Alpha3D for Blender

The full AI 3D pipeline, inside your viewport.

Generate a model from a prompt or a photo, then retopologize, segment, and auto-rig it, without ever leaving Blender.

What it is

Alpha3D for Blender brings Alpha3D's AI 3D pipeline into the Blender N-panel. Most AI tools stop at a dense, triangle-soup mesh and leave the rest to you. This add-on runs the whole chain, generation through rigging, right next to your viewport, and drops every result straight into your open scene as standard, editable Blender geometry.

• No round-trips. Generate, refine, and rig without a browser tab or a download-and-reimport dance.
• Production-usable output. Smart retopology turns a generated mesh into clean, quad-friendly topology that actually deforms and subdivides.
• One account, everywhere. Anything you make in Blender shows up in your Alpha3D library, and vice versa.

What you can do

Everything lives in View3D → Sidebar (N) → Alpha3D.

Tool	What it does	Runs
Text & Image to 3D	A prompt or a reference photo becomes a mesh in your scene. Three quality tiers (Low-Poly, High-Res, Ultra High-Res) with a PBR toggle, and the credit cost shown before you commit.	In Blender
Smart Retopology	Rebuild a dense mesh into clean, quad-friendly, animation-ready topology.	In Blender
AI Segmentation	Split a model into labeled, rig-ready parts, imported grouped under a single parent.	In Blender
AI Rigging	Auto-rig a humanoid T-pose (armature + skin weights), with an advisory T-pose check before you spend a credit.	In Blender
Library	Browse your generations and jobs, watch status update live, and import any finished asset with a download progress bar.	In Blender
UV Unwrapping · AI Texturing · Asset Tagging	Open the matching tool on the Alpha3D web app, working on your model's original mesh.	On the web

Generated meshes import into your active scene as ordinary geometry, ready to edit, texture, and export like anything else you build in Blender.

Install

The add-on is free to install.

1. Get the zip. Download the latest release (alpha3d_plugin.zip), or grab it from alpha3d.io/plugins.
2. In Blender: Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install from Disk, and pick the zip.
3. Enable Alpha3D in the add-on list.
4. Open the sidebar in the 3D viewport (N) and select the Alpha3D tab.

Developers can instead clone this repo and zip the alpha3d_plugin/ folder (so the archive contains alpha3d_plugin/__init__.py), or symlink it into Blender's scripts/addons/.

Compatibility: Blender 4.0 and newer (tested through 5.0), on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Connect your account

Click Connect in the Alpha3D tab. Your browser opens the Alpha3D login and links the session back to Blender. The add-on never handles your password; it stores a standard 30-day account token in the add-on preferences.

What you need

An Alpha3D account with credits. The tools run in Alpha3D's cloud, so generating, retopologizing, segmenting, and rigging spend credits from your account (credits are shared with the web app). The €5 Tester plan has enough to take a first asset from prompt to rigged.
