Sloyd review: AI 3D generator for text and images with rigging, texturing, and 3D print tools. Free plan; paid plans from $12.50/mo billed yearly.

Sloyd is a web-based AI creation platform that generates 3D models from text prompts or images. Its site promises unlimited generation on paid plans, plus controls for refining results so users do not need heavy manual 3D work. It began as internal tools built by a small team of game developers.
Over time it has grown beyond model generation. It now includes image creation and editing, rigging and animation, video, skyboxes, audio, 3D scenes, and sprite sheets. Sloyd says it was founded in Norway, operates across the US and Europe, and serves game development, 3D printing, animation, and architecture visualization.
Users start in the browser by typing a description or uploading a photo, sketch, or reference image. Sloyd offers three approaches: fully AI-generated models from prompts, image-to-3D conversion, and AI-guided parametric templates. Users can adjust and preview a prompt before credits are used, as one reviewer on the site notes.
Generated models can be refined with topology control, style presets, retexturing, and part splitting, then rigged and animated. Results export in formats such as GLB, OBJ, and FBX, or go to Unity, Unreal, and Blender through plugins. Developers can call the same generation through an API with a job status endpoint.
The core tools are text to 3D and image to 3D, with topology control for polygon targets and quad meshes, style presets, and custom art styles trained from references. AI rigging fits a skeleton automatically, and animations come from presets or text prompts. Retexturing and 4K texture editing change an existing model's look.
Sloyd also generates 360-degree skyboxes, pixel-art sprite sheets, sound effects, voice-over, and MP4 video up to 2K. A scene editor arranges models, sets cameras, and captures renders. For printing, a preset keeps meshes watertight, fits a base, reports non-manifold edges, and maps colors to filament spots.
Sloyd is a web-based AI creation platform that generates 3D models from text prompts or images. It also offers rigging, animation, texturing, skyboxes, image tools, sprite sheets, audio, and video. It is used for game development, 3D printing, animation, and visualization.
Sloyd has a free Guest plan, Sloyd Plus at $15 per month ($12.50 per month billed yearly), and Sloyd Pro at $50 per month ($41.67 per month billed yearly). Yearly billing is $150 for Plus and $500 for Pro. The API runs on separate prepaid credits.
Yes. The Guest plan is free, needs no credit card, and includes one AI 3D generation per day, unlimited in-browser template customization, community model downloads, and GLB and OBJ export. It carries a personal-use license.
Paid plans offer unlimited generations for core tools such as text and image to 3D, rigging, animation, and skyboxes. Sloyd notes that fair-use limits, queue priority, and plan-specific capacity still apply. Some advanced features draw on a monthly credit pool.
Yes on paid plans. Plus and Pro include a commercial license, so you can use what you generate in commercial games, products, and content without royalties. Redistribution and marketplace reselling are allowed only on Pro.
Sloyd offers plugins for Unity, Unreal, and Blender. It exports GLB, OBJ, and FBX, which work with Godot, Roblox Studio, and many 3D tools. Product models can be published to Shopify product media or Amazon 3D.
Sloyd includes a 3D Print preset that keeps meshes watertight, fits a stable base, and reports holes and non-manifold edges. It exports STL or OBJ and can map colors to filament spots for multicolor slicers.
Yes. The Sloyd 3D Generation API creates models from text, a single image, or multiple images, with control over polycount, topology, and texture resolution. It requires no web app subscription and runs on prepaid credits billed separately.
