Runway rolled out native 3D asset support in its creative suite on 12 November 2026, following Sightline earlier in the week. Users can generate detailed 3D models from text prompts or still images via Tripo H3.1 or upload their own 3D meshes, rotate the asset to pick exact camera angles as visual references for downstream image or video generation, and export generated models into external 3D pipelines.
Key details
- Underlying 3D generator
- Tripo H3.1 (text-to-3D and image-to-3D) plus custom user 3D model uploads
- Workflow outputs
- Arbitrary viewport angle framing for Runway image/video references and external 3D mesh export
Release details & context
Spatial conditioning inside Runway’s multi-format studio
Adding Tripo H3.1 mesh generation and custom 3D uploads complements Runway’s 9 November Sightline workspace and its 11 November Apache 2.0 Praxis-1 world action model, though Runway’s X post did not specify per-generation credit rates or supported mesh file extensions such as GLB, FBX or USDZ.
