Who it's for

What do you make?

Game devs

I make games

You need a lot of art, fast, that drops into your engine and that you're allowed to ship.

See what you get ↓ 3D artists

I make 3D art

You want to skip the blank canvas and get a first draft you can finish your way.

▶For game devs

More game. Less art backlog.

Solo or small team, the art is usually what stalls the build. Describe a character, keep coding, come back to it moving.

01

A moving character in one sitting

Prompt, image, 3D model, skeleton, animation. About 15 minutes for one character on an M-series MacBook, while you work on something else.

02

Drops straight into your engine

One GLB file with textures, skeleton and animation baked in. Open it in Godot, Unity, Unreal or three.js. No export dance.

Triangles
5k–100kyou pick: 5k, 15k, 40k (our game-ready default) or 100k
Textures
2Kcolour, normal and material maps, all 2048 px
Skeleton
34–52 boneshumanoid, fingers when the hands have them
Props
LOD0–2three detail levels, game-size scale
03

A whole level's props in one go

Ask for a 3×3 sheet of props. AssetFurnace cuts it apart and builds all nine in 3D, sized for a game with lighter versions for distance. A tavern or scrapyard in one run.

04

Ship it without licence surprises

Every file carries a record of each model that touched it, and its licence. You know before you ship, not after a takedown.

05

Your coding agent makes the art too

Connect Claude Code, Codex or any MCP client and it makes assets, checks them and tries another setting while you both build the game.

How agents use it →

✎For 3D artists

Skip the blank canvas. Keep the craft.

A first draft in minutes, not a replacement for you. Use it for blockouts, previz, background pieces, or a base to sculpt over.

01

Concept to 3D draft in minutes

Drag the line. Left is the picture, right is the 3D model built from it, same angle. Bring your own concept art, or describe one.

3D model render Generated image Image3D model
02

See exactly what you're getting

Drag to see the real mesh. This one is at our 40k game-ready setting, and it is triangles, not clean quads. Fine for games and previz; for hero work, plan to retopologise (rebuild a clean mesh over it).

Wireframe of the 3D model Textured 3D model TexturedWireframe
03

Test ten ideas before you commit to one

Turn a rough idea into something you can spin around in minutes. Kill the weak ones early, spend your hours on the one that works.

04

Use only the steps you need

Start at any step with a file you already have. Rig and animate your own sculpt, or stop at the textured mesh and take it into Blender.

05

Opens cleanly in Blender

Standard GLB: mesh, UV-mapped textures (the image wrapped onto the model) and, if you want it, a skeleton. No plugin needed.

Licences

Can I sell what I make? Mostly yes. Every file tells you.

Each step uses an open model with its own licence. The viewer shows it before you run anything, and the record travels with the file.

How it works

Six steps, one window

Run the whole chain, or start at any step with a file you already have. The viewer remembers your runs, so the next step is a dropdown, not an upload.

  1. 01

    Prompt

    Describe it. For characters, a T-pose with empty hands rigs best.

  2. 02

    Image

    A local image model draws it, or bring your own art.

  3. 03

    3D

    Pixal3D, TRELLIS.2 or Hunyuan3D.

  4. 04

    Finish

    Clean mesh, fixed materials, game-friendly size.

  5. 05

    Rig

    Skeleton and skin weights in one click.

  6. 06

    Animate

    Walk, run, punch, kick, dance and more.

Bring your own agent

Your agent drives it. Your machine does the work.

Connect your agent over MCP with one line. Ask for "a Pixar-style gator warrior" and it runs every step, shows you the result and opens it in the studio. Every knob the studio has, your agent has too.

Or let it install everything: ask it to "install AssetFurnace from assetfurnace.com and connect its MCP". Agents: start at assetfurnace.com/llms.txt.

Claude CodeCodexKimiCursorAny MCP client
  • Use the AI you already have. Claude Code, Codex, a local model, or none at all.
  • Local by default. Run on your own machine and prompts, images and models stay on it.
  • Licences travel with the file. Each output records every model that touched it.
Questions

Before you clone

Is it free?

Free to run on your own machine: no account, no credits, no API keys.

What do I need?

An Apple Silicon Mac (32 GB memory recommended) or a Linux PC with an NVIDIA card (24 GB tested). Each 3D engine downloads 8–20 GB of model files once, and only after you say yes.

What doesn't it do well yet?

It rigs humanoids only; four-legged creatures are on the roadmap. Fast kicks look soft, extreme poses can bend like rubber, and meshes are triangles, not clean quads.

What comes out?

GLB files with textures, a skeleton and animation. They open in Blender, Godot, Unity and three.js.

Can my AI agent use it?

Yes. AssetFurnace has an MCP server, so Claude Code, Codex, Kimi and other MCP clients can make, check and tweak assets on your machine. One line connects it: claude mcp add assetfurnace -- ~/image-to-3dlab/lab mcp. Every agent's setup.
