage
Image to 3D
./scripts/generate-3d.sh --image-url "https://example.com/object.jpg" --model fal-ai/hunyuan3d-v3/image-to-3dText to 3D
./scripts/generate-3d.sh --prompt "A medieval sword with ornate handle" --model fal-ai/meshy/v6/text-to-3dArguments
| Argument | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
--image-url | URL of image to convert to 3D | Yes (or --prompt) |
--prompt / -p | Text description for text-to-3D | Yes (or --image-url) |
--model / -m | Model endpoint | No (default: fal-ai/hunyuan3d-v3/image-to-3d) |
--param | Extra param as key=value (repeatable) | No |
Finding Models
To discover the best and latest 3D generation models, use the search API:
# Search for image-to-3D models
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-generate/scripts/search-models.sh --category "image-to-3d"
# Search for text-to-3D models
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-generate/scripts/search-models.sh --query "text to 3d"Or use the search_models MCP tool with relevant keywords like "3d", "mesh", "image-to-3d".
Tips
- For best results from images: use a clear photo with a single object on a plain background
- Remove background first if needed (use fal-image-edit or fal-generate with birefnet)
- Simple, well-defined objects work best — complex scenes don't reconstruct well yet
- 3D generation takes 1-5 minutes — jobs use the queue API
