Manycore Tech Launches Lux3D: 3D Assets in 20 Seconds at ~0.07 RMB Each

Manycore Tech (parent of Kujiale) released Lux3D, a 3D generation model emphasizing high-fidelity PBR materials and fast production, driving per-asset cost down to about 0.07 RMB with generation as fast as 20 seconds. Multiple creators tested its image-to-3D, text-to-3D and material repainting workflows.

Confirmed

Per @Scobleizer, Lux3D comprises three modules: image-to-3D, text-to-3D and material repainting; fastest generation completes in 20 seconds, with the fast mode producing textured models in 30 seconds to 1 minute
Beyond geometry, it predicts PBR attributes such as metalness, roughness and transparency, accurately distinguishing metal, ceramic and leather
Material repainting keeps geometry unchanged while resurfacing models with wood, ceramic, fabric or stone; users can upload reference images (e.g. ceramic glaze photos) to re-skin existing 3D models
Standard mode targets high-fidelity geometry/materials; Turbo mode is faster and cheaper for mass-producing game props; Harness Mode enables cost-efficient batch creation
@SarahAnnabels tested the text-to-3D workflow, generating a "Pixar-style 3D soldier" successfully, and noted most AI 3D generators handle textures, lighting and materials poorly while Lux3D makes metal objects actually look like metal

Why it matters

It sharply lowers the cost and barrier of 3D asset creation for games, e-commerce and animation
Accurate PBR material reproduction and repainting fill a real gap in AI 3D tooling
