What This Skill Does

Lux3D generates 3D assets through three documented asynchronous workflows:

• Image to 3D: submit an input image, poll the task, then download the ZIP result.
• Text to 3D: submit a prompt plus style, optionally with a reference image, poll the task, then download the ZIP result.
• Material Repaint: submit a reference image and a model URL, poll the task, then download the regenerated model result.

All workflows require LUX3D_API_KEY, which is the API key obtained from https://labs.aholo3d.com/api-keys.

API Endpoint

• Global Endpoint: https://api.aholo3d.com/global

Concurrency Limits

Lux3D limits the number of generation tasks that can be in progress at the same time based on the account plan. Image-to-3D, text-to-3D, and material repaint tasks share the same account-level concurrency quota.

If a task creation endpoint returns GENERATION_CONCURRENCY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED, the account has reached its concurrency limit. No new task is created and no credits are consumed. Wait for an existing task to finish before retrying, or upgrade the account for higher concurrency.

Python Usage

G1 Image-to-3D

G1 accepts one local image through image_path and additional views through imagePaths, for a total of 1-32 images. The client encodes local images as complete Base64 Data URLs. Multiple views are sent in imgs; one view uses img.

from skill.lux3d_client import generate_3d_model

result = generate_3d_model(
    "path/to/view-1.png",
    imagePaths=["path/to/view-2.png"],
    version="G1",
    outputFormat=["zip"],
    faceCount=200000,
    enablePbr=True,
    textureSize=1000,
)

G1 supports outputFormat=["zip"], ["glb"], and ["ply"]. glb returns tex_mesh.glb when PBR is enabled and mesh.glb when enablePbr=False; ply returns gaussian.ply; zip or an empty or omitted list returns results.zip; a combined request returns and downloads multiple artifacts in format order. faceCount affects Mesh only and does not affect PLY 3DGS. G1 defaults are faceCount=200000, enablePbr=True, and textureSize=1000.

Image to 3D

from skill.lux3d_client import generate_3d_model

result = generate_3d_model("path/to/input.jpg", version="v2.0-preview")
print(result)

Specify the target face count (optional; affects Mesh outputs only and does not affect 3DGS outputs; supported by v2.0-preview, v3.0-standard, and G1 in the range [10000, 500000]; when omitted, v2.0-preview and v3.0-standard use 60000, while G1 uses 200000; v1.0-pro ignores this parameter):

result = generate_3d_model("path/to/input.jpg", version="v3.0-standard", faceCount=100000)
print(result)

Or explicitly select the Global endpoint with the international region value:

result = generate_3d_model("path/to/input.jpg", region="international", version="v2.0-preview")
print(result)

Text to 3D

from skill.lux3d_client import generate_text_to_3d

result = generate_text_to_3d(
    "Generate a high-quality 3D wooden chair",
    style="photorealistic",
    version="v2.0-preview",
)
print(result)

Specify target face count (affects Mesh only, not 3DGS; effective for v2.0-preview / v3.0-standard / G1):

result = generate_text_to_3d(
    "Generate a high-quality 3D wooden chair",
    style="photorealistic",
    version="v3.0-standard",
    faceCount=100000,
)
print(result)

Text plus Reference Image

G1 text-to-3D uses the same outputFormat, faceCount, enablePbr, and textureSize options:

result = generate_text_to_3d(
    "Generate a modern wooden dining chair",
    version="G1",
    outputFormat=["glb"],
    enablePbr=False,
)

from skill.lux3d_client import generate_text_to_3d

result = generate_text_to_3d(
    "Generate a premium ceramic vase with a glossy glaze",
    style="glass",
    image_path="path/to/reference.png",
    version="v2.0-preview",
)
print(result)

Low-level Task APIs

from skill.lux3d_client import (
    create_task,
    create_text_to_3d_task,
    create_material_transfer_task,
    query_task_status,
    download_model,
)

image_task_id = create_task("path/to/input.jpg")
text_task_id = create_text_to_3d_task(
    "Generate a stylized toy robot",
    style="cartoon",
    image_path="path/to/reference.png",
)
material_task_id = create_material_transfer_task(
    "path/to/reference.png",
    meshUrl="https://qhstaticssl.kujiale.com/application/octetstream/1784776896628/material_transfer_model.glb",
)

image_model_url = query_task_status(image_task_id)
text_model_url = query_task_status(text_task_id)
material_model_url = query_task_status(material_task_id)

download_model(image_model_url, "image_to_3d.zip")
download_model(text_model_url, "text_to_3d.zip")
download_model(material_model_url, "material_transfer.zip")

