Creating 3D models fast with AI without breaking the bank 💸

How you can use Artificial Studio’s AI models as an alternative to 3D artist, saving money and time.

If you have 3D design knowledge but don’t know where to start or don’t have enough time, hiring a professional 3D artist might be a costly solution for you (not to mention the time it takes). This article will show you how you can use Artificial Studio’s AI models as an alternative to save time and money without sacrificing quality.

The Cost of a Professional 3D Designer

A 3D generalist can be the perfect choice for high-complexity projects, but their services come at a high price. Here’s a typical price:

- Creation of a basic 3D model: $500 — $2,000 USD 🫠

- Additional complexity (textures, animation): $3,000 USD or more.

- Average time: 2 to 4 weeks for basic models, and longer for more detailed work.

Although the results are exceptional, this might not be the best option for small projects.

Artificial Studio: An Affordable and Efficient Solution

With more than 40 AI models, Artificial Studio can create and improve videos, images, text, audio, and 3D models 👈 these ones are precisely the ones we need. It accelerates the process A LOT.

How Does It Work?

Artificial Studio currently offers two 3D AI models, and more are coming soon. InstantMesh and TripoSR create basic models in seconds.

Here’s how it works:

1. Upload an image of the object or character you need. Make sure the image is clear, and if the background is white or a solid color, even better.

2. Click on “Generate Object” button. Artificial Studio uses its AI to generate a basic 3D model.

3. Download the object (one model provides .obj files, and the other .glb). If needed, refine it in any 3D software (like Blender).

This gives you a physical base to work on and polish, saving you a ton of time and headaches.

Comparison: Hiring a 3D Designer vs. Artificial Studio

Designer: $500 — $2,000 USD 🫠

Artificial Studio: $0.06 — $0.10 USD (each object costs 4–7 credits, and you can buy 1,000 credits for just $15 USD)

Use Cases

Artificial Studio is perfect for:

- Personal or educational projects that require speed and low costs.

- Prototyping and rapid testing, where a basic model is enough (since it can be refined).

- Small agencies or companies looking to cut production costs.
