A local pipeline turns text or images into animated 3D assets in under 30 minutes

- The author shares a standalone local 3D pipeline that turns a text or image concept into a fully rigged, animated 3D asset in under 30 minutes.
- The pipeline uses Microsoft Trellis 2.0 for local text/image-to-3D baking, then automates rigging and retargeting in Houdini, and finally exports directly to Unreal Engine 5.
- The whole setup runs 100% offline on Windows, uses ComfyUI and Ollama under the hood, and includes automation to avoid GPU OOM crashes by flushing Ollama VRAM before generation.
- It also auto-organizes concepts, meshes, metadata, and preview GIFs into clean folder structures.
