What is Rodin AI?

Rodin is the AI 3D generator from Hyper3D (by Deemos). Kenerate AI's 3D Studio runs Rodin Gen-2.5 and Gen-2, which take text or up to 5 photos and let you set the mesh exactly, in quads or triangles, with PBR or shaded materials. It's the studio's only engine that returns STL directly, alongside GLB, FBX, OBJ and USDZ.

Detailed pieces for Rodin

Sculpted, detailed objects — where Rodin’s dense meshes and STL output shine.

Why Kenerate

What Rodin is best at

Rodin gives you the most control over the final mesh — and the most file formats.

  • A detailed white marble chess knight 3D model under studio lights

    Exact mesh budgets

    Pick quads (4K–50K) for editing and animation, or triangles (2K–500K) for detail and printing.

    Try it
  • A 3D printer nozzle printing a grey dragon miniature layer by layer

    STL for printing

    Rodin can return STL directly, so prints skip the conversion step.

Also

What else it does

  • Five quality tiers

    Gen-2.5 runs from Extreme-low to Extreme-high; micro detail is available at the top tier.

  • Faithful or creative

    Follow your photo closely, or let the engine interpret it more freely.

Versions

Rodin Gen-2.5 vs Gen-2

Both are in the studio.

  • Rodin 2.5

    Launched May 2026. Five quality tiers, faithful or creative geometry, HD texture pass, baked-light removal, micro detail at Extreme-high.

  • Rodin 2

    Launched Oct 2025. Clean, detailed meshes; the first photo drives the materials.

FAQ

Rodin AI 3D Generator questions

What is Rodin AI?

Rodin is Hyper3D's AI 3D generator, developed by Deemos. It creates textured 3D models from text or images.

Link to this answer

What's new in Rodin Gen-2.5?

Gen-2.5 (May 2026) adds selectable quality tiers, more detailed geometry and textures, and options like faithful or creative geometry. In the studio you get five tiers, mesh budgets up to 500K triangles and the HighPack add-on.

Link to this answer

Can Rodin make 10M-polygon models here?

No. Hyper3D advertises very high polygon counts on its own platform; through the studio, Rodin's maximum is 500K triangles or 50K quads, with HighPack for 4K textures.

Link to this answer

What is BANG?

BANG is Deemos's research method for splitting a 3D asset into parts using generative “exploded views” (SIGGRAPH 2025). It underpins Rodin's part features on Hyper3D's own platform; part splitting isn't an option in the studio.

Link to this answer

Can I 3D print Rodin models?

Yes — choose STL as the file format, or convert GLB with the free tools.

Link to this answer

Do I need a Hyper3D account?

No — Rodin runs inside Kenerate's 3D Studio on any paid plan or credit pack.

Link to this answer

Is Rodin AI safe to use?

Yes, as it runs here. You sign in to Kenerate only — no separate Hyper3D account — and each model is saved to your gallery as a standard GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ or STL file. Prompts are checked before a job runs, and adult 3D content is blocked.

Link to this answer

Can I use Rodin models commercially?

Use generated models in your projects; check Hyper3D's terms for any limits on its engines' output.
