image-to-3d

image-to-3d is a skill for Claude Code from guinacio/claude-image-gen. It costs 112 tokens per session (3,789 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that turns one image of an isolated object into a downloadable GLB 3D model through the Tripo service. A GLB is a 3D file that can be opened by tools such as Blender, Unity, or Unreal.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reconstructing products, clothing, props, or hardware from photographs or generated images. It uploads the image, creates the model, and downloads the resulting GLB, with optional extra views and textures.
Why use it?
It avoids manually building a basic 3D mesh from a product photo or other single-object image. A required confirmation step helps prevent an unintended paid generation job.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

image-to-3d scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/normalize_views.py, scripts/tripo.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 298 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image to 3D with Tripo

One image of one isolated object goes in, a GLB comes out. The script in scripts/tripo.py handles upload, submission, polling and download.

Cost rule, before anything else

Never submit a Tripo job without asking first. Every run spends the user's credits. The script enforces this: without --yes it prints the plan, the cost and the account balance, and stops. Show that dry run, then wait for an explicit go-ahead before adding --yes.

Usage

python scripts/tripo.py piece.png --name sneaker --output-dir ./models
python scripts/tripo.py piece.png --name sneaker --output-dir ./models --yes

Needs TRIPO_API_KEY in the environment. Standard library only, no install.

Flag Effect
--yes actually submit and spend
--left, --back, --right supply your own views instead of letting Tripo invent them
--direct single-image path, skips multiview: cheaper, least accurate geometry
--model-version H Series v3.1-20260211 (default) or v3.0-20250812; P Series P1-20260311 or P2-20260801 (preview), see below
--name, --output-dir naming and destination

Texture — all inert unless --texture is passed:

Flag Effect
--texture also generate texture maps, 10 more credits (default: geometry only)
--texture-quality detailed +10 credits
--texture-alignment original_image (default) favours visual fidelity, geometry favours structure
--texture-seed N repeatable texture

Mesh:

Flag Effect
--face-limit N cap the polygon count
--geometry-quality detailed Tripo's Ultra mode, +20 credits
--smart-low-poly the Smart Mesh of the web UI: built topology instead of a collapsed dense mesh, +10 credits
--quad quads instead of triangles, +5 credits
--generate-parts model split into parts, +20 credits; refuses to combine with textures or --quad
--no-export-uv faster, but the mesh arrives with no UVs
--compress geometry geometry compression instead of the default meshopt

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
