Tencent has launched Hunyuan3D 2.0, an artificial intelligence system that generates detailed 3D models from single images or text descriptions. As Michael Nuñez reports, the system can complete tasks in seconds that typically take artists days or weeks. The technology combines two main components: Hunyuan3D-DiT for basic shapes and Hunyuan3D-Paint for surface details. According to Tencent’s research team, the system achieves higher accuracy than existing solutions, with a CLIP score of 0.809. The standard version creates models in 25 seconds, while a faster variant needs only 10 seconds. Tencent has made the technology available as open-source software on Hugging Face and GitHub, allowing developers worldwide to integrate it into their workflows. The system aims to assist rather than replace human artists by automating technical aspects of 3D modeling.
