Rodin

Rodin generates a model and lets you inspect it before any credit is spent; credits are charged only when you confirm the result. On Free, confirmations are paid with direct credits at $1.5 each, which the terms say keep their validity until used. That makes Free a way to judge shape and texture on your own reference images before buying anything.

Free is not a production tier. It allows 10 private assets, publishes to the public gallery and offers basic image-to-3D and text-to-3D. The plan comparison marks unlimited export and any use, Smart Low-Poly, HD textures and redos beyond the basic level as paid features. Keep client or unreleased product images off Free unless you have set the asset to private.

The pricing page expresses paid plans as estimated model counts, not as a credit rate per web generation. Creator starts at about 60 models for $30 a month and scales up to about 480 models on the $240 tier, while Business starts at about 416 models for $120. The API page lists Gen-2 from 0.5 credit per generation, Gen-2.5 from 1 credit and HighPack textures at 1 extra credit.

Redos matter as much as the headline count. Creator allows Geometry x20 and Material x6 redos, Business Geometry x50 and Material x15. If your references are awkward, such as thin parts or transparent materials, budget for several redos per usable asset rather than assuming one generation per model.

The fulfillment policy is strict. All payments are final and non-refundable except as required by law, and a subscription cannot be cancelled or downgraded within its period. On a yearly plan that means the full year is committed once paid. Upgrades are allowed at any time, but they reset the billing period and cancel unused credits from the current plan.

Credits also behave differently by source. Credits given with a subscription expire at the end of the subscription period, while directly purchased credits stay valid until used. Start on Free with a few direct credits, and move to a monthly plan only once you know the redo rate your references need.

For Rodin output, the terms say Deemos will not limit your use, subject to the terms, applicable law and third-party conditions, and they make no promise that the output can be protected by copyright. Separately, the pricing page ties unlimited export and any use to paid plans and says paid plans include broader usage rights, so buy a plan before generating assets for a client.

You must hold the rights to every image or text you upload. The terms list prompts that include someone else’s creation or image among inappropriate inputs. Do not model a real person, a branded product or another artist’s figure from photos you do not own, and get written consent before scanning anyone’s likeness into a 3D asset.

Full API access starts on Business; Free and Creator do not include it. The API submits text-to-3D or image-to-3D tasks asynchronously, then you poll a status endpoint and download files with the task ID. Status, download and balance calls use no additional credits.

Two limits shape an integration. API results are retained for 7 days by default, so copy finished files to your own storage promptly; indefinite retention is an Enterprise feature. The Business card lists 120 requests per minute on the first three tiers and 240 on higher ones, while the API page says limits depend on the account or agreement, so confirm capacity before a batch launch.

The API page lists STL for 3D printing, GLB or GLTF for AR and VR, and OBJ for editing in other software, with FBX and USDZ available where the generation path supports them. Official add-ons bring models into Blender, Unity, Unreal, Godot, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D and Omniverse.

• Real-time engines: use Smart Low-Poly on Creator or above for lighter meshes, then check UVs and texture size.
• Offline rendering: High-Poly Quads and high-resolution textures are Business features.
• 3D printing: export STL and check that the mesh is closed and thick enough in your slicer before printing.

1. Record the account plan, direct-credit balance and the photo used.
2. Generate an image-to-3D preview with default settings.
3. Inspect the preview for missing handles, merged parts and texture seams before confirming.
4. Only if the preview is acceptable, confirm with direct credits and export STL.
5. Open the STL in a slicer and check for holes, non-manifold edges and wall thickness.

Accept a closed mesh whose proportions match the object and that slices without repair. Reject a preview with fused or missing parts, or an export that needs manual hole filling. Leave the observed result and credit use blank until the exercise is run.

For flat images rather than meshes, compare Midjourney and Leonardo AI. To add depth motion to an existing picture without building a 3D model, see Immersity AI. If you already have a 3D model and only need a rendered picture of it, ReRender AI works from a screenshot of the model rather than building a mesh.
