What's the difference between Seed3D and other 3D generation models (like Hunyuan3D 2.1, TripoSG)?
Seed3D's core differentiation lies in the 'Simulation-ready' concept. Compared to Hunyuan3D 2.1 focusing on cinematic rendering and TripoSG focusing on high-fidelity geometry, Seed3D generated models can be directly used for physical simulation (like Isaac Sim), featuring watertight mesh, complete PBR materials, and physical parameters. Additionally, Seed3D achieves SOTA in both geometry accuracy (ULIP-I 0.2536) and texture quality (CLIP-FID 9.97).
How to call Seed3D API? What configuration is needed?
Access Seed3D through Volcano Engine API. Steps: 1) Register Volcano Engine account and obtain API key; 2) Use Seed3D model ID 'doubao-seed3d-1-0-250928' to call; 3) Pass image URL or base64; 4) Wait 15-30 seconds for Seed3D GLB/OBJ model files. Supports multiple calling methods including Python, Node.js, cURL for Seed3D.
What formats do Seed3D generated 3D models support? How to integrate into game engines?
Seed3D supports GLB and OBJ format export. GLB format includes integrated geometry, textures, and materials, recommended for Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender. OBJ format includes geometry and MTL material files with wider compatibility. Seed3D models contain complete UV coordinates and PBR materials (Albedo/Metallic/Roughness), directly importable into mainstream 3D tools without additional processing.
What is PBR material? Why does Seed3D emphasize PBR?
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) is a physics-based rendering technique that precisely describes how materials interact with light through three channels: Albedo (reflectance), Metallic (metallicity), and Roughness. Seed3D generated PBR materials present realistic effects under different lighting environments, suitable for games, film, and simulation scenarios. This is Seed3D's key advantage over pure geometry generation models.
Can Seed3D be directly used for robotic simulation?
Yes! This is Seed3D's core design goal. Seed3D generated models are watertight mesh (closed mesh), directly importable into NVIDIA Isaac Sim for physical simulation, supporting collision detection, friction, mass calculation, and other physical properties. Additionally, Seed3D combined with VLM can automatically estimate object real-world scale, ensuring physics accuracy in simulation environments, widely applied in robotic grasping, navigation, and manipulation training.
What's the quality of Seed3D generation? What are the limitations?
Seed3D achieves SOTA on ULIP-I (0.2536) and Uni3D-I (0.3999) metrics, with texture quality CLIP-FID as low as 9.97. However, some limitations exist: 1) Input image quality directly affects Seed3D generation results, recommend using clear, evenly lit images; 2) Complex textures or transparent materials may require manual adjustment; 3) Objects with extreme angles or heavy occlusion will have reduced generation quality. Recommend using front-facing clear images with simple backgrounds for optimal Seed3D results.
How is Seed3D pricing? Does it support batch generation?
Seed3D is billed through Volcano Engine per API call, see pricing page for specific rates. Supports batch API calls with concurrent generation of multiple Seed3D 3D models. Enterprise version provides higher concurrency, priority queue, and technical support. Each Seed3D generation consumes credits, which can be obtained through recharge or subscription plans.
