Tripo: the full 3D workspace. Text, image or sketch in, a finished model out.
Tripo Studio. Generation, editing, retopology and rigging in one place.
H3.1 — Precision
Built to game character and industrial part standards. Geometry, topology and UVs go straight downstream.
P2.0 — Topology
Native quad meshes straight from generation — 500 to 50,000 triangles or 500 to 25,000 quads, ready for rigging and animation.
10+ DCC integrations
Including Blender, Unity, Unreal, Maya, 3ds Max, Godot, Cocos, ZBrush and ComfyUI. Nobody leaves their toolchain.
User story
Days of scanning and sculpting became one afternoon for a whole product line.
Harrison, Design Lead — Modelu
UK railway scale-model maker, generating parts from archive photographs
Two research tracks: 3D generation models in production, and a world model in development.

Best Paper
SIGGRAPH 2025
Project Eden. Genie, V-JEPA and Cosmos showed interactive worlds are possible — for one viewer, for a short while. Eden starts from there.
Physical behaviour
Current models learn what a scene looks like. Eden is built to learn how it behaves.
Persistent state
World state is kept between visits instead of re-rendered from nothing.
Preservation
Old buildings, dying crafts and extinct species, reconstructed as worlds that can be visited.

What we value.
01
Passion
People join because they could not find this problem anywhere else.
02
Long-termism
When Tripo started, nobody knew what 3D generation would turn into. Time did that.
03
Truth from facts
The algorithm team argued for two weeks over a mesh pipeline. The data settled it, not seniority.
04
Deliberate innovation
Usually we are the ones defining the problem, not copying an answer.
