CSM.ai
Generate production-ready 3D models and worlds from images, sketches, or text.
About
CSM.ai (Common Sense Machines) is a 3D generative AI platform that converts images, sketches, or text prompts into textured 3D meshes. Beyond basic image-to-3D, it offers a workflow suite with automated UV unwrapping, retopology, shading, texturing, and animation, plus generative agents that chain steps like text to image to 3D to environment. An API and Unity, Unreal, and Blender integrations target game studios and VR creators.
Pricing is freemium: a free Tinkerer tier offers limited low-res meshes on a shared server with content under CC BY 4.0, while Maker at $20 per month and Creative Pro at $60 per month add credits, private customer-owned assets, faster clusters, and commercial use. Reviewers caution that AI-generated topology often needs manual polishing for complex production assets.
