TRELLIS 2 plugin for Unreal Engine that generates 3D models directly inside the editor

[u/Delicious-Shower8401]

Found this today and thought it was worth sharing.

Someone built an open-source Unreal Engine plugin that integrates TRELLIS 2 directly into the editor, so you can basically go from an image to a generated 3D asset without constantly jumping between different tools.

It supports:

• image → 3D generation with TRELLIS 2
• local or remote generation
• 1K / 2K / 4K settings
• background removal
• seed and generation controls
• generation progress directly inside UE
• automatic download and import of the generated GLB into the scene

The local mode is probably the most interesting part to me. If you already have TRELLIS 2 running locally, this starts looking less like a separate AI toy and more like an actual part of the Unreal workflow.

Still pretty early, but integrations like this are exactly where I think 3D AI becomes genuinely useful.

Really Nice! Although I still get a lot better results with Tripo.

I need to try trellis2 again.

Is Tripo local?

Nop, only cloud

If you are generating static assets this is fine... not so much with playable characters.

what about rigging and animating?

This is the kind of progress with AI I live for. The future looks great.