Material Repaint

from skill.lux3d_client import generate_material_transfer

result = generate_material_transfer(
    "path/to/reference.png",
    meshUrl="https://qhstaticssl.kujiale.com/application/octetstream/1784776896628/material_transfer_model.glb",
    version="v2.0-preview",
)
print(result)

Command Line Usage

Region Selection

Use --region or -r to select the Global endpoint with the international region value (default):

python lux3d_client.py --region international image input.jpg output.zip

Or omit the region flag; Global is the default endpoint (international region value):

python lux3d_client.py image input.jpg output.zip

Image to 3D

# Historical form (default region)
python lux3d_client.py input.jpg output.zip --version v3.0-standard

# Explicit command
python lux3d_client.py image input.jpg output.zip --version v3.0-standard

Text to 3D

python lux3d_client.py text "Generate a high-quality 3D wooden chair" output.zip --style photorealistic --version v3.0-standard

Text to 3D with Reference Image

python lux3d_client.py text "Generate a futuristic desk lamp" output.zip --style cyberpunk --image ref.png --version v3.0-standard

Material Repaint

python lux3d_client.py material reference.png output.zip --mesh-url https://qhstaticssl.kujiale.com/application/octetstream/1784776896628/material_transfer_model.glb --version v3.0-standard

Text-to-3D Styles

Supported styles:

Output Format

Pass outputFormat as a string for backward compatibility or as a list for the unified API field outputFormat. v2.0-preview and v3.0-standard support zip, glb, usdz, obj_zip, and fbx_zip. G1 supports only zip, glb, and ply. When a result contains multiple URLs, downloading without a selected format defaults to zip.

Lux3D Version

You can specify the Lux3D version via the version parameter:

Important: If the version parameter is not provided in the request, the system will default to v3.0-standard. Custom face count: faceCount is optional and specifies the target face count for image-to-3D / text-to-3D Mesh generation. It affects Mesh outputs only and does not affect 3DGS outputs. v2.0-preview, v3.0-standard, and G1 support custom face counts in the range [10000, 500000]. When omitted, v2.0-preview and v3.0-standard use 60000, while G1 uses 200000; v1.0-pro ignores this parameter.

All generation APIs (image-to-3D, text-to-3D, material repaint) support the version parameter.

Specify Version in Python

# Image to 3D with version
result = generate_3d_model("path/to/input.jpg", version="v3.0-standard")

# Text to 3D with version
result = generate_text_to_3d(
    "Generate a high-quality 3D wooden chair",
    style="photorealistic",
    version="v3.0-standard",
)

# Material repaint with version
result = generate_material_transfer(
    "path/to/reference.png",
    meshUrl="https://qhstaticssl.kujiale.com/application/octetstream/1784776896628/material_transfer_model.glb",
    version="v3.0-standard",
)

Specify Version in Command Line

# Image to 3D with version
python lux3d_client.py image input.jpg output.zip --version v3.0-standard

# Text to 3D with version
python lux3d_client.py text "Generate a high-quality 3D wooden chair" output.zip --style photorealistic --version v3.0-standard

# Material repaint with version
python lux3d_client.py material reference.png output.zip --mesh-url https://qhstaticssl.kujiale.com/application/octetstream/1784776896628/material_transfer_model.glb --version v3.0-standard

Output

v3.0-standard Multi-format Output

The v3.0-standard version supports five model format outputs. You can choose the appropriate format based on your use case:

Download Different Formats

Choose formats at task creation time through list-form outputFormat. Do not append ?format= to a result URL:

result = generate_3d_model(
    "path/to/input.jpg",
    version="v3.0-standard",
    outputFormat=["glb"],
)

v2.0-preview and v3.0-standard support zip, glb, usdz, obj_zip, and fbx_zip. Classic optional slots that were not requested may return NOT_REQUESTED; a multi-format request downloads ZIP by default.

v2.0-preview Multi-format Output

The v2.0-preview version supports five model format outputs:

v1.0-pro Output

The v1.0-pro version returns a single ZIP result containing:

• A GLB model file
• Complete PBR texture assets (with transparent material support)

Result Validity

All format download links are valid for 2 hours, please download promptly.

Notes

• Authentication uses Authorization header: Authorization:
• Image-to-3D, text-to-3D, and material repaint use different create endpoints
• All three workflows share the same task query endpoint
• prompt and style are required for text-to-3D
• img is optional for text-to-3D and should be a full data URL after encoding
• Material repaint requires img (reference image) and meshUrl (model GLB file URL) parameters

Requirements

pip install Pillow requests
