Overview

AssetFurnace is a browser studio that turns a sentence or picture into a textured 3D model, cleans it up for games, rigs it with SkinTokens and applies one of 21 animation presets, exporting GLB. It wraps Pixal3D, TRELLIS.2, Hunyuan3D and Stable Fast 3D on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA or AMD (ROCm), and ships an MCP server for agents. Source pictures come from FLUX.2 klein 4B or Qwen-Image run locally.

Who it is for: Game developers wanting local text/image-to-rigged-3D asset generation

Strengths

  • Full local pipeline: image, 3D model, rig, animation and GLB export in one studio
  • Pixel Match restores source-image pixels on low-poly models, keeping text and logos sharp
  • Runs on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA and AMD ROCm (Pixal3D only on AMD)
  • Built-in MCP server lets Claude Code, Codex and other agents drive it

Weaknesses

  • Weights run roughly 8 to 20 GB per backend and are downloaded separately
  • TRELLIS.2 and Hunyuan3D-2.1 CUDA routes are Linux-only and untested on real hardware
  • Windows has limited testing; MCP agent use is untested there
  • Several backend weights carry non-OSI licences (Tencent, Stability, DINOv3)

What it needs

  • GPU required
  • Needs Python 3.11, uv, Xcode (Metal builds on Mac), CUDA toolkit (some NVIDIA builds), ROCm HIP SDK (AMD), Hugging Face access for gated weights
  • Models: Pixal3D, TRELLIS.2, Hunyuan3D-2.1, Hunyuan3D-MLX, Stable Fast 3D

What changed

From the release notes. No flag means the note does not say so, not that the upgrade is safe.
