Sloyd

Sloyd is an AI 3D model generator that creates game-ready models from text or images for indie developers, Roblox creators and 3D printing hobbyists. Its main difference from credit-heavy rivals is the pricing model: paid plans include unlimited standard generations, so you can iterate on a prop or character without watching a balance tick down.

What is Sloyd used for?

Sloyd covers the path from idea to an asset you can drop into an engine or slicer. You generate a model, adjust topology, and then rig, animate or prepare it for printing in the same app.

• Generating props, weapons, buildings and characters from text prompts or reference images
• Setting a polygon target or quad topology so assets fit mobile and low-poly games
• Training a custom art style so a set of assets looks like it belongs to one game
• Auto-rigging characters and applying AI animation or text to motion
• Checking printability and fitting a base before 3D printing a figure
• Sending models straight into Unity, Unreal, Blender, Godot, Maya or Roblox Studio through plugins

Who Sloyd is best for

Sloyd is a strong match for solo game developers, Roblox creators, game jam teams and makers who print miniatures or toys. People who generate many small variations benefit most from the unlimited plan. Studios that need photoreal hero assets with 4K PBR detail or strict art review may find more specialized tools a better fit, and anyone who only needs one model a month can stay on the free Guest plan.

Sloyd pricing

As of October 2026, the Guest plan is free with 1 AI 3D generation per day, GLB and OBJ exports and a personal-use license only. Sloyd Plus costs $15 per month, or $12.50 per month billed yearly ($150), and includes unlimited text to 3D, image to 3D, rigging, retexturing and skybox generation, plus 50 monthly credits for features such as multi-image to 3D, split to parts and ultra-detail generations. It also adds plugin access and commercial use. Sloyd Pro costs $50 per month, or $41.67 per month billed yearly, raises the credit pool to 350, adds more parallel generations, unlimited custom styles, reselling rights and a priority queue.

Limitations to keep in mind

• The free plan is personal use only, so commercial projects need a paid plan
• Credit-based extras like video to motion and multi-image input are capped per month
• Stylized and low-poly results are its strength, so photoreal scans may need another tool

Sloyd vs alternatives

Meshy offers a larger feature set for texturing and a polished web editor, and it is a good choice when texture quality is the priority. Tripo AI is quick for character drafts with rigging. Roblox Cube is the natural pick if you only build inside Roblox and want Roblox's own model. Tencent Hunyuan 3D suits users who want open models. Sloyd wins when you need lots of iterations at a predictable monthly price and want topology controls aimed at game engines.

Tips for getting started with Sloyd

Start with a style preset that matches your game, then train a custom style once you have five or six assets you like. Set the polygon target before generating rather than reducing it later. Use the free daily generation to test whether Sloyd's look fits your project before subscribing, and install the engine plugin early so exports keep their scale and orientation.
