# Tripo AI

> AI generator converting text and 2D images into 3D models.

Tripo AI converts flat images, sketches, or text prompts into textured 3D models within seconds. It offers engine-ready quad meshes, automated rigging, and model segmentation for 3D printing. It is useful for game developers, animators, and designers needing rapid 3D prototyping without manual sculpting.
