Description

Generate 3D models with AI providers (Tripo, Meshy) and import them into the Unity project. Bring-your-own-key: provider keys live in the editor's secure store and never cross the bridge.

ACTIONS:

• generate: Submit a generation job (text->3D or image->3D). Returns { job_id } immediately; poll with the status action. Params: provider, mode (text|image), prompt, image_path|image_url, format (glb|fbx|obj|usdz), target_size, texture, tier, name, output_folder.
• status: Poll an async job by job_id -> { state, progress, assetPath?, error? }.
• cancel: Cancel an in-flight job by job_id.
• list_providers: List configured 3D providers and capabilities (no key values).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
action	Literal['generate', 'status', 'cancel', 'list_providers']	yes	Action to perform.
provider	str | None	—	Provider id (tripo, meshy).
mode	str | None	—	Generation mode: text or image.
prompt	str | None	—	Text prompt for text->3D.
image_path	str | None	—	Path to a source image for image->3D.
image_url	str | None	—	URL of a source image for image->3D.
format	str | None	—	Output model format: glb, fbx, obj, or usdz.
target_size	float | None	—	Normalize the largest dimension to this size (meters).
texture	bool | None	—	Whether to generate textures for the model.
tier	str | None	—	Provider quality/cost tier.
name	str | None	—	Base name for the imported asset.
output_folder	str | None	—	Destination folder under Assets/ for the import.
job_id	str | None	—	Job id for status/cancel.

Returns

A dict containing the Unity response. The exact shape depends on the action.
