modly: Turn photos into 3D models on your own GPU, no cloud required
lightningpixel/modly
About the project
The system takes photos as input and outputs 3D models. Open-source AI models run directly on the user's GPU, without relying on cloud servers or external APIs. It is a desktop application supporting Windows, Linux, and Apple Silicon macOS environments.

Various models such as Hunyuan3D 2 Mini, TripoSG, and Trellis2 GGUF are provided as official extensions. Each extension is distributed as a GitHub repository and can be installed by simply entering the URL on the Models page within the app. In the Workflow tab, you control the processing pipeline through node connections, from image generation to mesh addition.
Generated meshes can be optimized directly within the app by applying smoothing and decimation (polygon count reduction). Additionally, the Modly CLI allows scripts or agents to automate 3D generation tasks without a GUI, facilitating pipeline integration.
It is suitable for 3D content creators who prioritize privacy or find cloud costs burdensome. The project follows the MIT license, and attribution to the original source is required for derivative works.
