Make your first 3D model

Type an idea, get a textured 3D model. 30 credits — you start with 100.

This is the whole path from an idea to a finished model. You type a sentence, choose what kind of thing it is, and Hewly builds a textured 3D model you can turn, download or print — in your browser, with no 3D software.

Step by step

In the menu on the left, tap 3D model.
Type what you want in the big box, for example: a small round robot mascot, smiling. Stuck? Tap Suggest.
Pick what it is: Character, Item or Environment.
Optional: tick Show me 4 pictures first (8 credits) to choose the look before you pay for the 3D part.
Tap Generate. A model costs 30 credits and takes a few minutes. The page updates by itself — you can leave and come back.
When it's ready, the model opens on its own page. Everything you can do with it starts there.

Good to know

One subject per model works best. Say its colours and what it's made of.
For printing, ask for a solid pose — arms close to the body, nothing thin sticking out.
If a generation fails, your credits come straight back.
