Tripo 3.1 is now available in ComfyUI via Partner Nodes as of May 11, 2026, adding production-grade 3D asset generation to the same node graph where you already work with images and video. The ComfyUI blog announcement highlights higher geometry density, PBR-ready materials, and three downloadable workflow templates ready for immediate use.

What Happened

Tripo, the 3D generation platform serving 6.5 million creators with over 100 million models generated, shipped version 3.1 with a day-0 ComfyUI integration via the Partner Node library. Previous Tripo releases required visiting the Tripo web app separately; the ComfyUI integration brings text-to-3D, image-to-3D, and multiview-to-3D into a single graph. One notable fix from 3.0: the quad output option that caused broken GLB file exports is now deprecated and disabled in 3.1, eliminating the crash that burned through credits on failed outputs.

Why It Matters for 3D Creators

With Tripo 3.1 as a ComfyUI node, you can pipe image generation output directly into a Tripo 3D node to get a model, then route the GLB into a material or renderer node, all without leaving the graph. That eliminates the manual download-convert-upload loop that slowed mixed 2D and 3D workflows. The PBR-ready materials mean Tripo output goes straight into Blender, Unity, or Unreal without re-texturing, and the high-density geometry holds detail at extreme proximity for hero assets, product renders, and AR/VR placements.

Key Details

  • Access: Install the Tripo Partner Node from ComfyUI Node Library, or try on Comfy Cloud without local setup
  • Three workflow templates: Text to Model, Image to Model, Multiview to Model (JSON templates downloadable from ComfyUI GitHub)
  • Geometry: High-density output for sharper edges and cleaner silhouettes; stable in close-up and hero shots
  • Materials: PBR-ready, compatible with Blender, Unity, Unreal, and standard render environments
  • Exports: GLB, FBX, OBJ, USD, STL via the Tripo platform
  • Pricing: Free to start with Pro tiers for higher volume; credits consumed per generation
  • Bug fix: Quad option deprecated in 3.1; the broken GLB file exports

What to Do Next

Open ComfyUI Node Library and search for "Tripo" to install the Partner Node. Start with Image to Model if you already have product shots or character concepts: it gives the fastest path to a usable mesh. The ComfyUI production workflows guide covers how to chain 3D generation with image and video pipelines, and the 3D artists workflow guide covers post-generation refinement in Blender and Fusion.
