Description

Kaedim is an AI-powered 3D asset creation platform that turns sketches, reference packs, product photos, and briefs into production-ready 3D models. Merging advanced proprietary AI with expert artist review, Kaedim scales 3D pipelines without hiring, helps accelerate game art production, and significantly reduces 3D asset production costs.

Meshy is an AI-powered 3D model generator built for 3D artists, game developers, and 3D printing hobbyists. It allows users to turn text prompts or images into textured, rigged, and export-ready 3D models in minutes without requiring prior 3D modeling experience.
