Tencent Releases Hunyuan 3D 3.0 — Triple Precision AI Modeling, A Boon for 3D Printing Users

On September 16, 2025, at the Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Conference, Tencent Hunyuan officially unveiled its next-generation AI 3D model generation platform: Hunyuan 3D. The suite includes Hunyuan 3D 3.0, Hunyuan 3D AI, and Hunyuan 3D Studio, delivering cutting-edge 3D generation capabilities for creators and developers across multimedia, gaming, and 3D printing. For 3D printer enthusiasts, this marks a major breakthrough, enabling rapid model creation with unprecedented ease. Leading 3D printer manufacturers such as Bambu Lab and Creality have already integrated Hunyuan 3D into their platforms.

Hunyuan 3D 3.0: A Leap in Precision

At the core of the release is Hunyuan 3D 3.0, which pioneers the 3D-DiT hierarchical sculpting model. This innovation resolves the long-standing challenge of balancing overall structure with fine detail, boosting modeling accuracy threefold over previous generations.

· Geometric resolution: Up to 1536³, refining models with 3.6 billion 3D voxels.

· Detail rendering: Greatly enhanced realism and subtlety in textures and geometry.

Realistic Characters, Complex Geometry

· Human modeling: Solves the “abstract face” problem common in AI-generated 3D humans, achieving collectible figurine-level fidelity in facial features, body proportions, and gestures.

· Complex structures: Employs staged generation—first establishing a solid base frame, then sculpting details layer by layer—combined with advanced data processing for accurate reconstruction of hidden areas.

· Texture optimization: Ensures seamless alignment of textures with geometry, producing lifelike surface finishes.

Lowering Barriers: Free and Open to All

To democratize access, Tencent has fully integrated Hunyuan 3D 3.0 into its Hunyuan 3D AI creation engine, offering it free of charge. With simple operations, users can now transform ideas into high-quality 3D models, dramatically lowering the entry barrier for 3D content creation. Tencent Cloud has also launched Hunyuan 3D API services, enabling developers in gaming, film, e-commerce, and AR/VR to embed professional-grade 3D generation into workflows at low cost.

Hunyuan 3D Studio: A Professional AI Workbench

For advanced creators, Tencent introduced Hunyuan 3D Studio, a professional AI workstation now in invitation-only beta. It covers nearly the entire 3D production pipeline—from model generation and UV unwrapping to rigging and skinning—providing a one-stop solution that streamlines traditional workflows and raises both efficiency and quality.

Open Source Commitment

Over the past year, Tencent Hunyuan has accelerated development, releasing more than 30 new models and actively contributing to open-source communities. The Hunyuan 3D series has become one of the world’s most downloaded 3D open-source models on Hugging Face, surpassing 2.6 million downloads. Tencent has also released translation models (supporting 30+ languages), image and video generators, and multimodal tools. Looking ahead, Tencent plans to open-source Hunyuan 3D Omni, a model supporting multi-conditional controls, further driving innovation in both academia and industry.

By combining breakthrough precision, free accessibility, and professional-grade tools, Tencent Hunyuan 3D sets a new benchmark in AI-driven 3D content creation. With its broad integration across industries and open-source ethos, it is poised to ignite a new wave of 3D content innovation—reshaping workflows in 3D printing, gaming, film, and beyond, while fueling the next phase of the digital economy.
