3D Models

Convert a single source image into a textured 3D model (image-to-3D). The job result is a downloadable GLB model_url plus an array of snapshot image URLs rendered from different angles (handy for previews). Accepts optional mesh controls: target_num_faces (max triangle count, 1000-200000, default 50000), texture_size (1024 or 2048, default 2048), and texture_type ("pbr", "simple", or "none", default "pbr"). Credits are held when the job is accepted and refunded if it fails or is cancelled. Pass an optional request_id to tag the result so you can locate it later via listGenerations (type 3d). Requires an API key (user scope). The call returns 202 with a job id - poll getApiJob (pass wait 30 to long-poll) honouring poll_after_ms, until status is succeeded; its result field is exactly the response documented for this operation. Synchronous responses are deprecated but still supported: pass `async: false` to block until the result is ready and receive it as the response body. Synchronous calls run on the same queue: the response carries an X-Ludo-Job-Id header, and a job still running after 15 minutes comes back as 202 with the job instead of an error. Each account may have up to 50 generations queued or running at once via the API; a request beyond that returns 429 (code PENDING_JOBS_LIMIT).

Request body

imagestring required

URL or base64-encoded image to convert to 3D

target_num_facesinteger

Maximum triangle count for the mesh (1000-200000)

texture_size1024 | 2048

Texture resolution in pixels

texture_type'pbr' | 'simple' | 'none'

Texture type

request_idstring

Optional client-provided identifier, unique per request. Re-sending the same request_id returns the existing job instead of generating again. Also usable as the request_id filter of listGenerations.

asyncboolean

Defaults to true: the call returns 202 immediately with a job id to poll with getApiJob. Set false for a synchronous response (deprecated but supported): the call then blocks until the result is ready.

Response

Success

model_urlstring

URL to the generated 3D model file

snapshotsstring[]

URLs to snapshot images from different angles (useful for previews and MCP agents)
