Hunyuan3D

closed / Overall score: 3.0

Hunyuan3D is Tencent's family of image-to-3D models that generate a shape with one diffusion model and paint its texture with a second. Its current release, Hunyuan3D 3.0, is served only through Tencent Cloud and the Hunyuan3D site. The downloadable releases run from Hunyuan3D 2.0 and its mini and multi-view variants to Hunyuan3D 2.1, which adds a physically based material model and releases its training code.

The current release, Hunyuan3D 3.0, is hosted-only, and Hunyuan3D 2.5 was released as a technical report without weights; Hunyuan3D 2.1 remains downloadable under Tencent's regional community license. It scores 1/closed on the current release, and the older open line trails it. A separate availability attribute that would record that gap is tracked in #727.
