Have been using this tool for a long time and it has grown so well since the early days.

Delighted with the tool, have used it for game jams as well as larger projects and for models to bring into Blender etc, or to turn into voxel creations using other software.

PROS

Amazing and simple procedural 3D models for games and other creative purposes, the generators are crafted by hand so the models are of significantly better quality than other online generative services.

CONS

I think the perfect pricing setup is yet to be found but I believe the team will definitely get there in time.

Mesh "Generation" is a reach for what Sloyd does

Attempting to use this tool in a production ready game project would severely limit my creativity. I would need to work around the lack of specific models this tool can "generate" to build my game. I found far better results, cheaper and faster by simply browsing my game engine's preferred asset store for what I was looking for.

PROS

There's a library of extremely basic low poly models to use as placeholders in your game.

CONS

The mesh generation is lackluster at best, a blatant lie at worst. Generating a model is more like searching their library for keywords, allowing the AI to select a model that matches the best, then randomizing a few properties on the model. It doesn't seem like this tool is using any actual AI at all beyond translating your text prompt into predefined properties.

Vendor Response

Thanks for trying Sloyd. The mesh is generated at runtime from code using implicit modeling. It's evident when you use a slider and the object is recreated. Generation is not based on keyword search, it's a language to 3D model that understands meaning and compiles a model out of a space of available parts. We also have text editing that is AI based. Some use what they generate out of Sloyd as final assets. Others use it as a starting point or for prototyping. We are improving model quality over time, and if you're not impressed at the time you wrote this review, we hope that will change in coming month.
