Description
🖼️ Tool Name:
SHAPEN
✏️ What does this tool offer in 2026?
Text-to-3D Generation: Enter a descriptive prompt (e.g., "A futuristic cyberpunk hoverbike, high detail, matte black") and the AI builds the geometry, textures, and lighting from scratch.
Image-to-3D Conversion: Upload a single photo or multiple angles of an object. SHAPEN reconstructs it into a 3D mesh that can be used in rendering or animation software.
Structural Refinement: A unique feature that allows you to upload an existing image and "evolve" it into new variations while the AI ensures the underlying 3D structure remains consistent.
Multi-View Precision: For high-accuracy needs, you can provide photos from different angles (front, side, 3/4) to help the AI generate a perfect 360-degree model.
Production-Ready Exports: Models can be downloaded in standard industry formats like GLB (for web/AR), STL (for 3D printing), and OBJ/FBX (for Blender, Unity, and Unreal Engine).
Diverse Asset Library: Optimized for creating everything from characters and animals to architectural elements, vehicles, and weapons.
"Magic Refine" Editor: A built-in web tool to tweak the AI's output, adjusting things like polygon count (for low-poly games) or texture resolution.
⭐️ What does it offer? (User Experience)
"Bridging the Gap": Rated 4.7/5 for its ability to help non-technical designers create 3D content without learning complex software like Maya or ZBrush.
Speed & Consistency: Praised by game developers for slashing the time it takes to create "background assets" or "props" from hours to seconds.
🤖 Automation Features:
Automatic UV Unwrapping: The AI automatically handles the complex task of "unwrapping" 3D models so that textures fit perfectly—a task that usually takes human artists significant time.
💵 Pricing (January 2026 Status)
SHAPEN uses a credit-based system, allowing for flexible usage depending on project needs.
🎁 Is the free version a trial or completely free?
It is Freemium. You can use the basic 3D generation tools for free indefinitely with a daily credit limit. However, features like high-resolution exports, commercial usage rights, and removing watermarks typically require a paid subscription.
