The honest brief
Rodin
Targets production pipelines with clean topology and PBR materials, where most image-to-3D tools output messy meshes.
- Generates from images or text
- High-fidelity, production-ready meshes
- Free tier to start
- Built for game/film asset pipelines
- Single proprietary model
- Web-only workflow
- Credit costs for high-res exports
Spline
A real collaborative 3D editor for interactive web scenes first, with AI generation bolted on as an accelerator — not a prompt-only toy.
- Full browser-based 3D editor
- Exports scenes for the web
- Real-time collaboration
- AI object/texture/animation generation
- Learning curve for non-designers
- AI generation is secondary to manual editing
- Heavy scenes can tax browsers
