Vast builds Tripo AI, a generative 3D platform for text-to-3D asset creation.
Vast's flagship product is Tripo AI, a generative 3D platform converting text prompts, images, or sketches into production-ready 3D assets in seconds. The platform features intelligent segmentation for precise geometry splitting, one-click 4K PBR-ready texturing with Magic Brush, and automatic rigging and animation with clean skeletons.
Tripo AI serves over 10 million individual users and 90,000 studio clients including Sony and NetEase. The platform requires no local installation or GPU setup, operating entirely through a browser-based interface with seamless workflow integration.
The generative 3D AI market is rapidly expanding as game studios and VFX houses seek alternatives to manual 3D modeling. Vast's Tripo AI reduces hours of manual work to seconds, creating potential for a TikTok-like platform for user-generated 3D content.
China's AI unicorn formation in 2026 now includes 3D generative AI, signaling competition has expanded beyond language models into creative pipeline software. Vast's one billion dollar valuation reflects investor confidence in this vertical's growth potential.
Vast claims global leadership in AI 3D large models, with Tripo 3.0 offering the most accurate and detail-rich geometry in the market. The platform's speed and quality give it an edge over competitors including Meshy AI, Rodin AI, and Sudo AI.
Founder Simon Song Yachen previously co-founded MiniMax, bringing deep expertise in Chinese AI markets. With 90,000 studio clients and major partnerships with Sony and NetEase, Vast has established significant data and integration advantages in 3D AI.
Tripo AI operates on a freemium model with individual user access and enterprise studio plans. The platform offers free AI 3D generation from text and images, with premium features including 4K PBR texturing and auto-rigging through subscription tiers.
The company targets both B2C creators and B2B studios, with 10 million individual users and 90,000 studio clients including enterprise customers like Sony and NetEase. This dual-market approach captures hobbyist adoption while monetizing professional production workflows.
