From image to 3D. Inside Blender.

Turn reference images into 3D starting points, then texture,refine, rig and export your models through one integratedBlender toolkit.

GenMesh brings image-based reconstructionand practical mesh tools into your creative workflow.Built for blockouts, base meshes, background propsand early production assets.

One connected workflow.

• Generate from images. Reconstruct geometry from a single reference or supported multi-view images using separately installed Hunyuan3D engines.
• Texture your models. Project your own reference images or prepare texture images with a compatible, image-capable MCP assistant.
• Refine your mesh. Access polygon reduction, quad remeshing and Wrap tools to continue developing your model.
• Prepare a rig. Use human and animal rigging tools, then review joint placement and deformation.
• Export your work. Export selected models as GLB, FBX, OBJ or STL.
• Preserve your starting point. Use working copies and the history tools to revisit preserved results.

Local tools. Creative freedom.

Run supported reconstruction engines on your own computerafter downloading and installing their dependencies.Local inference requires no API key or per-generation credits.Processing time depends on your hardware and settings.

MCP assistants are optional.Connect a compatible assistant for additional modelingand image workflows. Image preparation and assistant-basedtexture features require image tools available in theconnected session.

Local mesh tools work independently of an assistant.Optional assistants and cloud services may requireseparate accounts, subscriptions or usage fees.

Made for your next creative step.

Explore a shape, develop a base mesh or prepare a propfor further work. Keep control of the final resultwith Blender's modeling tools and your own artistic judgment.

Generate a starting point. Refine it your way.

Requirements and compatibility

• Current documented target: Blender 5.2 on Windows x64.
• Local service: Node.js 22 or newer; the assisted installer can download it if needed.
• Reconstruction: requires a separately installed engine, model weights and dependencies. These are not included in the addon ZIP.
• Storage: reserve at least 15 GB of free space for the documented engine installation.
• Processing: CPU execution is supported; CUDA acceleration requires compatible NVIDIA hardware.
• macOS and Linux are not currently advertised as fully validated platforms.

Before you buy

• Generated geometry, projected textures and automatic rigs require review and may need manual cleanup.
• A single reference cannot describe every surface; unseen areas are estimated during reconstruction.
• Quad remeshing does not guarantee animation-ready facial or anatomical edge loops.
• GenMesh is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. Third-party engines, dependencies and model weights retain their own licenses.
• The project's current documentation identifies territorial restrictions for Hunyuan3D-2mini, including the European Union, United Kingdom and South Korea. Check the engine's applicable license before use.
• You are responsible for the rights to your reference images and for checking the applicable terms for your intended use.
