Is AssetFurnace free?

The code is Apache-2.0 and everything runs on your own machine with no credits. The model weights have their own licences (for example Tencent Community License for Hunyuan3D), which the Setup & Status page shows before downloading.

Which engines can use the output?

It exports GLB files for Godot, Unity, Unreal, Blender or three.js.

Yes. It ships an MCP server. Claude Code, Codex, Kimi, Claude Desktop and Cursor can make pictures, 3D models and animated characters through it. The agent can't download weights without your approval and can't delete or rename assets.

Install

Mac (Apple Silicon) or Linux

curl -fsSL https://assetfurnace.com/install.sh | bash

Installs the code and Python 3.11, then opens the studio. It downloads no model weights; you pick them in Setup & Status. Read install.sh before running it.

Connect Claude Code

claude mcp add assetfurnace -- ~/image-to-3dlab/lab mcp

Codex: codex mcp add assetfurnace -- ~/image-to-3dlab/lab mcp. Use your own folder if you installed elsewhere. Agent setup: Mac and Linux; Windows is not tested yet.

Commands are copied from the project's README. Check the repository before running anything on your machine.

What you get

Pixal3D, TRELLIS.2, Hunyuan3D and Stable Fast 3D behind one studio and one CLI
Auto-rig with SkinTokens and 21 animation presets (walk, run, jump, dance, kicks), exported as GLB
Text-to-image with Qwen-Image 2.1, so you can start from a sentence
Finish: compresses heavy models to game size; Pixel Match keeps text and logos sharp at ~5k faces
Prop sheets: one picture of a grid becomes nine separate props with three LODs each
A licence record for every generated file

Good fit

Indie devs who want rigged characters and props without cloud credits
Letting an agent generate, check and retry 3D assets locally

Not for

Shipping without reading model licences: several backends use the Tencent Community, Stability AI Community or DINOv3 licences
Non-humanoid rigging: the auto-rig targets humanoids

Overview

AssetFurnace, formerly Image to 3D Lab, runs the full asset pipeline on your own machine. It can make a picture from a sentence, build a 3D model from it, clean the model up for games, fit a skeleton and add a move. Nothing is uploaded, and every file records the licences behind it.

For agents, it is an MCP server. After claude mcp add, you can ask for "a Pixar-style gator warrior" and the agent will start the run, check on it, look at the result and try another setting. Pixal3D (MIT code and flow weights) is the backend the authors recommend. TRELLIS.2 and Hunyuan3D are also available but need large downloads, and Hunyuan3D-2.1 needs 24 GB+ NVIDIA cards.

MCP for Blender and Blender Character Rigging let you fix or re-rig a generated GLB in Blender.
Blender Game Optimization covers further clean-up before export.
img2threejs rebuilds an image as Three.js code instead of a mesh.

Requirements

An Apple Silicon Mac, or a Linux PC with NVIDIA or AMD (ROCm) GPU
Disk space for model weights (for example 8.4 GB for Pixal3D, ~15 GB for TRELLIS.2)
