This guide explains how to use AI to create high quality 3d generated models and how to install it all for free using open-source ComfyUI Portable with Hunyuan3D-2 on your local Windows PC. Its possible to install on linux/mac with nvidia using the exact same steps but the script is tested and works for Windows. An untested but converted Linux Ubuntu linux install script is also provided.
Using this setup, you can quickly generate game-ready placeables, creatures, or tileset parts from either a 2D image or a text prompt, producing fully textured 3D models with UV mapping. The AI intelligently predicts the 3D shape and even generates unseen textures based on the image input. (Check out the example screenshots of a gorilla’s 2D image on a white background and its resulting 3D model in Blender.)
