Zen 3D
Zen 3D is a unified framework for controllable generation of 3D assets. Based on Hunyuan3D-Omni, it provides multi-modal control for creating high-fidelity 3D models from images, point clouds, voxels, poses, and bounding boxes.
Overview
Zen 3D inherits the powerful architecture of Hunyuan3D 2.1 and extends it with a unified control encoder for additional control signals:
- Point Cloud Control: Generate 3D models guided by input point clouds
- Voxel Control: Create 3D models from voxel representations
- Pose Control: Generate 3D human models with specific skeletal poses
- Bounding Box Control: Generate 3D models constrained by 3D bounding boxes
Features
- π¨ Multi-Modal Control: Point cloud, voxel, skeleton, and bounding box
- π High Quality: Production-ready PBR materials
- β‘ FlashVDM: Optional optimization for faster inference
- π― 10GB VRAM: Efficient generation on consumer GPUs
- π§ EMA Support: Exponential Moving Average for stable inference

Python API
from zen_3d import Zen3DGenerator
# Initialize model
generator = Zen3DGenerator(
model_path="./models",
device="cuda",
use_ema=True,
flashvdm=True
)
# Point cloud control
point_cloud = load_point_cloud("input.ply")
result = generator.generate(
control_type="point",
control_data=point_cloud,
image="reference.jpg"
)
# Save result
result.save("output.obj")
Training
Zen 3D can be trained on custom 3D datasets using Zen Gym:
cd /Users/z/work/zen/gym
# LoRA finetuning for Zen 3D
llamafactory-cli train \
--config configs/zen_3d_lora.yaml \
--dataset your_3d_dataset
See Zen Gym for training infrastructure.
