MCP for Blender Premium lets your AI assistant generate 3D models with Meshy, Hunyuan3D, Tripo and Hyper3D Rodin without setting up your own API keys or third-party accounts. You subscribe, get one license key, activate it in Blender, and generations come out of a monthly allowance.
Premium only changes where 3D generation runs. The tools your assistant uses stay the same, and everything else in MCP for Blender (scene editing, Poly Haven, Sketchfab, Poly Pizza) works exactly as before.
Plans
| Plan | Standard generations / month | High-quality generations / month | Computers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | 25 | None | 3 |
| Pro | 25 | 8 | 3 |
| Studio | 60 | 30 | 3 |
| Max | 100 | 50 | 3 |
- Standard generations use Meshy 7.1, Hunyuan3D v3.1 Rapid, or Tripo with standard textures (Pro, Studio and Max only). Every Meshy generation counts as standard.
- High-quality generations use Hunyuan3D v3.1 Pro, Tripo with HD textures, or Hyper3D Rodin. Every Rodin generation, and every Tripo generation from an image, counts as high quality.
- One allowance covers every model, in any mix. Allowances reset monthly and unused generations don't roll over.
- Studio and Max can run 3 generations at once.
- Failed generations are never counted.
See pricing for current prices.
Activate your license key
After checkout, your license key is shown on screen and emailed to you.
-
Make sure the MCP for Blender addon is up to date. Premium needs a recent addon; run
uvx mcp-for-blender@latest update, then restart your MCP client and Blender. -
In Blender, open Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → MCP for Blender.
-
Under 3D Generation, choose Premium.
-
Paste your key into License Key and click Activate.
Activating switches generation to Premium and turns on Meshy, Hyper3D Rodin, Hunyuan3D and Tripo in the current scene. The preferences then show your plan and how many generations you have left. Click Refresh to update the count.
The MCP for Blender sidebar tab (press N in the 3D viewport) also shows your plan and remaining generations while Premium is on.
Generating models
Ask your assistant for a model the same way you would with your own keys, for example: "Make a low-poly fox and put it on the rock." It checks the generator's status, starts the generation, waits for it to finish, and imports the model into your scene.
Models
| Model | From text | From an image | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meshy | Yes | Yes | Always standard |
| Hunyuan3D | Yes | Yes | Standard or high |
| Tripo | Yes | Yes | Standard or high from text; high from an image |
| Hyper3D Rodin | Yes | Yes | Always high |
Tripo is only available with Premium, on the Pro, Studio and Max plans. It uses Tripo P2 and is good at single textured objects with PBR materials. See the Tripo guide.
Meshy uses its latest model, Meshy 7.1, and sizes models to real-world height with their origin at the bottom. See the Meshy guide.
Quality
Set Default Quality in the Premium preferences (or Quality in the sidebar) to Standard or High. Your assistant uses the default unless you ask for more detail, in which case it requests a high-quality generation for that model. High quality is only available on Pro, Studio and Max.
Images
Image-to-3D needs a local file path or an image URL. Images you attach in the chat can't be passed to Blender, so your assistant will ask you for the file path instead. With Hyper3D Rodin, only the first image is used.
Getting the most out of Premium
With Premium active, the addon gives your assistant four generators: Meshy, Hunyuan3D, Tripo and Hyper3D Rodin. Your assistant can use any of them that are turned on, and picks one for each object unless you name it.
Turning models on
Activating your license key turns all four on in the scene that's open. Models are switched on per scene, so in a new scene or another .blend file:
-
Press N in the 3D viewport and open the MCP for Blender tab.
-
Tick Meshy, Tencent Hunyuan 3D, Tripo and Hyper3D Rodin.
Untick a model to stop your assistant from using it in that scene, for example to keep Rodin's high-quality generations for later.
Tripo is only available with Premium. It runs Tripo P2, Tripo's latest model, and needs the Pro, Studio or Max plan.
A few habits make your allowance go further:
- Generate objects, not scenes. Ask for one object per generation. Ground, walls and layout are better built in Blender, and a whole scene in one prompt comes back as a single lump.
- Duplicate instead of regenerating. Five chairs around a table is one generation and four copies. Ask your assistant to duplicate the first one.
- Draft with standard, finish with high. Try a shape with a standard generation, then ask for high quality once you like the idea.
- Use an image when the look matters. A reference image or concept art pins down the shape and style better than a long description.
- Describe the object, not the scene. "A weathered bronze lantern with a glass panel" works better than "a lantern sitting on a table at night".
Choosing a model
Name the model in your prompt to pick it yourself: "Use [model] to make…".
| Prompt | What it does |
|---|---|
| "Use Hunyuan3D to make a low-poly fox" | Quick standard generation, good for drafts |
| "Use Hunyuan3D in high quality to make a carved stone statue" | Hunyuan3D v3.1 Pro, more detail (Pro, Studio and Max) |
| "Use Meshy to make a wooden rocking chair" | Standard generation at real-world size |
| "Use Tripo to make a leather armchair with brass studs" | Textured object with PBR materials |
| "Use Tripo to turn /Users/me/Desktop/robot.png into a 3D model" | Image to 3D that closely follows the reference |
| "Use Rodin to make a stylised wizard character" | High-quality custom object or character |
| "Use Blender to make a ground plane and arrange the objects in a circle" | No generation; your assistant scripts it in Blender |
Which model for which job
| Scenario | Best choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Trying out ideas, background props, blockouts with real shapes | Hunyuan3D | Standard generations are fast and work on every plan |
| Props that should arrive at the right size, ready to place | Meshy | Real-world height, origin at the bottom; always standard |
| Props that need realistic materials (metal, wood, leather) | Tripo | PBR materials that look right under your scene's lighting |
| Matching concept art or a reference photo | Tripo | Follows reference images closely |
| Hero objects and characters | Hyper3D Rodin | Always high quality |
| Floors, walls, terrain, rooms | Blender directly | Generators make single objects, not environments |
On the Hobby plan, generation uses Meshy or Hunyuan3D at standard quality. Tripo, Rodin and high quality need Pro, Studio or Max.
Meshy 7.1, sized to real-world height. Always a standard generation.
Tencent's 3D model, with fast standard and detailed high-quality generations.
Tripo P2 with PBR materials. Premium only, on Pro, Studio and Max.
High-quality custom objects and characters from text or images.
Using more than one computer
A license key can be active on 3 computers at a time. To move it to another computer, open the Premium preferences on the one you no longer use and click Deactivate. This frees the slot and switches that computer back to your own API keys. The key stays filled in, so reactivating later is one click.
Managing your subscription
Click Manage account in the Premium preferences to upgrade, downgrade, cancel or download invoices. You can also use the account page.
- Upgrading (for example, from Hobby to Pro or Pro to Studio) applies immediately, and this month's usage carries over.
- Downgrading takes effect at your next billing date.
- If you cancel, Premium keeps working until the end of the period you've paid for.
Troubleshooting
When a Premium generation fails, your assistant tells you why and doesn't retry on its own. Failed generations are not counted in your quota.
License key not recognised
Check the key in Preferences against the one in your email. Make sure there are no extra spaces.
