About

VAST (三启万物) is a Beijing-headquartered AI company founded in March 2023, focused on the research and development of general-purpose 3D foundation models and world models. Its product line centers on the Tripo family of 3D generation models. The founding team pairs deep research credentials with product experience: founder and CEO Song Yachen (born 1997) completed his undergraduate studies at Johns Hopkins University, previously led an AI project at SenseTime, and took part in founding MiniMax; CTO Liang Ding earned his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees at Tsinghua University and formerly headed general model development at SenseTime; Chief Scientist Cao Yanpei holds a PhD from Tsinghua and co-founded the 3D holographic company Owlii.

Key Features

Fast generation: Tripo P1.0, built on a native probability-space architecture, produces clean-topology, professional-grade 3D assets that are ready for game engines in about 2 seconds from text or image prompts; Tripo H3.1 focuses on character shapes, facial detail, and highly faithful reproduction of geometry and text.

High Detail Model: a newly released high-detail mode offering native quad meshes, up to 2 million polygons, and artist-grade topology designed to slot straight into production pipelines.

AI Remesh: one-click retopology that converts triangle soups into clean quad meshes, removing one of the most tedious manual cleanup steps in 3D workflows.

AI Texturing: generates true 8K PBR textures that are ready for Unreal Engine, Unity, and Blender out of the box.

Smart Segmentation: splits a generated model into editable parts at three precision levels, making it easy to adjust or reuse individual components.

Auto-Rigging & Animation: automatic skeletal binding and animation generation for both humanoid and creature models, carrying assets from static mesh to animated character.

TripoSR: an open-source model built jointly with Stability AI that generates 3D from a single image in about 0.5 seconds, useful for rapid previews from reference photos.

Pricing & Fees

Proven scale: according to official figures, Tripo Studio has brought together more than 6.5 million creators, with nearly 100 million 3D models generated to date and over 90,000 developers served.
Commercial traction: as of August 2025, annual recurring revenue (ARR) was reported at approximately US$12 million, and over 80% of its roughly 5 million professional users are based overseas.
Ecosystem reach: cooperation spans Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance, NetEase, and others, with Sony, NetEase Games, ByteDance, Stability AI, Bambu Lab, and Creality currently listed as partners on the official site.
Strong funding: a US$50 million Series A in 2026 co-led by Alibaba and Hengxu Capital, followed in July of the same year by an A3 strategic round exceeding RMB 1 billion with participation from Giant Network.
